here's a few of our anti-illegal alien laws. this includes english as our official language which includes all schools must teach in english only; aliens arrested cannot receive bail; illegals cannot obtain any public services; and the like.
This is a rich vs. poor problem that you support.

It's very sad. Like you stated before, they may move to another state where laws aren't as harsh (or maybe more crops to tend than in AZ), but what in reality may happen is that a sub-race is being created. One that is not equal to its citizens, considered to be of lesser value. That somehow does not seem to be what the US is about. Or is it?

I agree with this... cool cartoon.
A immigrant once said, "you call me an immigrant? Do you pay taxes? If you do, then you are also an immigrant. The only natives around here don't pay taxes!"0 -

I understand your frustration about having to deal with this problem, but I think you are trying to treat the symptoms and not the cause of the problem. The US is a major cause of the immigration problem, by pushing for economic superiority, and keeping a growing economy, in created the voids that need to be filled.
I think you are not 100% correct with the unemployment issue. And I believe that the illegal immigrant labor pays back more than you think, via economic viability of the industries they serve, for part of their share in infrastructure and services. If you look at pro-immigration data, they point a whole different picture. I'm not saying their right, but it is not a drain as the anti-immigration sites tend to report.
i see your point but i have a problem with data. nevada did a big study in a pro-immigration state of mind. by the results of this "study" you would think that we should open the borders and roll out red carpets. but at the conference; things took a turn when i questioned why the study didn't address displaced workers; or why the fact that these immigrant workers were below poverty level and thus receiving state aid and medicaid. the study showed these people paying taxes; but i pointed out that a worker receiving $200/week is only paying $500/year in taxes while the public services they receive is costing the state thousands per person.
so you need to look at all the facts. studies don't do that because they have a "desired" conclusion in mind.0 -

Someone making $200 a week isn't receiving any financial aid, liar.

AZ is a big food producer. we're not all desert. the sub-race is already created. the taxpayers got tired of having to work for money to support their families; only to have it taken away to support someone elses. when the propositions came out; the work was done and the numbers published. i don't remember the exact numbers but the cost of these illegals is unbelievable. it included the cost of law enforcement to arrest and investigate crimes by illegals; costs to the courts to prosecute; uninsured illegals driving; medical services provided and never paid for; and the list goes on and on.0 -

The only problem I have with your arguements... they come from you.
It's tough for me to take anything you say seriously... based upon you track record.
Let's see... you became 'invisible' when you assumed the identity of a dead person... you killed two people... you were a former Rock Star who had a near death experience and came back from the dead as an example of a medical miracle... you haven't paid taxes... served a public office... was a successful lawyer who never lost a case.... retired a millionaire at age 40... run a steroid free buffalo ranch... with lots of guns... gave water from Lourdes to your mom, your sister and a perfect stranger and their cancer miraculously disappeared...
Well, you see where am getting? Kinda far fetched... or pretty amazing... for one life... that isn't even complete. You need to write an autobiography... except, we wouldn't know how to classify it... fiction or non-fiction.
...
You want to validate your arguements... send us to the website of these Public Hearings on immigration... give us the link to this Nevada Study as a reference... let us read and decipher the data and data analysis for ourselves so we can reach our own conclusions. Otherwise, it's Walter Mitty's version of how Immigration works.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!

Hey... I'm not the one who makes up all of these claims... you are. There is nothing slanderous about reprating claims made by you. It's all very, very simple. If you tell the truth... you won't forget the lies you've told in the past.
And go ahead and 'Report' me... to your former buddies at the CIA... back when you were a counter/double agent for the KGB. They'll take care of my ass for you. (That last remark was a joke).Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!

clearly it is you making up the claims you have posted. the others on the board can follow without problem.0 -

But then you don't defend your lies.
A person making $200 a week does not collect finiancial aid. You're lying about that. Why are you lying?

No... it's you. I lack the imagination to make this stuff up.
I didn't tell anyone that I gave water from Lourdes to my mom and sister... whose cancer disappeared. I didn't tell anyone I held a public office.... or retired a millionaire at age 40... that was you.
I'm just a boring working stiff, Reg'lur Working Joe that is caught up in the machinery that is the Military/Industrial complex. I go to work... I go home... I watch T.V.... I feed my cats... I go to sleep. I admit it... I'm boring. I never killed anyone... never been dead and brought back to life... never held a false identity... never been a lawyer or a Rock Star... always paid my taxes. Just a boring, nobody that's lost in the crowd.
That's the truth... the truth is easy for me because I don't have to keep up on the lies I've told and have someone call 'Bullshit' on me. I'm too lazy to lie... the truth is for lazy people.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!
