Filipinos Against Arizona Immigration Law SB1070

[Fudpukker 18]

I don't think it is possible in today's post 911, to have open borders. However, I do think that anyone who is hard working and wants to make a better life for themselves should be given a reasonable chance to do so. What I find odd is that so many here are bringing over spouses (most often Filipinas) from a Third World country with relative ease and yet they are so opinionated against Mexicans coming here for a better life. Right now as it stands, if you are poor and from Mexico, there is no legal pathway to immigrate here, short of marrying a Kano. We've got plenty of Filipinas who sought out a Kano to specifically immigrate here for a better life. Most Pinays here share more in common with the Mexicans wanting to immigrate to the U.S. than with their own Kano husbands.

I guess I speak mostly for everyone here, I dont mind if Mexicans come here just as long as they come here LEGALLY just like how our Filipina wives are coming here LEGALLY

It doesn't matter a law is a law.

It's a good thing our Founding Fathers didn't feel that way or we'd still be subjects of the UK.

Thats your opinion.......................

Because laws are enacted through legislation, by elected politicians. And if you generally trust politicians to always create sound and just laws, I've got some prime real estate I'd like to sell you on the moon. The Arizona law (SB1070) has been argued by prominent legal scholars as being in violation of our beloved U.S. Constitution. We don't blindly follow laws simply because they are made into laws. We have it within our American spirit, the sense to look at the merits or laws that are created, as to whether they are just or not.

And yet you want us to blindly follow the "preeminent authority" clause that various Federal agencies interpret to use to steal power from the states. But then yes you "trust" the very same politicians who abuse this power despite telling us not to trust them. If the Federal government would do their job there would be no need for the State of Arizona to do this.

No our founding fathers had an issue with not being represented with laws concerning them

Seems to me that you live in Arizona, its probably time for you to move out of there and perhaps to Puerto Rico, Hawaii or Guam.

Really? Is this what everybody is going to argue about? This stupid law thats objectifying one minority that's not the only race who has ever came here illegally? This is such a BS topic. Everybody has their say in this one because they think their race is better, right? Of course its not targeted at asian people so they would never stop you in a mall in Arizona, I dont think its right for cops to stop me out of nowhere and ask for I.D. to prove something. I'm an american, a first generation hispanic american, and it's very insulting for the to do so. How dare everybody say that this law enforcement is necessary! I would never say this about another race, I wouldnt go "Hey, theres a pinoy, search him for papers!" or "Get the hell out of my country!". They deserve to work, they arent causing trouble, my mom mightve came here illegally, but she grew up in the states, went to school, worked and was treated like an american because she never got in trouble or wanted anything bad with anybody, now she's a citizen, like my dad and I'm proud for the product I am. I dont care what anybody will say to me after this post, my point of view has been cleared and Im happy with that. Oh, and way to go Arizona:thumbs: Because of this law, there will be a bunch more green card marriages thats going to make it harder for everybody else, way to go.

Well I also gave my point of view. I can be a fake person and lie about it or I can be a real person and tell the truth with my opinion. I hope NEVADA will follow suit with Arizona.

I hope California will too. Hahahaha.

I wish I could move

We all waited our turn in this process called legal immigration. If the floods gates are opened (no quotas) the next wave of illegal immigrants will demand the same process. What happens to all whom have processed papers the legal route and are still waiting the 10 year+ wait?

When given something that you obtained easily there is no value or respect, but when made to work hard for this same token it is appreciated..

Just remember "without rules there is chaos" go to the end of the line!

If you don't want to stop the illegal immigrants from getting in the at least stop giving them the house once they climb through the window.

ALL means tested benefits should require proof of legal presence.

ALL public schools should require proof of legal presence.

ALL employers should be required to E-Verify EVERY employee or face fines in the hundreds of thousands of dollars per incident.

It was only 40 years ago, that in many states, many Fil-Am couples (racially mixed couples) could not marry legally. And at the time, such laws that restricted racially mixed couples from marrying were popular. It wasn't until the Supreme Court ruled that such state laws were unconstitutional. So keep that in mind when you believe that all laws are good and never should be questioned or challenged. You owe it to yourself, especially being of Filipino decent, to know the history of race relations in this country. I'm willing to bet that you'd have a different outlook on Arizona's law, if your spouse happened to be pulled over while driving and was waiting for her Green Card in the mail. Without any proof that she is here legally, in Arizona she would be detained without bail until immigration would clear her name, which for anyone who has gone through USCIS knows, is not terribly expedient.

So let me ask this of you, do you believe it's OK to be here in the United States Illegaly ? if not then why is this a bad law ? it only mirrors federal law that is hardly enforced and creates an oppertunity to relieve border states that are forced to pay for legal consul and tax money for people that should't even be here because they choose to go against US law's
