and with that, this thread has jumped the shark

I read about them capturing some Coyotes that had a couple of AKs, and RPK, and the Russian Drum fed Grenade launcher in the back of a car. That could've seriously ruined someone's day.


Must have been big time CoD fans.

Or rednecks in disguise.

Rednecks do love guns man. My .45 is my baby. Nothing makes me happier than feeling that sucker kick, delivering some full metal loving to whatever the feth Im trying to hit. Well women make me happier, but thats a given. Im totally not gay I swear.

I'm Bi so I really wouldn't care about that.

And... yea.. I'll stick to my bow.

I am all for this law.

If you are here legally, then you have nothing to worry about. How flipping hard is it to go "Here you go Officer, here is my drivers license/green card ect ect" and hand it over for 30 seconds??

Suck it up and drive on.

The feds can't even get it right, much less some yokel sheriff deputy.

Here's a quot for you,
"As ICE increased its collaboration with state and local police and prisons under changes to immigration laws and policies in recent years, some detainees who have had a run-in with the law drop through a trapdoor from the criminal justice system into deportation proceedings."

You leave the house without your ID to walk down the street to the convenience store, some cop thinks your look suspicious and asks for ID, you say it's at home but they just cuff you and haul you in; next thing you know, you're spending 9 months behind bars trying to prove that you're a citizen. Guilty of being brown.

I'm not saying illegal immigration isn't a problem. I just think there are better ways of going about it than creating a system whereby you are effectively terrorizing a segment of the population.

SFGate?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

My main issue with the law, besides the fact that it can cause serious problems for Hispanic citizens, is the fact that it will introduce an entire population to the prisons of Arizona. There are half a million illegal immigrants in the state, roughly, and even a fraction of that will likely overburden the prison system, while DIRECTLY pouring taxpayer money into housing, feeding, and basically protecting illegal immigrants.

In my eyes, this law is the worst of both sides, and is bound to cause more problems that it solves.

I would also like to apologize for the migrant workers that have contributed so much to the entire countries economy, while also introducing the ability to live in an actual house within their own country... instead of a mud hut. Damn evil bastards, HOW DARE THEY STRUGGLE!!!

It seems much easier to paint with massive brush strokes...

I would also like to add that I do not think the passing of this law, was anything other than an attempt to shove immigration into the spotlight, in order to force a move from the Feds. Conversations like these change the future of our country, don't underestimate the power of coffee-table discussions.

I don't apologize. We did not create the mess that is Mexico. It was a mess since the Spanish were kicked out. Take your guilt somewhere else.

Translation = Nuke Mexico from Orbit... It is the only way to be sure.

Fixed your quote.

Agreed.

Then again, what do I know about problems with Illegals... oh wait.... I helped boarder patrol for 2 months in Texas and have seen first hand how big a problem it really is.

You must have been hot. On the positive, mayhaps you partook of the perfection that is Tex-Mex.

Yeah and the fact that I work for the government and deal with legal and illegal immigrants on a daily basis carries no merit...

None to me. You're part of the problem.

Which government? There is more than one you know. In what capacity to you deal with said immigrants? Your statement is somewhat vague and needs clarification.

hmm

Not particularly. I was intentionally vague as this is an anonymous forum after all. That and my boss doesn't need to know how I spend my breaks.

I would like to hear this one.

And here is some proof that I do know what I am talking about. As said I have come face to face with the said problem.

You expect us to believe you worked with an agency whose name you can't even spell?

What capacity were you "helping" them in? Because calling them to report someone as a suspected illegal != "helping".

Hey as long as they didn't make you wear the old school wool blue uniforms....

Wise minds can disagree. Though rarer, others will contend Texas chicken fried steak remains king. It used to be the law that Texans had to eat chicken fried steak at least once a fortnight, or before rustling Mexican/Oklahoman cattle, whichever came first.

Please, if you can't think of anything to argue and have to resort to becomming a grammar nazi, then I suggest you move along for there is nothing to see here.

Proudly displayed, in the second paragraph, "in defeating and elusive, narco-terrorist". You'd think they could edit something if they wanted to be taken seriously...

Should I scan my degree and certificates for you? My word carries just as much weight in a discussion on the topic matter as yours. You spent a week doing something and I've spent years working within the community. Congrats.

Also Fraz:
Tex Mix was good. Though the little gut truck filled with locals serving us was a godsend over issue foodstuffs.

And if they would have made me run around in the old school blues, you would have seen me naked greeting boarder jumpers.

Sorry there sweetheart, I've already made my point. Not my fault you can't bother to read it or need it spelled out with pictures.

The point is:
This law is ENTIRELY ridiculous. It's racial profiling at its very core.

You want to do something about illegal immigration?

Then put the companies making it lucrative to bring illegal immigrants across the border into your crosshairs.
