He Didn’t Just Lie About Arizona: Calderon Fibbed About Assault Weapons, Too
I’m for securing the borders. I think illegal immigration is a problem. I think with technology we have today it is possible to reduce illegals from mexico to a negligible problem and it is a matter of politics, not ability, which prevents the feds from doing this. I support the AZ law authorizing the police to ask anyone they suspect of being illegal for documentation.
Nothing I have said from my earliest posts contradict my position on these things.
My earlier posts has to do with the way you and most other conservatives are going about this. We should sympathize with the people coming here for a better life. We should recognize them for what they are: economic refugees. If we catch them coming in, we should put them up in a nice air conditioned facility, where they are fed a steak and a big glass of ice tea, by friendly sympathetic guards while they wait for a bus to bring them back to the border. Then we should bill Calderon and the Mexican government for the expense of the buses, the arresting cops, the guards, the air conditioned cell, the steak, and the ice tea.
But you don’t want to blame the Mexican government for allowing and creating a crises which forces these people to risk their lives for their families, you don’t want to blame our government for winking and nodding so that industries here can pay cheaper wages. No, you want to hate on poor peasant who comes here to work. You want to call him a criminal. At least thats what it seems to me that you and others in this thread want to do. It seems bigoted to me as a proud white southern conservative, so I know how it must seem to anyone of hispanic descent.
