In reply to Rixtaem:
The state of Arizona is taking a ton of heat for the anti-illegal immigration law that they just passed. Barack Obama is outraged and is directing his administration to look for ways to challenge the law. The government of Mexico has issued a travel advisory for the entire state of Arizona. Latino groups are promising unprecedented turnouts for the upcoming May Day protest marches. There has even been graffiti popping up in Phoenix that is threatening to "burn this racist city" among other things. But you know what? The state of Arizona got it exactly right. This is not about stopping legal immigrants who want to come in the "front door" and pursue the American Dream legally. America will always need that kind of immigration. No, this is about stopping the never-ending wave of serial criminals, gang members, drug dealers and economic parasites that have been endlessly parading unchecked into Arizona. If the federal government was not going to act, then the state of Arizona had to. Now other nearby states are studying Arizona's new law and are considering implementing similar measures themselves.

First of all, a majority of immigrants take jobs Americans would not readily take. The influx of immigrants has HELPED our economy.
Secondly, we don't speak "American" here, we speak English.
Arizona is not within its rights to resort to racial profiling, which is essentially what this is. Racial profiling is considered discrimination on the basis of physical appearance. Last time I checked, that was illegal.
Thirdly, you shouldn't be kicking anyone's ass. THAT is in direct violation of a few laws, my friend.
