“In my community, my family, I can tell you that we don’t appreciate being used as a political wedge issue,” said Crispin Rea, a Kansas City school board member. “Are you telling me that if I am riding through Maricopa County with my four cousins, who are proudly serving their nation in the Marines right now, that we will have to prove to some cowboy sheriff how American we are?” [...]

Mr. Rea, Please do not call our police COWBOY SHERIFF'S. and yes you do have to prove how American you are! It is the job of every American. As a citizen of the United States you should be standing behind our rights for immigration reform. As a member of the school board, you more then anyone should know the financial cost and the decline of our nations education system. Directly caused by illegal immigrants in our school system This issue has nothing to do with legal citizens, which I am assuming you are, and if your not you have nothing to say on the matter. How do you think I feel when I am excluded from a job, because I must speak Spanish. When my son was in high school he had to take Spanish, even though he already spoke a foreign language. Why should I have to change in my own country. I mean this from the bottom of my heart, you don't like it, then please feel free to leave.

Having been harassed before by the border patrol I am very against this law. I did not serve 23 years in the Air Force to prove my citizenship time after time based on my looks. The Republican party has lost me and as much as might disagree with the Democrats, they will get my vote this coming election.

Stop Socialist gangs pursue their fascist agenda, no joke or satire here, because there is an actual Nazi Socialist Movement (NSM), the NSM is a gang that dares to blend the red, white and blue of our bellowed American Flag with the Nazi swastika to identify themselves as the Nazi Socialist movement of USA, if you read all the anti-immigration misinformation posted in several blogs you can find the same neo-Nazi propaganda in the NSM website. The alarming fact is that the NSM gang is currently infiltrated in the Arizona’s Government and look for Senator Pierce Russell the Politian behind the defeated Arizona SB-1070 fascist law who was found associated with the NSM neo-Nazi gang leader J.T. Ready, please take a look of the breaking news at the Huffington Post. Moreover, take a look of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer political career, she is not an elected official she was appointed so she is using SB-1070 law as a Political tool for the next elections.

Stop Glenn Beck a radical radio and Fox News host, who is the mastermind behind malevolent propaganda used by the Tea Party. Glenn Beck, a personality media with a history of illicit drugs addiction, is being rewarded for his subversive political lampoon at the cost of the general welfare of all Americans as it is estimated that Beck is making 26 Million a year for his seditious fixation to the Tea Party. Beck was the first in suggesting phony Nazi and Communist references to demonize the current administration pursuing his own financial gain but now his tactics are backfiring at him because of the existence of a real Nazi Socialist Movement behind Arizona SB-1070 immigration law.
Don’t let the Nazi Socialist ideological establishments or seditious lampoons tear down our Constitution. God forbid the Nazi Socialist fanatics or those enriching themselves by spreading malicious misinformations are successful in sabotaging the immigration reform effort we will lose our prosperity by losing our values as Americans.

The whole immigration lampoon is smoke and mirrors tactics for the GOP, republicans are using the topic as a Trojan horse to take control of the senate and congress; wake up people if we ended up with a republican majority in congress say goodbye to the tax cuts the president promised for the middle class. Get your priorities straight when you vote next November, we need Tax Reform and representatives in favor of tax cuts for 95% of Americans.

Why are all you white liberals so concerned about the supply of illegals. Afraid of losing your slave labor, easy victims.

My family did not wait in line for over 10 years to get here legally for criminals to bring everything to the USA they were getting away from in Mexico.

All of the Mexicans I know are could care less about showing our ID. If the police pull you over you have to show your drivers license already. All of the police are Mexican where I live. How the hell are they going to racial profile latinos?

It will cost 285 billion of taxpayers' dollars to deport 12 million illegal immigrants at the federal level and the idea of each state picking up that cost is just ridiculous. The enforcement and deportation approach would have the cumulative effect of draining $2.5 trillion over 10 years from the U.S. economy. Legalization of undocumented immigrants, in contrast, would significantly expand the economy by a cumulative $1.5 trillion in gross domestic product over 10 years, through increased consumer spending, higher tax receipts, and other related factors. That is a $4 trillion swing in GDP depending on which policy approach we adopt please review report of the Center for American Progress: “The Costs of Mass Deportation”. At the end the right policy for immigration should be all about our economic recovery.

Arizona law is telling you nothing of the sort. You would not have any contact with a “cowboy sheriff” unless the police had a valid reason to stop you and your cousins in the first place. In that type of situation, police expect to see valid ID from people, (yes, even Caucasians!). I'm pretty sure most police would not question the citizenship status of people carrying a military ID. They would have to have suspicions strong enough to stand up in court to challenge your citizenship as well. Police are aware many groups are just looking for reasons to file counter-suits to reduce their powers of enforcement, and this law in particular has the ambulance chasers, (aka lawyers) lining up for a shot at big bucks in court settlements>

I have to get tickled. Either some of the Hispanics who voice to be “offended” to have to prove who they are are just shut ins or they haven't done anything as simply as get on an airplane recently, or got a speeding ticket, or a moving violation. Where do these people live? Under a rock?

OK for all you sheltered hispanics out there, here's how you buy a ticket and get on an airplane in America.

1. You buy your ticket and must register the tickets name in the name on your “GOVERNMENT ISSUED OFFICIAL IDENTIFICATION CARD.” Right off the git go, they want to know who you are are how they can track you if need be. Are you male/female? How old are you? Yeah, I realilze they have not asked you the HOT BUTTON GOD FORBID QUESTION OF THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN, but that will be verified when you get to the security desk AFTER your name is run through a security fly risk data bank. So now you have your ticket.

When you go to check your back, yep that nasty meddling baggage claim checker will offend you. Show me your GOVERNMENT ISSUED OFFICIAL ID. and the picture on it better match your mug or your outta here. No wise remarks about guns, knives, secruity or you won't be allowed to board and you could be arrested.

OK you have your bag checked and were only offended once when they asked to see your GOVERNMENT ISSUED OFFICIAL ID. Hopefully that didn't hurt too badly.

On to the security line – remember watch your remarks, you could be arrested for just joking around or insisting on a water bottle you brought alone, or for someone like a small pocket knife you forgot to take out of your purse. Take off your outer jacket, shoes, toss any liquids over 1 oz, it would be wise to take of jewlery and belts, take your computer out of it's bag and place it in a separate security tray.

Go through the security area as directed by the security guard. Woops you beeped. Sorry, now we have to call lin a personal screener who will pat you down, wand an electronic device to try to pin point the metallic object that set off the security scan. Don't complain or refuse, you can and will be arrested.

Whew, OK that's about it as long as you behave yourself in the terminal and board the plane without incident.

There you go, you just went through the process to get on an airplane for a 45 minute ride to go see Grandma. Are you offended? Are you going to sue? Did you complain?

Shame on you if you are a Hispanic and complain about having to show ID that indicates you are in thsi country legally. If another 9/11 happened and targeted a building specifically housed by Hispanics, you would be all over the county/state/and federal governments for not doing enough to keep you safe. Either you are an American or you are a misplaed Hispanic who likely would feel more comfortable in another country. Quit tearing this one apart.

Legally? You never answered my question.

Well said Maggie….

I have an economical idea. Everyone complains that it will cost billions to deport 12 million people, so let's do this the smart and also humane way. People supposedly come here for a better life (a very romantic way of saying to steal someone elses identity, birth a couple of citizens and take an American's job, but whatever). So lets pay the to leave. Give each illegal $100,000.00 to leave (and they pay their own way home.) We set up special schedules with airlines, they have a spcific coupon to enter so they don't have to have a driver's license) and they are inserted with a chip. If they ever enter the US again illegally, instant prison time of 5 years, no court date, no lawyers, just straight to detention and then to prison. We would save millions, the illegals would have ultimately the only thing they came for anyway which is money, they get to go back to the country they do love (which is not America) and live well off American money, which they would have anyway but at least they are no longer in the country.

Legally? I'll let you ask my grandfather who fought in World War II so that you can run your mouth how legal he is.
