Thank you Utah for supporting Arizona. I lived outside the Phoenix area for over 20 years. I relocated to another state about a year ago, however I still support them 100 % on their recent illegal immigration law. I am not a racist, nor have I ever been. I just simply believe that if you want to be part of this great nation you need to do so legally or you have broken the law. The negative impact that Arizona's economy feels, the crime, and decline in education is a direct result of the overwhelming amount of people crossing the border illegally. I think it is time that the newspapers and television news stations give equal time to those opposed to all the illegal immigration. Almost all the news stories that relate to the problem pertain to the rights of these individuals being compromised or taken away. First of all, if you didn't come here through the proper channels then you are a law breaker and crimminal. You are not a citizen and therefore, haven't earned any rights. Our tax money pays for all their children. Many of which are born out of wedlock. Then we pay for the housing of these children, medical, and provide them with free school breakfast and lunches. My daughter is now an adult in her mid 20's. There was a time in my life during which I was a single parent due to divorce. I did, have times when finances were really tight and I probably could have gotten Gov't assistance. However, there is a thing known as pride and taking care of your own. I cut corners, worked even harder at two jobs, and supported us. Evenutually through hard work and determination we did well. She went to college and has a decent job and is an independant adult. That is what we need to teach our children. Be good, law abiding and self sufficient. Unfortunately, that is not what these immigrants are teaching their children. They will not learn English, nor are they involved in their child's education encouraging them to do well and take pride in themselves and their accomplishments. There are immigrants from all over the world that come here. China, Russia, India, Eastern and Western Europe , Africa etc. All of those people encourage their children to learn English, excel and to success and be a part of the United States. Why are the illegal Mexicans different? Because of their heritage. They feel entitled to benefits they have not earned, contributed to and have no right to receive. I feel for the Citizens in Arizona because they are being portrayed as Nazi's and worse! This is terrible and so untrue. They are simply every day, average American people trying to protect themselves and have the laws that are already on the books in the federal goverment enforced. Their safety is at risk. A rancher who lived near the border was murdered a couple weeks ago by illegals crossing the border and his land. A deputy sherriff was shot just a few days ago by illegal drug dealers. The problem is escalating quickly. I absolutely hope that other states will follow in Arizona's footsteps and we will all be united in our quest to secure our borders, protect our citizens, enforce the laws that already exist, and help turn this economy around. I love this country. I believe it is a great nation. Yes, we do have some problems,..many problems. However, they can be resolved if the good people of this nation stand together. There are many elections coming up later this year. Make your voice heard. Vote!!! If our elected officials are ignoring what the people want and doing their own thing, then they need to be voted out. Thank you for reading this and allowing me to vent. Way to go Utah!
