Arizona immigration law

Here's a great example of why some police officers are not qualifed to qualify to uphold the law.

In typical fashion, they act like morons and when they get caught on tape/film?

They target the person doing the filming, beat the crap out of them and the city loses on the settlements awarded to the 'victims'.

I have heard of a few cases where IAs are awarded bucks and a get out of jail free card for the stupidity of a few idiots...

If there was no camera watching, they probably would have been a few arrests- "The perp aimed his bike at me and I feared for my life, so I knocked him to the ground and effected an arrest...."


Great, a few cyclists that irked an officer and made him take action.:rolleyes:;):eek:

I think that people should come here legally and apply for citizenship. However, I do not blame some people for not coming here legally. It's damned near IMPOSSIBLE to come here legally anymore. Especially for hispanic people, who unfortunately, have a bad rep here in the US. If it's going to take 10+ years to get citizenship here, there is always going to be illegal immigrants. Period.

As for the Arizona law, I think it is unnecessary to ask random people off the street for their legal status... and it's mostly going to be based off racial discrimination. However, if they're doing something wrong or pulled over or something, then yes I think they can ask for status. We have to show our IDs when we're pulled over, they need to show theirs too.

I'm not that informed on this subject, but this is just my opinion. As I've got a boyfriend from South America that's waiting FOREVER to get any kind of status, it's very frustrating to me that it's so hard to get citizenship here, much less any kind of residency. They keep telling him "six more months... six more months..." It's pretty ridiculous. :rolleyes::(

My dad was a green card holder for 30+ years and he earned his citizenship when he was about 72 years old.

In 1984 Dan Blatnick won the first Olympic medal for the U.S. in freestyle wrestling in YEARS.

The next morning the media quoted Blatnick as saying, "Nothing is impossible, the impossible just takes longer".

I never thought my dad was a fatalist.
But, man, he was optomistic.;)

Only reason my stepdad finally became a citizen was because he was tired of not having a say in the a**hats that kept getting voted into office and their a**hatterish antics.

LOLOL,

A**haterish?

Wasn't that the character that Johnny Depp played in the Alice in Wonderland movie?:eek:;)

After my dad became a citizen I chided him to register and go vote.

He said, "Pinches bandidos, que han echo por mi?"

"Dang bandits, what have they done for me?"

You know, he was on to something...;)
