Illegal immigrants plan to leave over Ariz. law

Wow. It’s so rare to meet a person, especially here, who thinks that the federal government is their friend. So, you really like all that government in your life? Does it make your life easy and better just to do what you are told? Do you wear a lot of wool?

I’m certainly glad that I’m not like that, along with millions and millions of other Americans who think that much of what the federal government does is wrong, because it is not allowed to do it, but does it anyway.

But it does may me ask if you think that you are in the right place, or even the right country.

I used to live in San Diego county and real, real close to the border- I had replica FBI and Border Patrol caps that I bought when I purchased some for my family as gag gifts.. Well, Home Depot in that town was quite active with stand arounds and it happened to be right in the same parking lot of a bank I used..

I’d pull in and they’d make eye contact with me as I pulled into the lot to see if I needed some workers but when they saw the cap I was wearing, boy the did scurry...

Only wore it to that parking lot and then put another cap on when I got out of the car..Never spoke to any of them- But that first look on the faces when they saw even the replica cap- oh, was that a little guilty pleasure..

"This law is very bad for us," says Sanchez, who gets about $250 a week cleaning three houses.

Let's say that it takes 8 hours (a full day) to clean each house. (It doesn't... unless the house is a 3,500 sf mansion.) That's $10.42 an hour. There are *many* American housewives , college students, highschool students, etc who'd happily work for that wage.

Analysts say it's too soon to tell what lasting effects the law will have on the state's underground work force, which also includes baby sitters, maids and cooks.

Why aren't our *kids* doing these jobs? Why aren't our teens and early 20-somethings standing on the street corners waiting for construction work? Why aren't our girls cleaning houses and babysitting? They'd happily work for $10 an hour under the table. They'd also get valuable work experience and reinforce their developing work ethics.

Jobs American's won't do? My hiney.

My aunt quit her job as a prison guard and now makes *more* money cleaning houses and doing odd jobs. (with much less stress)

We don't NEED illegal immigrants.

Arizona's sweeping immigration bill allows police to arrest illegal immigrant day laborers seeking work on the street or anyone trying to hire them.

Natalia Garcia, 35, from Mexico City, says she and her husband - a day laborer - will stay so their daughters - both born in the U.S. - can get a good education and learn English. The couple have been living in Arizona illegally for the last 10 years. "Mexico doesn't have a lot of opportunities," she says. "Here, we work honestly, and we have a better life." Olga Sanchez, 32, from southern Mexico, lives in Phoenix illegally with her two brothers, who are 21 and 17. While the youngest boy is in high school, all three work and send money back home to their parents.

Here is the problem - they are not paying taxes, they are taking jobs away from American citizens, and they are availing themselves to FREE education, health care, in state utition, welfare payments, food stamps, WIC, drivers licenses, and who knows what else.

On top of that, along with the hard workers, comes a lot (A LOT) of crime: drunken driving arrests, murders, robberies, rapes, and drug dealing.

She says the family is going to wait and see if the law takes effect and what the fallout will be before deciding whether to leave. The law is certain to be challenged in court; Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff already are considering lawsuits. "All I ask from God is a miracle for us to stay here and work," she says.

God loves each of us. The earth, and everything in it, belong to Him. This is a fact. We need to love others as God loves us.

Each nation, however, is also given by God a right to exist, as individuals are given liberty and life by God Himself, not governments. The Bible talks about nations, as well as individuals.

Illegals have invaded our nation when they were not invited to do so. They have broken our laws, spat on our sovereignty, and taken services that they have neither paid for, nor deserve.

Enough is enough.

I hope that states like Utah and Texas (were the illegals mentioned in this article said they were going to go) are prepared to take up similar legislation as Arizona. If not, good luck with that! You all will become the safe havens for these illegals in a matter of weeks.
