Thread Name: BS: Arizona law on detaining illegal aliens
Subject: RE: BS: Arizona law on detaining illegal aliens
Sanity, Americans, even the liberal ones, have no sympathy with those who want to enter the United States for criminal activity. That makes no sense, and it's ridiculous to even think of bringing that into the discussion.
What we're talking about is immigrant workers who come here looking for a way to earn a living and make a life for themselves. It's very difficult for them to get permission to come into this country to work.
When you refer to them as "fucking, free-loading, benefit grabbing, kid-producing, violent, non-English speaking assholes," I think that perhaps that you are forgetting that they are human beings. If we are a civilized people, than I think we owe our fellow human beings at least a modicum of respect and compassion - especially if they are hungry and impoverished.
