    @ Nicholas
    We ARE AMERICA! What else do you WANT of them! Even our own president is against it. And be aware that this law is meant to target race, ethnicities, and Hispanics, especially! It concerns immigrants too!
    So why not minding your own business if you are mad from them condemning it. It's none of your concern if you don't mind immigrants.

    “We regret the racist and xenophobic nature of this law which goes against immigration in general and illegal immigrants in particular” said the declaration.“

    An interesting thought! ”Mexico, Ecuador, Uruguay, Panama, Bolivia, Guatemala, Cuba and Chile, plus Turkey, Senegal and the Micronesia federation“ are then in favour of illegal immigration? ”Even our own president is against it.” But Obama is a useless lame duck against whom more and more American people are turning.

    But illegal is illegal. If you are not legally in a country, you have no right to protest if you are ejected.

    I cannot believe my eyes of what I read. Now the Union of Communist Countries against the United States of America is upset. Well, too bad, all of you don't allow immigrants to live permanently in your countries. All of you requires prove of income before the give residence to any foreigner. As uruguayan I know, to get my American wife a uruguayan residence she has to prove source of income, minimum U$ 500.00 a month. It took 4 years and hundreds of dollars. It didn't matter that I'm a uruguayan citizen. Any US citizen can take his wife w/out the ordeal that we went thru. Latinamerican countries, keep your citizens at home and take care of them !!...Please, stop demanding that ILLEGALS HAVE RIGHTS!!

    Hernd3 idiot
    “We ARE AMERICA! What else do you WANT of them!”
    F##k you. The Americas is a continent (if you don't know this, you went to a government school like in Argentina..laugh) North, Central, Caribbean, South America, but The United States of America (location: North America) is a nation of laws and you aren't part of that nation, neither the illegal immigrants. The law here in Florida and many other states + Federal law are clear, Illegal immigration is a crime! Deport them. What the state of Arizona is doing is simple, they do the job of the Federal government. The DEMS & GOP, both are playing games with it. A law just like in many other nation in the Americas (yes, also in hypocrite and corrupt mexico ) and els where in the world. second, illegal aliens are unknown people who entered the nation without permission. Some with documents ( proves calling them Undocumented workers like in the Liberal Media is..bull!) and most without while have a government I-TIN number or a bogus social security number (what is the US government fault who allows this nonsense). They are unauthorized people, meaning Illegal immigrants or Illegal Aliens (strangers who we don't know). What else do I and many Americans what from them? Simple, go back home and if you they want to come here, they should come through the front door like many other LEGAL immigrants. Liberty is correct, keep your citizens at home and take care of them. How do you keep them home? Create more jobs, let the people create more jobs, by tax reform and other more common sense economic policies like in Brazil, Chile, Peru and Colombia. The Mexican government should be ashamed of itself, and why the Mexican government is pushing hard for legalizing and screaming for help from their bogus friends and Latin brothers is simple, they are scared to death for another major drop of remittances from their own people who work for cheap in the US. The DEMS want votes..the GOP wants cheap labor, that's the problem.
