I find it a joke that people call that law racist. Puleeeze. It's just a fact that the majority of illegal immigrants that are in Arizona are Hispanic. Duh. I don't see the Canadians sneaking down there for work.
I'm okay with the law. However, as a country, we need to figure out how to keep some of these people (off the public dime). I realize that they're a huge burden, but do you know what would happen to our economy if we didn't have that cheap labor? Businesses that rely on it would collapse (there go all the carwashes), the agriculture industry would go ass up (and/or prices would skyrocket) and we'd all have to pay Merry Maid to do a shitty job cleaning our houses.
There's been some talk about a pathway to citizenship...let some of the employed, tax paying illegals gain citizenship (without that pesky minimum wage) and get rid of all the rest. Or take all the American citizens that are currently receiving welfare and put them in the fields to pick the damn strawberries. Something.
