Robert Sarver owner of the Phoenix Suns suggested the team wear their Noche Latina alternates for their game today against San Antonio. He stated that frustration with the federal government's failure to deal with the illegal immigration issue led to the passage of what he called "a flawed state law." He went on to say: "However intended, the result of passing the law is that our basic principles of equal rights and protection under the law are being called into question," he said, "and Arizona's already struggling economy will suffer even further setbacks at a time when the state can ill-afford them."
I think the very first thing that we must remember here is that this law is to target “ILLEGAL” aliens – meaning people that broke into our Country without authorization.
That means that they did not come into this country legally, they used illegal means to gain entry. Illegal - prohibited by law or by official or accepted rules; not according to or authorized by law; unlawful. So we have a law that they are supposed to follow and people are actually arguing that these people have rights – Sarver's comments above even go as far as saying they are protected by equal rights under the law. How stupid can that be. The equal rights he is referring to are equal rights that are afforded to AMERICAN CITIZENS. An alien who is present in a country (which is foreign to him/her) unlawfully or without the country's authorization is known as an illegal alien of that country. An illegal alien commonly refers to a foreign national who resides in another country unlawfully, either by entering that country at a place other than a designated port-of-entry or as result of the expiration of a non-immigrant visa.
Also, Sarver is disrespectful to Latin Americans by wearing a Jersey that is not Latin. He is using a jersey that says “Los Suns”, if he wanted to truly respect them he would make the phrase correct “Los Sōlis”. I am guessing that he only wants to half respect them.
Did you know not long after a Collier County Sheriff’s Office program in Arizona to deport troublesome illegal aliens concluded back in December that Mauricio Escalante, 33, an Immokalee farm worker, and illegal alien stabbed a teenage farm worker, Charlie Guzman, to death for speaking English instead of Spanish. There are hardships to be borne by turning a blind eye toward illegal immigrants among us. Ask the family of Charlie Guzman. Not all illegal immigrants are bad, but statistics point to many among them that are.
Many countries around the world have tough immigration laws and high punishments for those that enter their country illegally. Last year Italy made their laws tougher on illegal immigrants and impose a $14,000 fine on each individual and they can also hold them in a jail for up to 6 months before deporting them. Some places in Latin America will throw you in a dirt floor cell and may even forget you are there for quite some time. In Mexico, the one country that is pleading with the US to back off on illegal immigrants, they have some of the toughest illegal immigrant laws: A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally." (Article 123). A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127). Also if you are a Mexican and help illegals gain entry into Mexico, you commit a felony. The EU Union countries can hold you in a cell for up to 18 months before deporting you.
The law in Arizona is one the people of the state support with a wide majority. Over 70% of people in the state support the law. 65% of Americans support the law. It is not racial profiling, it is not racist. If you are in this country illegally you are committing a crime. Should we start ignoring all the rest of our laws also, murders you can go free about your business, drug dealers – go ahead and go about your business as well, anyone want to go rob a few stores – no problem let’s all support them. Many people who support illegal aliens do so because they are cheap labor, they can pay them under the table and can pay them less than minimum wages. These people are the ones who are really insulting them and these people are also breaking the law. The federal government needs to take action and start enforcing the law. This is not a racist issue like so many people are making it to be. Are many of these people another nationality – you can bet the bank that they are, but ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS are from foreign countries, they are all foreign nationalities. There is now estimated up to 12 million illegal aliens in this country, about 95% of them are employed getting paid substandard wages for jobs that American Citizens should have.
So if you believe that illegal aliens have full rights of American Citizens and you support them being here you should be supporting every single person in the US that breaks any laws, if not you are a hypocrite to your beliefs. If one group of people is allowed to break our laws and they are not even citizens of our country, then shouldn’t we grant this same right to our own citizens? Become a land of no laws, total mayhem, pillage, steal, rape, kill and do as you please because that is exactly what you are promoting – breaking the law is ok. Now I don’t believe in treating illegal aliens with disrespect, we should make sure they are treated with respect and made to understand that we have rules for entering our country. They need to abide by those rules, just like all the people who emigrate here legally every year. Let’s find a middle ground and enforce the laws we make that are fair for entering into this country. – my explosion of thought!
