My Thoughts on Arizona’s New Immigration Law
24 May
Since I moved to California I have learned a lot more about the Mexican people. How hard they work and how family oriented they are. My love for them has grown and I can understand why people would want to protest this new immigration law.
Imagining their position, living in Mexico where I have heard of a lot of poverty, corrupt government and in some places – really hard living circumstances. If you were in that position – wouldn’t you want a safe place to run to? Wouldn’t you want to provide for your family at any cost? So you can imagine, that with this new law – Arizona is putting bars up, making it more dangerous to cross the border.
The question to ask ourselves here – is why would they do this? Possible answers that come to mind are:
- To make it harder for drug lords to illegally smuggle dangerous drugs to and from Mexico.
- Save taxpayers money from illegal immigrants being placed on Medicare, welfare, food stamps
- Provide more opportunity for poverty stricken (legal) Americans to more likely have a job available for them to help get them off of Welfare
That’s about all for now that comes to mind. The feeling I get and understand from an American point of view, who pays tax dollars, is that it’s nothing against Mexicans as a People. It’s about the fact that America is experiencing a recession. Our money is far beyond limited, crime is unstable and it’s more about saving money at all costs and preventing crime from rising – due to drug smuggling.
If it were possible, I’m sure all borders would be more flexible for passage if it weren’t for the scare of taxes to help support illegal immigrant families and dangerous drugs from being smuggled.
Mexico – we love you. Please don’t be mad. I hope one day we can produce a more friendly border. I’m sure with time and patience, and lots of hope and positive energy put out into the air – we’ll produce that result. Until then, we’re only moving backwards by boycotting and protesting. Let’s give a little more love and understanding, shall we?
