Imigration

[IAN 2411]

Compiled from reports by Free Press news services:Gov. Jan Brewer ignored criticism from President Barack Obama on Friday and signed into law a bill supporters said would take handcuffs off police in dealing with illegal immigration in Arizona, the nation's busiest gateway for human and drug smuggling from Mexico.With hundreds of protesters outside the state Capitol shouting that the bill would lead to civil rights abuses, Brewer said critics were overreacting and that she wouldn't tolerate racial profiling.Earlier Friday, Obama called the Arizona bill misguided and instructed the Justice Department to examine it to see whether it's legal. He also said the federal government must enact immigration reform at the national level -- or leave the door open to "irresponsibility by others."The bill, sent to the Republican governor by the GOP-led Legislature, would make it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It also would require local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants.The bill is to take effect 90 days after the current legislative sessions end in the next several weeks.
[1]Is this a fair law?
[2]Does it promote a radical racial and ethinic profiling scare?
[3]Should the United States pursue stricter law enfocment against illegal aliens?
[4]Or should we grant amnesty to existing illegals?
[5]What are the imigration issues of other countires in the world?
[6]How do other countries handle imigration issues in comparison to the USA?
[7]What do you think about "Countries without borders"?

These and many questions came to mind, I am sure my fellow forum members will have more to contribute.

[1] Laws are only fair for the persons making them.
[2] It has in the UK
[3] Yes and so too should the UK
[4] No, in no circumstances should you show weakness
[5] The UK has 1 Million illegal immigrants and that just the ones we think are here.
[6] Our border agencies tried their best but they were messed with by the bungling Labour Government for the last 13 years.
[7] It was because of Countries without borders that we have so many over here. If it were not for the channel they would be living in my back garden waiting for a free hospital bed or a Labour run council, Free Council house.

What do you think about "Countries without borders"?
Never heard of it, but after a brief browse through Google I'd have to say it's a silly idea. Unless you can eliminate all racial, religious or regional strife, unless you can get everyone to speak the same language, it's just a pipe-dream. Borders are there for a reason, whether you like them or not.

There are no borders in Europe and it was for that reason all the immigrants camped at the channel ports trying to get to the UK. I still can’t figure out why, but maybe they like living in countries that are up to their necks in debt.
