Arizona is not a ghost town, business are leaving due to high taxation, if a business are leaving due to immigration laws being enforced that means the business were using slave labor and driving the wages down for the American people, Both the republicans and democraps are guilty from using illegal immigration to fit thier agenda, its bull shit we need to draw the line in the sand, Americans need the jobs now more than EVER. Report and Deport for America's sake!!!!!!!

[orland9999]

he calls being in the country illegally a civil penalty. What is the consequence of being in the country illegally? Answer. Deportation. The end result is deportation he can call it anthing he wants but that is the law.

LOL @ beaner

Who the fuck is this beaner talking about injusties here? Get your fucking illegal people to stop climbing the fence and stop swimming across the river and there won't be any more problems. if your agenda is to bring large truck-loads of Mexicans into the United States, you're going to be fought, and fought with avengence.

@scalesofjustice0 I agree they do call people racist, when most likely they aren't but when you support that bill that clearly targetes mexicans thats simply wrong. None of us care for another human life because weve got it good. we just need to stop pointing figers AND stop blaming our-selves we need to work togther to find the right answer

[RMich39]

There are wrong people on both sides the fact is that the new bill in arizona it just isnt right. Its a clear target towards the mexican people, who are scared from the violence that has plagued their country in recent years. I'am American and proud of it and if I was threatend by a mexican cartel mobster too pay him for protection or theyll murder me and my family I would flee for freedom too. It needs to stop we need to just work togther to find the right solution, Not point fingers.

If you want to see/keep up on life at Sal's day labor center visit 'jackie40d' here on Youtube.

My point is, if you want to see this illegal immigration problem stopped YOU have to get involved and HELP US STOP IT. They try to use the "race card" and when that doesn't work they use the "civil rights" whine and then try to hide behind "the poor children". They use those issues because there is NO VALID ARGUMENT for coming and living here illegally. It's the parent's fault if their child has to see them taken away to jail and deported. THEY CHOSE to have those children and take that risk.

I've spent over a year protesting at Sal Reza's day labor center on 25th Street and Bell. What is never mentioned by him or his ilk is how many AMERICAN citizens living in the neighborhood of his day labor center or areas where Joe's sweeps have taken place ARE GRATEFUL that someone has "done something" to get rid of the IA problem. We've had many people stop just to tell us how much nicer and quieter their neighborhood is now since we've been going there. Now we're finding other areas to hit.
