as if allowing them to come here and take jobs that most american ADULTS may not have wanted to do, but now with the massive tuition hikes and cost of living up, that i could find you a teen practically anywhere willing to work for minimum wage. I am one of them. Its potentially going to cost me, in the end, 100,000 dollars to finish getting my college degree. ANYTHING in between now and the diploma that can earn me a salary is absolutely welcome.
But thats something that is beyond my reach currently. beyond the reach of MANY citizens that cant find work based on the fact that Illegals are causing incredible over-saturation of the Job market. No one said life would be easy, not in any way, but no one ever said that theyd STRIVE to make it harder just to allow some people to selectively break law because theyre afraid of being deemed racist. OH, and here in California now, we have the DREAM ACT. A bill that will take scholarship money from the CITIZENS and allow illegals to access it instead. It ALSO makes the citizen have a much harder time enrolling.
Not to mention that the MILLIONS that have illegally immigrated are causing the standard of living to take a hit. in many areas. Many illegals live in poverty,which means increased crime as well as overall standards of living going down, plus the families that have to completely lower their expectations to compete with illegal immigrants working for pennies, also lowering standards. And then theres the fact that many people cant find jobs, leaving THEM in poverty, which increases welfare rates and also lowers overall standard of living. All of this poverty and low wages tends to produce crime, and welfare costs, and general poor conditions.
I hope that Arizona wins this ridiculous, futile attempt to tell a state what they can and cant do regarding state policy on grounds that have ZERO foundation, like the argument the illegals throw. Some throw arguments about their anchor babies, some throw arguments about their rights (which they have no entitlement to anyways because they arent citizens), ect.
I hope that Arizona wins because it will show that we CAN win the fight against the immigration standards, and it might encourage more states to act justly. On this issue, im completely parted from the kumbaya democrats.
