Maybe, just maybe, if Americans stopped buying so much Mexican dope then the country would stand a chance of developing more and with it the ability to create more jobs.

These bill make me sick to my stomach. I am having flashbacks to the prejudice the blacks had to overcome and here it comes again except pointed at brown people.

I'm waiting for misegnation laws and retroactive cancellation of amendment XIV, clause 1.

Fine. BUT DAMNED IF I PICK YOUR FUCKING CABBAGE.

You'll fight for the right to pick cabbage, and like it.

That may e accurate enough to be frightening.

There's also the whole flooding Mexico with cheap US government subsidized corn thing, which put some 1.3 million Mexican farmers out of a job.

Guess where they went to find more work?

Yes, Trip.  And I'm sure you can realize it's the slippery slope of this law that's actually what galls and angers. 

What slippery slope?  This is 169% pure Jim Crow.


Slipping back INTO the Jim Crow era.  At state level, true, but how many states are eyeing this with a view to emulation now?  Too many.  It won't reach Federal level, and CA will be at the forefront to stopping it (hopefully, though our fucking Prop 8 law belies that, unfortunately).

In fact, I think it started, this fucking pendulum swing, with Prop 8 (fuck you UT-based Mormons and your $30m you infused into that campaign).

But this particular anti-immigrant shit always happens when the economy worsens.  It's just, this time, the fucking states are bankrupt all over the place, but instead of R&D investments to enrich their educational capital that leads to eventual rises in income ALL AROUND, they've taken the low road.

I spit.

in fact, i was told when i came to AMURRRIKAH that you are required by law to carry a state id at all times anyways

so the bill doesn't really change anything

This is patently false.  I'm not saying no one ever told you that, but it has never been legally required to carry a state ID.  Not the least because there are no state IDs (some states are considering it, but AFAIK none of them have passed it yet.  Could be wrong though.)  What I think you're referring to is what is called a "driver's license," which is a state-issued certificate that allows you to operate a lethal weapon (motor vehicle) on public roads.  I'm pretty sure people with temp visas can get driver's licenses, which means that they are in no way a proof of citizenship.

but alas, this fact will be ignored by the masses, the CNNazis will continue their hateful tirade filled with conjecture, ignorance, and opinion, people will take it as fact, a conspiracy theory will be formulated, and AZ will ignore it all as we sit in our desolate hell of a state sipping on muddy water willed with e-coli and the tears of the desperate, and slowly dry-rot into the ground as the lizards feast on what was once a state that was filled with people who attempted to hope and in turn received no answer to their wanting beyond death...

So now they get both death and deportation?

Yes there are. I have one in my wallet right now.

I think Satzanfang meant ID you're required to carry. You can get a regular state ID but it's not required.

There are most definitely state IDs, and I don't mean driver's licenses. But, citizens are not required to carry them ever (and you're not issued one unless you ask, and I think pay a fee). It's not a bad idea to have it on you, but it's far from required.

Jasper

That was my impression as well, based on the research of some people I once went protesting with.  You're allowed to go about your business with no ID.  While wearing a mask, even.

A quick question for all of you US citizens:

How many of you carry your birth certificate (in combination with your State ID) or your passport everywhere you go?

Yeah, I leave that shit safely filed at home, personally. Maybe I should start carrying it in my purse along with my Social Security card, amirite?

What your forgetting is that all Latin Americans are immigrates. It's impossible for any of them to be born in the US.
Impossible.
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.
