“Paco,” your mangled grammar would give you away as an impostor even if your attitude didn’t. Where my folks come from, a “cuca” is a cockroach, by the way.

Immigration law is indeed a federal matter. The problem is not that the feds are “refusing to enforce the law,” it’s that the law is a mare’s nest. Fibber McGee and Kafka could have invented it. Patchworking local “solutions” onto this mess will make it worse, not better. It needs to get cleaned up and made consistent, just, and reasonable. Right now it is none of these things.

One day politicians are going to wake up and realize that pandering on the immigration issue is a really, really bad idea. Not only is it divisive, but it will lose them votes in the long run, as they turn away progressive voters and an up-and-coming generation of latino and minority voters who are changing the face of our nation.

We need to focus on initiatives that bring us together as a people, not ones that are overly punative and fail to address the complex problems with our current immigration system.

With South Carolina’s history of racial hatred, do we really want to go there again? South Carolina is a state in need of racial healing. These new laws simply feed on the ignorance of bottom feeders looking for a way to legitimitize their own hate. If someone on the state level truly wanted to improve the lot of working people, they would raise the state minimum wage and strengthen rights of working people at their places of employment. Or is that too radical for South Carolina?

The same results that Alex has mentioned about South Carolina have been determined to be accurate nationwide, as well. Zeezil,, apparently, does not understand our Constitution nor does he agree with recent Supreme Court decisions. Lots of fear, too. Never heard that I might die if nothing was done. Then he adds the lies. No, Zeezil, immigrants are not eligible for public benefits. And they are learning English.. But people like Zeezil are not known for letting the facts get in the way. That is a nice way of saying he’s full of crap.

Oh look. It’s the ALIPAC crew with their cut and paste.

It’s great how the anti’s think the same government they can’t trust to ‘enforce’ immigration laws is going to have some magical ability to get a database up and running correctly. I’m sure these guys don’t care if a few innocents get put in the bunch because it’s better to arrest everyone – you know you’ll get at least a few guilty ones.

Why look at the real issue when you can just pass laws and point fingers? These ‘tough’ laws might give the anti’s warm fuzzy feelings, but they will add up to nothing but disaster.

Hey Zeezil – do you write anything original. You posted the same comment on my blog. Of course, I’m not surprised.

I guess people have never heard of the Supremacy Clause:

This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

What part of FEDERAL do you people not understand?

Zeezil:
Could you please provide documentation for you stat of 50,000 people killed? More LIES to support you position? You know as well as I do that the State GOP does this to pander to the least common denominator. None of this will matter when Immigration Reform is passed in the next 2 years. What happened to the presidential candidates that were “tough” on immigration? Oh thats right, they dropped out of the race! Americans are not xenophobes like all of you ALIPAC’ers. The sooner you realize this the better off you’ll be.

Brittanicus:
Nice copy and paste. I enjoyed it on the 1000 articles that you posted it before this one!
