Arizona Immigration Law

Folks are loadin’ their shotguns after that Arizona SB1070 got signed into law. I tell ya Clem, Arizona got a problem there. Some folks are callin’ this an “anti-immigration” law. Wonder how many of them read the law itself. Looks more like an “anti-ILLEGAL-immigration” law to me. But, reckon I don’t give a hoot if that law is good or bad. I don’t live in Arizona, so to my mind it ain’t my problem. Got enough of my own.

Of course you know I got some thoughts on that situation, otherwise I wouldn’t be settin’ at this here computer. First off is them demonstrations. Most of ‘em are scheduled for May Day (that’s been the traditional day all them anarchists and socialists get together to put on political demonstrations). I hear tell they’re gonna demonstrate in 70 (or there about) cities. So just what do them cities got to do with Arizona anyway?

Yep, and bein’ the American way, a bunch of “non-profit” groups say they’re going conjure up lawsuits against the law. Jumpin’ on that hay wagon so far are The National Coalition Of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders (based in Washington DC), The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and the National Immigration Law Center (both in Los Angeles), and of course the ACLU (NYC,NY). You see any Arizona organizations in there Sis?

Some folks in Arizona seem to like the idea. That sheriff in Maricopa County thinks it’s a good tool. Especially since they got more than their share of illegals. The Feds estimate they got over half a million illegals in Arizona. Lots a pretty good crop seein’ as how there’s only 5 million legal residents in the state.

All in all, the folks in Arizona elected their government. By the way, did you know that 29% of Arizona legal voters are Latino? And that percentage goes up as you head south? Hell, Arizona (like Texas) used to be in Mexico – until we took it! Besides, the north end’s got that big ditch and a bunch of Indian reservations. Well, anyway, if the people of Arizona don’t like what’s goin’ on, seems like them same people oughta send their politicians packing. It ain’t the business of them folks from the other end of the country. That’s what I think, but I am…
