AZ has another bill.Follow

I was referring to how long they'd been in the area, not how long they'd been technically occupying U.S. territory.

I'm sorry, I thought you said "Too often people emigrating recently [...] would rather force the culture that was so awesome that they left it on us"

Wait, that IS what you said. Huh.

Of course, even if the VP had just snuck across the border, stole some American's vice-principaling job with his counterfeit green card and set about ruining Cinco de Mayo for some poor white kids in a show of supreme culture hatin', the plural of anecdote still won't be data.

Dude, nerdin' is what I do. I ride nerd.

Also, and just a side note to the whole discussion: does anyone doubt that the kids who were sent home wore those particular shirts on that particular day in order to be deliberately provocative?

Yeah, me either.

I blame Taco Bell.

What part of the concept of free speech don't you get?


I think they made their point rather well in fact.

That political correctness has gone so far past the point of absurdity that anyone would consider someone displaying the US flag as "provocative".

If they were giving it that much thought then the public school systems must not be all that bad

A more likely scenario is that they were trying to "get a rise out of the local beaners"

Meh.

As to the bill mentioned in the OP, I don't really have a problem with it. Sure, it's creator pushed it through for no other reason than to get back at a Latino activist that made an ignorant comment, but since the programs in question all ready comply with the new law, I see no issue.

Now, you combine this with the the new "Show your papers" law & we certainly see a pattern emerging in AZ targeting Latinos. However, if the federal government had passed immigration reform (Obama, Dubya, or Clinton) AZ wouldn't have had to pass this law. And more over, if Americans didn't hire illegal workers, it also wouldn't have needed to be passed.

Honestly, with all the cries about "racial profiling" (Which I agree with to an extent. However, let's face it, many of the illegals in AZ are Latino), only the illegal immigrants have anything to worry about. Ya, the non illegals might get "carded", I can understand why they wouldn't want to be, & I can even understand their anger at some of the racist reasons for the law. But again, if they aren't illegal, they'll be ok.

If one weren't lactose intolerant one wouldn't have to kill all the cows.

Kavekk,



Ironic considering the "native americans" didn't have a concept of property until the white man showed up.



Next thing you know public administrators will be excluding white kids from field trips to hear rocket scientists speak.

Sad thing is if these white kids had burned the american flag they would have been protected by the liberals.
