Gee ... listening to all our wrong-wingers here, you'd think that such a perfect law didn't need any adjustments other than being made more strict. Whoops. :) |

I believe that this is the beginning of the end of this law. If it had to be changed one week after it was passed (and before a lawsuit) it proves that the law was flawed anyways. Either the boycott, lawsuit, referendum, or change in governor / legislature will do this law in. Not to mention that the mainstream GOP won't touch it like a hot potato. I don't even think that the law's supporters will care, they woke up the sleeping giant as far as the immigration debate went (which they wanted). |

I don't even think that the law's supporters will care, they woke up the sleeping giant as far as the immigration debate went (which they wanted).Much as I hate to say it George Bush did make an attempt at this this issue when he proposed his immigration refrom. His attempt was unworkable and unweildy but I really haven't heard anyone else come up with some ideas of their own. This Arizona law is bull-headed and probably will fall of its own weight. Nevertheless illegal immigration is a serious problem especially for smaller communities, but its an economic problem not a racial one. Many of the Hispanic families in the American Southwest have been there longer then the some of the Anglos. While its a serious problem its not the penultimate issue of the day. Completely ending illegal immigration (if such a thing is possible) with not solve all the countries problems from the national debt to hemmorhoids. There is a poem written by Emma Lazarus about a great lady who stand in New York Harbor. The New Colossus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" That's the America that I know and believe in. Larry, RedbirdR3 |
