Arizona Boycott

I live in Arizona. I have for 25 years. It's a beautiful state, it's got great views and while the weather's not so great during the summer, it's absolutely gorgeous from late November to early June. But I'm not blogging about the beauty of Arizona's landscape or the lovely temperatures. I'm blogging about the boycott. Which, in my own humble little opinion is purely bizarre and nonsensical.



The above photo is what is left behind when human smugglers bring illegal Mexicans into our country south of Tucson. This wash leads straight into Tucson and is approximately 1.5 miles long. There is an estimated 5,000 discarded backpacks as well as human feces (including thousands of soiled baby diapers), clothing, water bottles, food wrappers, and much more putrid garbage.

Arizona is one giant landfill for illegals to dump in. Yet we are being ostracized like the Black-Plague for a simple law that was passed in order to regulate who lives in our country legally, and who should be removed for breaking that law.

Now, some would argue that the law breakers are being trapped, set up, profiled and continue to think that some kind of constitutional right is being violated. The right to privacy for one. Hello?! Are we reading the same constitution? Our laws, by-laws, rights, and liberties only apply to "persons born or naturalized in the United States...".

In Arizona, protesters gather with signs saying such thing as "BROWN IS NOT A CRIME". Nowhere in the bill does it say, "you will be deported for having brown skin". I mean, c'mon! My great grandparents emigrated from Russia and became naturalized citizens LEGALLY. I probably have relations in Ireland, Germany, and Russia. That doesn't mean I can work in the US illegally and send my paycheck to them. That doesn't mean I will pack 64 of them into a U-Haul, subject them to unforgiving desert conditions, and then hide them all in my 2 bedroom apartment until payment is made. That, my dear is called SMUGGLING! However, the Mexican Constitution CLEARLY STATES ::: and I quote :::"the right to assemble or associate peaceably for any lawful purpose cannot be restricted, HOWEVER, only CITIZENS of the Republic may do so to take part in the political affairs of the country." Now, why would only CITIZENS of Mexico be allowed to associate or assemble, but NON-CITIZENS of the United States are allowed to cry RIGHT'S VIOLATION at every turn in the road?

So, when a drop-house is found and 64 of your illegal family members are sent back to their countries, don't cry RACIST to me!

When your uncle's wife's mother's brother gets pulled over for an unsafe lane change, running a red light, not wearing a seat belt, a headlight out, or some other traffic VIOLATION, and he hands over an INTERNATIONAL driver's license and not a UNITED STATES one, and the officer asks if he is here legally, don't cry RACIAL PROFILING to me!

You would deport me in a heartbeat, why shouldn't the same be done to your illegals in our country?
