Do you know what an illegal immigrant look like?
While you guys in the Philippines are busy with so many conspiracy theories about the new hocos PCOS, the Hyatt 10 vs. Kamag-anak, Inc., the Quezon Gov. helicopter crash and the Mar/Binay he-did-it-no-he-didn’t; back here in the United States, all eyes are on Arizona.
The Arizona Immigration Bill was passed to curb not only illegal immigration but also related crimes. That was the intent. From one article I read, the passing of SB1070 bill comes in the wake of the murder of a local rancher Robert Krentz. It is alleged that Krentz, 58, was killed after a confrontation with illegal immigrants in a potential drug case, theft or retaliation.
So, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed the controversial Arizona immigration bill into law. President Obama criticized this bill as a “misguided” attempt to control the state’s illegal immigration problem.
So what is in this new law that infuriates a lot of people?
The new law requires that all immigrants must carry their alien registration documents at all times and police must question anyone that they have a “reasonable suspicion” of being in the United States illegally. The law also targets those who hire illegal immigrants and/or knowingly transport them.
If you want to memorize the new law, here is a copy.
Now, much of the criticism and all the debate going around, centers around police questioning anyone they have a reasonable suspicion. What’s the worry? Racial profiling. So, at issue is – what constitutes reasonable suspicion then?
Son of talbos nang kamote, oo!
During the signing, Governor Jan Brewer says: “We must enforce the law evenly, and without regard to skin color, accent, or social status,” she said. “We must prove the alarmists and the cynics wrong.”
Yeah, but there is a problem: Do you know what an illegal immigrant look like?
If Arizona becomes successful in curbing illegal immigration in the state and controlling related crime, it will come at the expense of other states with no similar immigration law. Why? Illegal immigrants will simply skip the state.
I believe this is a federal issue and not a state.

I really thought that the Filipino nation has matured enough to accept defeat graciously. My feelings about the matter is that it takes one to know one in the sense that if these people thinks others have cheated SUCCESSFULLY then they must have failed in their own attempt.
dearies just LET IT BE and LET IT GO …..

I’m a newbie here and I don’t understand the relevance of the above comments, sorry.
