    It has always been about Mexicans; MEXICANS. Sure, they’ll throw in the word “Hispanic” and even Latino on occasion, but what the immigrant-bashers are really talking about is MEXICANS. QUE VIVA MEXICO!

    Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “undocumented pharmacist.” This article (opinion piece) is yet another politically motivated, completely biased article on Diverse Education. Here’s the thing, legal citizens belonging to both political parties have voiced their stance on illegal immigration and it’s clear that we want them to go home. If the federal government won’t keep illegal immigrants from crossing the Southern border or detain them once they are identified then local and state governments can and should take away all incentives for illegal aliens to stay here.

    I read an article from a paper in Tucson that covered a delegation from Norther Mexico who attempted to sway Arizona lawmakers to drop it’s law that gives the state the option of revoking the business license of businesses that knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Mexicans who could no longer find work in Mexico were returning home because they couldn’t find work in Arizona. The representatives from Mexico insisted that the state of Arizona drop the law, give them money to support the repatriated Mexicans or, preferably, give them money and welcome back the illegal aliens. Not only is Arizona’s law working, but we can see just how much the illegal immigrants are despised in their home country.

    This article is damaging to the U.S. citizen, is propaganda, and does not reflect the best ideals of American institutions. Just grabage!
