This is highly illegal. <br />then you have the INS detention camps, some of which happen to be housed in Arizona. <br />Something about the drug cartel wars was just too convenient for my taste. And I am living witness to the fact that drug crimes are being committed openly by U.S. citizens yet nobody seems to care about those issues either.<br />Its all bullshit. I fully agree with Aimee. Arizona is an apartheid state.lindahttp://rebelpigs.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051719.post-13733443474618089952010-05-23T16:26:00.741-06:002010-05-23T16:26:00.741-06:00As the wife of a Mexican who was formerly an illeg...As the wife of a Mexican who was formerly an illegal Immigrant and the mother of brown, Spanish speaking children, and not to mention as an idealist who actualy believes in liberty and justice for ALL, I condemn the Arizona most strongly. In my mind, Arizona has become an apartheid state, and I wouldn't set footthere except for the fact that my frail elderly father lives there. My husband has already decided that should he be asked to "show his papers" he will truthfully state that he is a citizen and decline. In all probability that means he will be detained for a period of at least several days and possibly months. I support his decision although it would obviously represent a certain hardship to me. Personally I am shocked that freedom lovng, justice Lo ing Americans would allow people to be questioned arrested and imprisioned based on suspicion alone. I'm only 38 but I feel like qn old fogy saying "I don't even recognize this country."Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358194304460170717noreply@blogger.com
