I've heard soooo many people talking shit about Mexicans and that they should just "shut the fuck up" about claiming this law as racist.
I want THEM to shut the fuck up.
I have RELATIVES in Arizona who are experiencing first hand the toll this bullshit law is taking on the immigrants. They've told me that most of the police officers WILL randomly just go up to people who look like immigrants and ask them for proper documents, even though the law states that they can only be questioned or stopped if they are seen doing something that's already wrong. My cousins have also told me that in most cases, it'll be WHITE officers and will act more like douchebags than non-white officers.
I know most people will say "Well, they're ILLEGAL! They're stealing our jobs and using our free healthcare and education, blah blah blah..". I think we are all entitled to be able to live wherever we want to live and be able to enjoy the benefits of being an American. Why do we need to deport these people and send them back to their country? Why can't we HELP THEM become legal citizens instead of kicking them out? Everybody deserves that chance. And no, they're not stealing our jobs. If those jobs are available to them, it's because no American citizen wants it. A California employer who grows grapes was interviewed recently, and told the newslady that no Americans wanted the jobs he was offering, which was to pick grapes in the hot sun. He said the only people who were up for this job were immigrants, and he didn't even want to know if they were illegal or not because he needed people working for him. These "illegals" are taking even the worst jobs available to them in order to provide for their families and bring food to the table. The last thing they need to worry about is to not be able to walk the streets in fear of the law being after them.
I'm all for being in this country legally, but I'm against just kicking them outta here! This country is going to shit.
