Thread Name: BS: Arizona law on detaining illegal aliens
Subject: RE: BS: Jan Brewer takes step to save America
Genie - I agree with everything you say here. There are a lot of legal Hispanics who are as much against illegal immigration as everyone else is.
Your second point agrees with what I said--the best way to curb illegal immigration is to crack down on employers. If they would throw the board of directors of Tyson Foods in jail today, illegal immigration would probably end tomorrow.
Your last point is partly right. Employers would have put pressure on the administration if they'd had any clout with it. But it becomes necessary to draw the line between Hispanics as a group, and "Hispanic politicians." Hispanic politicians want as many Hispanics in the country as possible because it grows their electorate.
You only have to Google "The Nation Of Aztlan," to discover one segment of this argument. Other's are not quite so radical, but that's an element that has not gone away, and probably won't.
