Illegal Immigrants
Thursday, November 20th, 2003I know we have a government here in Arizona. Usually, I like what they’re doing. But we have a big issue with illegal immigrants getting jobs that they shouldn’t be allowed to get. And even though it’s against the law to hire them, people still do it and the government isn’t helping. Too many illegal immigrants hanging out on well known “pick up strips”? No problem! We’ll just create a job center for them to sit in. And no one seems to think that this is promoting the problem of illegal immigrants. Even the lovely Tribune is writing about this fiasco that we call enforcement.
Somehow, I thought that with the Wal-mart bust last month, we’d have gotten tougher, not weaker. Sure, terrorists are a problem in this world. I’m all for the police force being used to help curb the threat, but I want the police force to also be there for other things. This is a huge issue for Arizona. By our government’s inaction, we are harming ourselves economically. Sometimes, the bottom line should not be profit. Sometimes, it should be the uplifting of our citizens.
