[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] True enough but the road to citizenship is gardly an easy one- and the twisting loops of red tape to get a workers visa is a nightmare. Notice the Republicans fighting against immigration reform though- making the border a police state woud still not address the core problems- American business' hiring of illegals to keep costs down (and Americans dont want higher food costs, no matter what they think about illegals) and the lack of jobs on the Mexican side. Ol' Calderon can come here and bitch about the law all day, but it's the shitty conditions in Mexico that drive people to seek something better here. The vocal critics of this law say it's racist - and it is- because it opens the floodgates for illegal searchesa and arrests based on an officer's suspicions (bias) and the person's skin color. The proponents of this law would be up in arms if white people were trageted this way- believe it. The law allows cops to go after anyone they think is "illegal"- it's not specific to Mexicans, which means a cop could harass an asian person (for example) just as easily with no reprecussions. Every police department has at east [i]some[/i] real racists and this gives them carte blance, while making the good cops' duty much harder as public resentment grows in minority areas. And then there's the far extremists like Rand Paul that have even said they want to repeal the 14th Amendment- stripping the children of ilegal immigrants of their citizenship. As though Rand Paul's family are native americans. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
