It’s very easy to get stopped by a cop if they want to – there’s tons of little things we do wrong – like jaywalking, maybe not stopping enough, speeding a little. Having to prove you’re legal every time is big discrimination; it’s like saying any Mexican is guilty until proven innocent. It smacks a lot of the discrimination Blacks had to deal with. It also places a big burden on the cops, everyone they meet could be one, and they could have to check them all. Don’t they have better things to do?

The definition is very vague too. Define suspected illegal immigrant? Mexican? How much of the legal Mexican population are you going to harass with this rule? Is it normal in the US to harass the legit people (I guess so, just look at the airport security)? All well for Don to say that, he isn’t going to be asked.

It’s kinda stupid, because next election the legal Mexican population is going to vote them out if they can.

It totally blames the immigrants for the problem, but the business that employs them are just as much part of the problem. How can you employ someone and not do a background check on them? You can’t tell a thief by what s/he looks, so you’re better to check. And while you’re at it, check that s/he’s legal, so you don’t end up losing your worker to the cops. If they started fines for companies that employed illegals, the problem would probably go away overnight. If they were enforced.

Thing is, companies don’t want to check the legality. They want workers they can abuse, pay little, threaten, and those workers won’t complain, because they are illegal. I also wonder just how much whities want to do some of the work they are doing… probably not much… so that is why you have non-whites doing them.

And I agree – the sooner the genes all mix up (hopefully with the best coming out), the sooner we can forget about all this bullshit and move to real issues, real problems.

Also look at http://www.redroom.com/blog/tim-wise , he has some good articles.

We stayed at a Best Western in Keene. All the maids were plain old white folks. This is the first hotel in years that I’ve been to where the cleaning crew wasn’t Latino.

Thought you might appreciate that, being gone from there a long time, too.

no tienes? lo ciento, señor.
