I am illegal.. have been for the last 22years. I speak English, does that means I can stay lol... Please there is plenty of ignorant people who agree to this law only because it validates their racism. Because I look white, I speak English without an accent I have been able to live as an american most of my life. I work, I pay taxes, I send my kids to school, I volunteer at several organizations, I am involve in my community. I also pay fines to immigration, an attorney, and several other fees just to stay here, but yet I am still illegal. I know what you are going to say, that I am stealling your jobs, that I am braking the law by staying here, fortunatelly for me no one is perfect and well neither am I. Good luck on having an Arizona free of Latinos.
^_^ Don't worry about cupcake. She's just a die hard idiot racist. Luckily not everyone thinks like her. She doesn't read very well either. I see you wrote "living as an american" and she thinks it's her right to tell you you're not an American. Huge difference between "living as" and actually is. Thank you for also saying you pay taxes. For some reason she just wouldn't believe it.
I wish you luck in getting your papers. I don't think this law is going to last long anyway. There are so many more people against it then there are for it. They held a protest for it and thousands of people showed up, as opposed to the people who held a rally for it with only a few hundred.
They tried to make a law like this in California back in the 90's. That law went down faster then CuppyCakes's I.Q. There are so many high ranking opponents to it, including the President himself that it shouldn't make it very far. Not to mention the legal issues.
I'm not saying there isn't an immigration problem. I'm just saying there are better ways to handle it.
I just wanted to point out to that their has been several polls and research from several of the national broadcast networks such as CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, MSNBC, CNN and a few others that show 62% of American's support the new Arizona Immigration Law and 70% of Arizonan's support the law. Several independent polling groups such as Rasmussen Reports, Polling Point, FAIR, Poll Watch, Quinnipiac University poll, Gallup, Pew Research Center, Wall Street Journal/NBC show, PBS.org, and the list goes on. What I find interesting is that all of the national broadcast networks and the independent polling groups are showing just about exact polls. Besides Oklahoma, at least 15 other states are considering following Arizona and proposing similar legislation, according to the Immigration Policy Center: Arkansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. Did you know that In 2007 the Oklahoma Legislature passed the Oklahoma Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act 2007, which, until Arizona’s passage, was considered the most stringent anti-immigrant law in the country. The law makes it a crime to knowingly transport unauthorized immigrants; requires state contractors to check the immigration status of all workers; and revokes business licenses of employers who knowingly hire unauthorized immigrants. In addition, it denies unauthorized immigrants driver’s licenses and requires proof of citizenship for certain government benefits. Some of the proposals they are considering include confiscating vehicles driven by undocumented immigrants and preventing birthright citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants in the United States.
My State of Minnesota has been discussing and planning for a similar law as Arizona's, and their are a few other States that are considering passing an even tougher law than Arizona's new law. With this being said I think it will be though to stop the majority of Arizonan's and American's that support the new Arizona law and an even tougher time stopping each State that passes a similar law.
