OK, we all know that this country has a large illegal immigrant issue. When Texas and New Mexico stepped up their border patrols in the 1990s, illegals naturally fled to the US through Arizona. So I can see why the state put forth this law; however, I also see the problems with it. I am against the idea that an officer can arrest you for nothing. Yes, nothing. They could ask for your I.D. and if you don't have it with you at that moment, they could arrest you. That's wrong. But like I said, I see why Arizona felt the need to do something drastic. But the state has to know that this will eventually get repealed.
That being said, I would like to explain why I understand Arizona's attempt at this I.D. law. First of all, I'm all for Texas passing a law that you must show your I.D. in order to vote in any election. I don't understand anyone when they say they are against that. Why? This leads into my argument. Something as simple as an I.D. is a start against illegal immigration. Why are so many Americans against this country's attempts to keep illegal immigration at bay? If you are an American citizen, why are you fighting against this country?
It would seem that illegals want everything handed to them for free, including the rights of an American citizen, while they are in fact NOT a citizen. How is this fair to people who are citizens and to other immigrants who came here the legal way? Let's not forget that illegals are here illegally. They are breaking the law. Why is America putting up with this? Oh wait, I know, liberal Democrats need the illegal votes to keep them in office. (haha)
America's biggest flaw right now is all this PC crap. Oh, everyone needs to be nice to everyone else and god forbid we offend anyone. Bah. When I was a kid, we played kickball and dodge-ball and dammit, we had a winner. Nowadays, everybody is a winner because it makes other kids feel bad to lose. Well boo-hoo. I lost a lot in school and it sucked. But you know what? It made me want to win and to fight back all the more! And when you've worked hard and you get sweet victory, it feels all the more fantastic because you earned it. Wanting to win gives people motivation and determination...something we need in this country.
This crap needs to stop. America is afraid of upsetting some Hispanics. I get it. However, America needs to grow its balls back. If you are of Hispanic decent and it's your heritage, then that's great! Celebrate it. Teach it to your children. But if you are also an American citizen, then that's your heritage too. When immigrants came to this country in the 1800s and early 1900s, they at least tried to become American. They at least learned English! Why aren't Hispanic-Americans proud of their country too? Why aren't they fighting against those who are coming here illegally? This illegal immigrant issue is a problem for every citizen, regardless of your heritage. Whatever happened to the mindset that we are all Americans together, regardless of race? I'm starting to wonder if we ever had that. But we certainly need it now.
I could go on and on, but I think I'll just stop here for now.
