@USRecovery2kX but what EXACTLY is it that gives the ppl that are born there more rights than those that just come there? is it the good luck? the diff. circumstances that resulted the person being born within the borders? why should ppl be punished and rewarded for something they didnt have control of, or for something their ancestors have done? to decide on it, they'd have to have created this place. did they? or did they just kill ppl on its ground to make room for themselves?

@otakukatie my question is, WHAT makes you think you that you've been born there (i guess) have more right for the jobs in the land you both live now than those who just went there? they did nothing to deserve that less, wether you've been born in a good place or had to go there after being born is obviously a matter of luck. everyone should be free to go anywhere in this world that none of us created and so none of us can claim,as long as hes treating the othes there with RESPECT.

@otakukatie Suffer the presence? Taking jobs? What exactly are you suffering from and what specific jobs are you talking about?

[vicko7476]

WHY DON'T YOU GET IT RACIST SHEEPS, BIG CORPORATIONS ARE OUTSOURCING YOUR JOB FOR $1.00 AN HOUR AT THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES. TIME TO TAX THE RICH DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[otakukatie]

70 does is solidify NATIONAL laws that are in place in EVERY SINGLE STATE to protect all of our rights and safety. We Arizonans are tired of being singled out by our own president and fellow Americans as it is unnecessary and ridiculous. But, I can assure you, we WILL not back down.

[otakukatie]

Such hypocritical statements. You are condemning Arizona for so called "racial injustice" by, in essence, singling out Arizona. Is that not what you condemn us for? Singling others out? This bill is designed solely to protect the rights of Americans who are here legally and honestly. We in Arizona suffer from the presence of those here illegally, those who break the law. We struggle to find jobs as so many are already taken by the illegal immigrants that undermine us as Americans. All that SB10
