Immigration, Will Ohio be taking Arizon's stance?

They've got to be kidding this is Ohio! Also this is essentially, racial profiling.http://www.whiotv.com/news/23306183/detail.html

I didn't know Ohio had a problem with all those pesky illegal Canadian immigrants

Texas will probably try out Arizona's new law next *sigh*

I don't really understand Arizona's new law... I can't prove I'm not an illegal immigrant. I don't carry proof of citizenship with me... and I don't carry immigration papers with me since I'm not an immigrant... and where would they send me back to??? My grandparents came from three different countries.

Hi,

I would of thought that the Native Americans had the best case for immigration control.

My Grandfather was a full blooded Indian. My mother is half,my Father also has about one quarter Indian. So I got enough mixed mutt to look either way. If they were to Catch me in the summer with my brown eyes and skin and they just might try to send me somewhere. Or give me one heck of a fun time. ( waste my time) Utterly ridiculous!

Well Ohio actually does have a decently large illegal immigration problem, especially in agricultural counties. If you remove yourself from the big cities it has put a large strain on our educational system (our taxes paying for illegal migrant children to receive an education system) and on our work force. Most of the illegals are working for mega farms and agricultural production plants and being mass housed in small towns which is creating a rise in crime. Trust me I am from one of the smaller agricultural burgs where this is a problem.

The Arizona law does have to do with racial profiling and even as a Conservative I am against the premise of the searches (violation of 4th and 14th Amendment rights). However, they are actually going to enforce illegal immigration laws that our Federal Government is ignoring. I feel they are basically just taking action into their own hands and forcing the Federal Government to actually step up to the plate and face a problem they have been ignoring.

Guess what the law is actually looking like it is going to work in Arizona as many illegal immigrants (I don't understand how they weren't arrested after being named by journalists) in Arizona are leaving the state for California and New Mexico.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have to at least consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

I'm from Ohio. Don't forget, we keep electing John Boehner, so anything is possible.

(very long sigh...)

lol John... you made me think about Jon Stewart's observation regarding Thanksgiving. He said...

I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.

Our hospital costs and school taxes in Texas are terribly high in order to cover those who don't pay. I can't afford health insurance or ER care because I'm paying for everyone else, which upsets me if I think about it... but when I'm not thinking about it, I love our neighbors to the South and I don't much care if they're legal or not... which is probably wrong but...

The farmers who employ these migrants do so, because they can hire a migrant worker at half ( or below) what would be paid to a non migrant worker. They aren't willing to shell out the dough to pay a decent wage that would entice a non migrant( the average person isn't lining up for these jobs) worker and until they do, those migrants will fill those spots. They have to eat and live too. I live about 45 min to an hr away from farm country as well, and so far "here" it isn't a problem that I have seen.
