SB 1070 thoughts

Okay so people are getting up in a tizzy about the Arizona law sb 1070.
They say such things as…

“oh this will lead to profiling”
“oh no it’s discriminatory.”
“ what about these people’s constitutional rights?”

Here’s the thing, first of all I do want to apologize if you are profiled. BUT I remember one time I was “pulled over” by a police officer because I was a young guy who was dropped off by my mother to go to work at Burger King. He stopped me because he thought I might be a runaway because of my age… isn’t that profiling? I was stopped because of my age! He said so himself. But I recognized, even then, that what he was doing was important!
He was trying to serve and protect. What if I really was a runaway? What might have happened to me? Or to others around me?
This is the same thing. Only instead of age discrimination it would be “racial profiling”. If it serves the public by protecting them or even makes the citizens of this country a little safer isn’t that a good thing?

As to the second point there are two issues there.

ONE These are illegal aliens we are dealing with. NOT citizens of the United States. And last I checked the Constitution only applies to citizens of the United States. (remember? This is a government Of the people by the people and for the people?) if it is our government then it is here to serve US not everyone else. By the way for the record I am consistent on this and I do not expect my constitutional freedoms when I am in another country, they have not ascribed to the U.S. Constitution so I do not expect them to do the things promised me in there. Although I do expect them to honor their treaties and agreements they made with my country. That is why when I go to other countries I first make sure they are on good terms with the U.S. and that there is some form of promise from those countries to mine that I will be treated well.


TWO: as I recall there are three human rights that are so basic that they are called inalienable. Those three rights, in order of importance, are…
“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Now in the past few months there have been several incidents along the Mexican American border. And due to some of those events Actual honest to goodness citizens of the United States of America have lost their lives their liberties and been denied their chances at happiness. So these illegal aliens are denying us the rights promised to us at the same time they are demanding those rights for themselves even though they are not citizens and these promises made to the citizens of America not them!

I think Arizona is RIGHT to have pushed this law and I think that if the federal government would have done it’s job in the first place to enforce the laws in question then we would not now be in this screw up.

If the federal government is unable or unwilling to provide the promise made then it is up to the states to do it.
