Illegal Immigrants - It's Not A Race Issue

Arizona is tossing around a bill in their congress that would require police to determine whether people are here legally. Sounds like a good idea to me! Police are here to uphold the law right? And being in the USA illegally is well...breaking the law! Why would anyone disagree with the passing of this bill? So some people in Arizona say this bill is "mean-spirited" and "unconstitutionally authorizes discrimination." Really? So is it mean-spirited to arrest someone who robs a bank? After all, the poor guy just needed some money right? Ridiculous! And since when is it discrimination when someone is arrested for a crime? Last time I checked, we are all going to get arrested if we do a crime and get caught. Oh wait...get caught...is that what this is about? After all, illegal immigrants provide cheap labor. So let's see, while I'm paying the never-ending unemployment benefits Obama approved...illegal immigrants are working jobs that could be had by the unemployed Americans. Gee, that seems a bit "mean-spirited" to me! Arizona! Wake up and pass the bill! Give those jobs to Americans! Let the police check everyone's ID. Let the police arrest and deport illegal immigrants. State Senator Russell Pearce said it best, "Illegal is not a race, it's a crime."
