from the edge of the deep green sea

Before we start with the ruling, let’s start with the case, shall we? I’m talking about the whole Arizona SB1070 law being passed. In a nutshell, this law gives police the authority to request immigration papers / green card, from anyone whom they might suspect is an illegal immigrant.

Apparently, this has caused major issues from Latin illegal and legal immigrants (and super stars as well) in the US. Some are questioning the moral of this ruling that horribly violates the rights of ILLEGAL immigrants in the US. Yeah, that’s right, United States of America – you, as a country, have failed to please those that live illegally in your country. Those fellows that don’t pay taxes, that use the medical services the the citizens of your country pay for, those who simply walk into a country and expect all of their life’s problem to magically disappear into thin air – shame on you!

Although the law might be viewed as discriminatory, this is something illegal immigrants have brought to themselves. I believe that there are very hard working illegal immigrants in the US, but on the other hand, you have an incredible amount of people who are only looking for ways to abuse the power, and this is what messes everything up – for everyone.

The United States is a great country with lots of opportunities, no one is questioning that. About 3 years ago I applied to work at a tech company in the US and was offered a position. I quickly watched my window of opportunity close in my face because there were no green cards available for that year. I moved on, and by moving on, I mean looking for the next best thing without becoming a parasite to the country I was longing to be a part of.

The problem where it stands, sucks donkey balls. So, how the hell do you fix this? The problem is so out-of-hand that apparently passing these drastic laws seems like viable options. And don’t expect this to end this right here, people in the US are getting quite sick of this, and stricter, more demanding laws will undoubtedly follow.

So what will happen? Well, since Arizona is no longer a safe, illegal immigration haven, there will be an incredible exodus of illegal immigrants to other states, which will probably get sick of the whole issue and pass similar laws.

And really, I don’t get what’s all the fuss about this law. Legal immigrants bitch that this is discriminatory because they can be asked to present their papers whenever, which you should not have a problem with if you are a legal immigrant. And, as far as I know, nobody is forcing you to live in Arizona – if you don’t like the legislature, your are free to live elsewhere.

The *real* reason behind the bitching of this law is that there are thousands of illegal immigrants in Arizona, and their families are scared shitless that grandpa and grandma might be deported because of their illegal status. I know it sucks, but you have brought this problem upon yourself, if you hadn’t broken the rules, there wouldn’t be anything to fear.
