It's going to be hard to boycott AZ since all they have are cactus and senior citizens, the only side that will lose out is AZ, seriously once the senior citizens die who wants to move there?

Sophia Sanchez, I live in Austin and am married to a Mexicana. I have lived in Chihuahua, MX for two years as well. I also know people from other countries in Latin America. I applaud you in your statements. Mexicans make other nationalities from Latin America look bad. Mexico is one of the most F*****d up nations I've ever seen, and their people are p*****s who will not fight for their rights in their own country.

Juan Sanchez, if you had any kind of education you would know that the Southwest was only Mexico's for a short time, the Mexicans could not handle the Native Americans and so they asked the gringos to come settle there. Santa Anna thought he could control them, but history shows he was wrong. Ya'll started a war you could not win. Now ya'll are getting pissed because we know the current game and are not playing it anymore. The U.S. has never needed Mexico and never will. We are not "interdependent." The factories left and went to China because the labor was less expensive than in Mexico.

As for Mexico and immigration laws, see what they do to people in Mexico that are from Central America and South America illegally. They do not even give them any protection under Mexican laws!

Mexico warns us? Mexicans sending money home to Mexico is one of the top ways that Mexico recieves money. Arizona should say since Mexico is boycotting AZ, AZ will not allowing anymore money transfer to Mexico. That would take care of the boycott!

Did the Arizona policy practitioners lose consciousness of the 3000 Americans who where ANNIHILATATED in New York and the THOUSANDS our people traumtize with physical and mental disabilities due to freely permitted and schooled "YOU KNOW" and the names are NOT, "Jose or Garcia".

Mexico warns US? Please. They don't allow anyone to sneak across their borders, & worse, it's actually illegal for anyone in Mexico to ATTEMPT to alter the "demographics."

That means if too manynon-Hispanics start to come in & it alters the make-up of the race there--those people will be kicked out--if they're lucky! I mean, in Mexican jails, they don't feed inmates. Inmates have to arrange their own food.

Mexico is corrupt, has been since I can remember--a long time--& the drug cartels alone are enough reason to want the borders blocked & all illegals--yes, "anchor babies" too!--sent home--be it Mexico or Iran! And yes, there have been terrorists who've sneaked in through our borders.

I am sick of people LYING about what's in that bill, by the way. The only instance when it even comes into play is after some sort of crime is being investigated by the police! PLUS, it's not any different than the FEDERAL version. The biggest diff is that the STATE one WILL be enforced, because all border states are =seriously= in need of its protection. So let the Leftists & RINOs in D.C. play politics all they like. WE the PEOPLE have HAD IT. We're at the point of picking up rifles & protecting ourselves, & I think Arizona knew it. Thank GOD the Gov got that bill passed!

Go home, illegals! Stand up to your slave masters & be adults! You have no right to come here & rob us blind, & THEN have the cajones to bitch about our country not giving you enough welfare?!

Stop being lazy! Other people have gotten their goals straight & done things the right way, so you can, too! Are you children? Or are you lazy adults? If you think you're adult, then PROVE IT, & STOP FREELOADING OFF AMERICANS. And by the way, I live in a largely Hispanic area, & my Hispanic LEGAL neighbors are just as mad at you as I am!

Okay as I see it, it seems to me that we tend to forget that the land we occupied down by California, Arizona, Texas, and etc. All that land was part of Mexico. Did we say hey can we have this land? No we went in and kicked them out as we did to the natives. The native's the people that were here before us the americans. Well mexicans are native's to california, arizona, and texas. Native americans get special benefits for being treated wrongly. Don't forget to think that where we want to kick certain people out of their land! land that was there's before any of you or any american put foot down on...& I think Mexicans have more of an influence on everything then anybody can imagine. BILL OF ARIZONA is racial profiling and I am against it. I am proud to say I am an American and can see it differently then having to be a hard ass american.

I am from Latin America also. However, there are laws and rules in each country for a reason. Why should those that obey these have to throw up their hands just because others have made the choice to break these laws/rules and are now demanding this behavior be OK. It's not about being one race of a melting pot. Do it legally like all the rest of us, that is why you are called an "illegial" because the route you have choosen to take is against the rules. Find a way to pay your own way, to add to this country. Have you noticed that there are people from other countries that are not here legally. I have worked with people from Tiawan, Phillipines, ect. The difference is they act responsible in the community. They are honest in their dealings, not looking for the first opportunity to screw someone over. They may be here illegally but they live by the rules. The illegals from Mexico are conduct themselves in just the opposite manner. I have lost a very dear friend from an illegal drunk driver, who had no insurance. I am latina but I am not willing to pay the price for such incompitance from individuals that have such disregard for thenselves and humanity as a whole. We just can't afford you anymore...bottom line!

all the central american contries depend on the inmigration legal or ilegal and that is a fact because i dont see any african american or ireland or english or any other race then latinos and spanish picking the fields for strawberrys,chiles,tomatoes,and nobody complains we just continue to abuse of the sistem, it is so complicated that the only way to get it solve is to came to the understanding that we are all human and belong to th same race beacause if my blod is white, or brown, or latino, or egiptian or german, or french ,or inglish ,or ireland ,we are all human please just remember all the pain we had been thruu

Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America ? The answers may surprise you!

In California , if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico , it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.

In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grand-kids - would move back 'home', mostly to Mexico . That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.

Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.

Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop-out/flunk-out rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado .

Denver 's four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.

In Florida , 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America , the rule of law, and English.

In Chicago , Illinois , 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.

If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home' --

If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home', the U.S. Economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 Billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers.

No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.

We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country.

In cities like L.A. , 20,000 members of the ' 18th Street Gang' would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans!
No more foreign rapists and child molesters!

Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!

America 's economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to the aliens' home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America 's economy - which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt.

At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California , Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act.

Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country-brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.

Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our greenhouse gases.

Over one million of Mexico 's poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville , Texas to San Diego , California in what the New York Times called, "colonias" or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, electricity, roads or any kind of sanitation. The New York Times reported them to be America 's new " Third World " inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. (I've seen them personally in Texas and Arizona ; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico .

We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico . We already invite a million people into our country legally more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation. It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life.

This is or country and if you Mexicans do not like it go back to Mexico were life is so good, stop coming here and begging for handouts.

listen i am Mexican and i'm all for my people trying to better themselves doing what ever they have to do. i disagree with this law just because you have "suspicion" that a person is here illegally shouldn't give you the right to go and ask them for legal documentation and the saying the minority is truly the majority and it is america so learn how to speak Spanish ironic right Sydney. on the other hand there are plenty of ways that not only Hispanics but also Asians or Mideastern can get here legally it just takes time and money which not all of us have. many people risk their life trying to come here to better their life who are just here to work and not bother any one those people should be able to stay and we are not popping kids out left and right you racist bigot talk about stereotyping and if their kids are not born here it doesn't make them legal but those kids do deserve a chance and an education it wasn't their choice to be born so they shouldn't go uneducated. finally their are plenty of illegal immigrants who pay their taxes so do your research convey your own opinion and do not just say oh its wrong because i am Mexican and i know illegal people but also do not say yes get rid of all the immigrants every one deserves a chance do not shut them out only because they do not have a ssn.

Think about it people, things will get violent, people will sue, innocent american citizens who have brown skin will be discriminated agains, and what kind of people will want to visit a place where all this is going on ? NO ONE! We are already in the red and now Mexico is now thinking about stopping all business with Arizona, WE DONT NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!! We are just now getting back out of the housing crisis and now we are just going to be digging ourselves into a bigger hole.

Brandi, i completely agree. it might not be the best way to handle this immigration situation, but it isnt fair that hundreds of LEGAL americans aren\'t able to get jobs and just because illegal mexicans charge $1 an hour for any job out there. i think this is an ok thing to do, it might offend hispanics because there are different groups within the hispanic community but its what needs to be done.
and juan sanchez, arizona isnt dependent on mexico!! arizona has always been mexican becuase it is the easiest place for them to hop over to our country!!
it somewhat baffles me that in AMERICA [in arizona] i walk into a store and no one speaks engligh,just spanish, and get mad at me for not speaking their language. yeah, its not like were in america or anything where the dominant language is English.

How dare ANY illegal immigrant, hispanic or other, to think it's okay to come to our country and use all of our federal aid. Most of them make more than any of the lower class americans and they walk right into the social security office and get help no questions asked. But if a lower class american walks in and they make $50 to much a month they are automatically declined. To top it off hispanics pop out children left and right and because they were born here are considered "citezens" and what do you know, they mooch off the education system as well. And they have the nerve to call Americans names and talk badly about our country after they get a free ride!! If they want to come over to our country by getting a Visa, learning ENGLISH, paying taxes and following our laws that is great, more power to them but if they are here illegally they need to get the hell out. And shame on the Mexican government for letting it happen and supporting us paying for THEIR people!!! The Mexican president should stop living like royalty and start taking care of his own. If Mexico is such a bad place to live they all need to fight like our ancestors had to for their OWN life liberty and pursuit of happiness.

''hispanics aren't the only....''... You're right.. but guess what, what country boarders Arizona?? Mexico..and the residents are what? MOSTLY HISPANIC!
What if Washington, Montana, or North Dakota did the same as AZ? Can the Canadian's claim racism?? NO! Using the race card has become some idiotic trump card. Someone disagree's with you, they're racist. That's bull shit.

Undocumented immigration is ILLEGAL! Thanks for fucking immigration up for the rest of us law abiding citizens.

Then fine the Mexican government for the cost to do so.

Maybe then, the Mexican government will not be so quick to think that the USA is it's minion?

The law that was passed is far fetched and immoral. I live in peace with everyone, of every race. Arizona is going to push its luck and question the wrong hispanic about their status and they are indeed going to be legal and not going to have documentation to prove it... There will be a law suit. and Arizona will lose. Mexico has every reason to re-think their relations with Arizona.

Sophia Sanchez on Apr 26, 2010 at 03:23:41 said:

Arizona does not depend on Mexico, we are quite self sufficient. There are means put in place for people to become citizens of the United States legally. I am a nurse and have watched while those who come here illegially rape our health care system and other services, that we as tax payers provide to the community. This wouldn't be such a big issue if they carried their own weight in the community. Well, thank God for people like Jan Brewer and Joe Arpio who stand up and say enough is enough. Bottom line is we just can't afford to support illegial immigrants anymore. No offense intended but the free ride is over!

jerseycityjoan on Apr 26, 2010 at 00:48:45 said:

The solution to illegal immigration from Mexico is obvious:

If the Mexican government would apply the same standards to itself as it does to us, then the poor Mexicans wouldn't have to leave in the first place.

America isn't perfect -- but look, the main problem is the heartless ruling class of Mexico who keep themselves rich and most everybody else there dirt poor and ignorant. Even if we allowed half the Mexican population to come here, most of the remaining half down there would be miserable.

And of course being an illegal immigrant is a crime in Mexico, pretty funny that their ambassador calls us out on that. Again, if only they'd do for themselves what they demand of us.

Lee on Apr 25, 2010 at 22:18:10 said:

One of the problems and the source of misunderstanding is that the word "accountability" does not exist in the Spanish language. I am currently living in Mexico and I have noticed that the poor and some middle class DO want a free ride in the USA. For example, they see nothing wrong with sending their kids across the border every day to attend the public schools in the Rio Grande Valley (tip of Texas). They use an address of a family member or a friend that does live on the Texas side in order to do so. I inform them that our property taxes directly support school districts and that our property taxes are A LOT more than in Mexico which does not support the Mexican public school system. When you ask them how is it fair to the residents of Texas who do pay property taxes they say either that they do pay sales tax when they shop in the Valley or that we, USA citizens have money or therefore we should look the other way. Mexican society is about taking advantage of the other person, it stems from centuries of repressive colonialism. The only solution is to arrest illegal immigrants and incarcerate them, deny their children US citizenship (anchor babies), deport them also, and arrest business owners (US citizens) that hire illegal immigrants. Mexicans are stubborn and they do not understand anything short of a strong hand over them.

Maybe it is a hotter issue closer to the border, but I live in Connecticut and these people are spreading like wildfire to areas north and east. We are seeing welfare fraud, violent crimes, increased demand for special programs in our schools and the citizens have had enough. I emailed your governor to applaud her conviction and fortitude to turn this situation around. Our country cannot sustain the current levels of illegals. We are like a lifeboat being pulled under by them and their needs and demands. Thank you Governor, I pray it is a start to get other states moving on this issue.

First, The new law is about racial discrimination as it will be use on anyone thats suspected of being in the state & country illegally, and yes illegal immigration by Mexicans is currently a major problem.
Mexico's own Immigration laws are worse yet, so anyone that caught being in Mexico illegally is just hauled to a prison where that are kept months or years before being deported back to their country. Legal Immigration to Mexico you will be a second class citizen with no rights want so ever and it does not matter how long you live. there

That's an excellent point, Juan.

And you WOULD have been absolutely correct... but there's just one small problem; the coming era of permanent mass unemployment is going derail the Mexican takeover of the Southwest United States, more than any law/government initiative in history. And there's nothing Obama can do about it.

You see, Juan, for your invasion to succeed, there must be a continuous supply of JOBS - like a fire needs oxygen. But the jobs are gone, Juan, and they aren't coming back. Oh, and welfare is also going to be severely cut because 46 US states are effectively bankrupt.

So say hello to 20% unemployment and widespread misery, Juan. And say goodbye to Reconquista.

( by the way, Mexico's birth rate has plummeted and soon Mexico, too, will have an ageing population needing young taxpayers ).

Simply put. The constant flow of illegal immigrants into Arizona IS the reason that right now all of the programs are cut, State employees are laid off, parks are closed, people are pissed and agencies like Child Protective Services are no longer able to help families. You want to solve Arizonas financial problems, get all of the people that never paid into the system to stop sucking us dry on a daily basis with the unemployment, food stamps, WIC, hospital bills and constant theft. Lets get that electronic fence finished already!

Giving authority to deport, to the police who people have trusted for protection, investigations, reports, accidents, theft, domestic violance, accidents etc; will only create more problems with in the enforcement community. People will be terrified of those who are supposed to serve and protect not terrify and deport. We all know who will be targeted, so the question of race has to come up. It is the reason hispanics are upset, many of them will mistakenly be targeted consequently insulted. I really don\'t picture officers targetting anglos; therefore, having a law with such purpose in mind and unintentionally profiling by race is certainly a serious mistake that america does not want to be involve in. Remember hitlers germany and the jews...except no gas involved.

this is just a stop on our way to the next Mexican/American war...let's not kid ourselves. We have to invade Mexico, and wipe out the cartels, and make it a state again. All their citizens will be U.S. citizens, then we can have peace, once we break their centuries of lawlessness.

Jose, If LatinoAmerica doesn\'t like the US immigrate to Mexico and change it to your liking.............!
The original America, everyone had to carry their own weight. Many immigrants had to stand up fight and die for their independence from tyranny, something Mexicans aren't willing to do in their own country.
The way we solve problems? I certaintly don\'t hear any resolutions from you. Or would you propose we do keep flipping the bill?

Retaliation? Because Mexico doesn't want to take care of their own? Rather than boycott, why doesn't Mexico contribute to the major deficit of Arizona and help us feed and provide the free medical care we are forced to provide to their people? NO, they'd rather retaliate and keep shipping their people to America to feed off Obama care. What's discriminating about controlling illegal immigration? I don't see the word Chinese, Latino, German, Hispanic, Irish, or Hungarian etc. in any of immigration laws. And by the way most of this new law is already federal law.

Come on Yankees...

That's why Latinoamérica doesn't like the US. And I'm NOT talking about a racial issue, but about your way to solve the problems; it's like no one has feelings.

Your country was not built with those intentions... I don't know what happened to the original America.

what is the problem what is wrong with them staying in there country instead of trying to make laws for our land, we cannot go over there and make their president allow us to change their country why do they think we should be forced to allow them to do just that

He could start off with having a national campaign to keep the Mexicans citizens THERE, instead of HERE, that come illegally. (Just thinking out loud).

BWM on Apr 24, 2010 at 21:35:46 said:

Fred, try to act like an adult. This new Arizona law clearly contemplates racial, ethnic & national discrimination in law enforcement. It's explicit in the legislative language, & the bill's author, Russell Pearce, has admitted as much. He said "it [race] certainly may be a factor." All the bill's defenders can claim for it is that race, ethnicity, & national origin aren't the ONLY factors it tell cops to consider. That's not good enough.

So people are right to be angry. You need to acknowledge that, stop with the veiled threats of violence, & live up to your claim that you're capable of living peaceably with your neighbors. Because the people you're doing your best to insult here are going to be your neighbors whether you like it or not. You already depend on them in ways you don't know.

Check out JUAAN Sanchez. First he sounds political with the big interdependent words. Then the true LA RAZA (the race) hate lines come out. Name calling and gang like take over speech that is racist and vicious. This GRINGO is armed with U.S. law and more to stop invaders and criminals like Juan from stealing my country. I live in peace with my neighbors of every race. Juan can kiss my norweigan ass.

Juan Sanchez on Apr 24, 2010 at 20:01:37 said:

Ted. Like it or not. Arizona depends on Mexico. Just like Mexico depends on Arizona. Like it or not. Both Mexico and the whole USA are now more interdependent that ever!!!
Besides Arizona always has been Mexican. Since the day, you Gringos took it from us, til today. Its a matter of time, and the whole southwest USA will be Mexican again. It just simple demographics and geographical location.
So, cheer for now with your stupid Xenophobic laws.Because in the future you Gringo kids are the ones that are going to be the minority. Time to learn Spanish PENDEJO.

Oh no! Mexico's mad at Arizona! Please don't tell me that Mexico's going to stop importing its poverty into Arizona now! Because, gee whiz, that'd really be a shame!
