With the Statue of Liberty behind them, a coalition of immigrant groups and their supporters march in the hundreds across the Brooklyn Bridge, Thursday July 29, 2010, in New York. Protesters are calling for the full repeal of Arizona's immigration law, saying it fuels a climate of racism. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)

San Diego resident Martin Eder works on a hand-made sign Thursday as demonstrators gather across the street from the offices of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. "I drove all night to get here," he said, part of a caravan of cars with foes of Arizona's new law targeting illegal immigrants.

They have time to march and protest so it does raise the question of how they support their families, pay bills etc.
As for the Mexican chick working in Phoenix on a legal visa - she might find herself pounding the pavement once her identity is reported to her employer.
Wonder how many patriotic employers will tolerate such a blatant 'flip off' anymore. I bet she IS replaceable with a US citizen.[smile]

"Even those with papers, we don't go out at night at certain times there's so much fear (of police). You can't just sit back and relax."
My response to this rediculous comment is IF you have your papers/are a citizen/ are here legally you have nothing to worry about....people are trying to make this into a personal attack.....this law isn't here to "scare" anyone, they are simply doing the job they should have done years ago....protecting those here legally. My family came here legally, worked hard to get where we are...... it's called the American dream.... feel free to experience it...legally.

Ah, the politics of hate, AZMomma. Does emulating the dishonest hate and fear mongering of Russell Pearce, Joe Arpaio and Jan Brewer enhance your self esteem, make you feel better about yourself. Why do I get the feeling that you're a very unhappy person, unhappy about your own station in life and your relationships with others?

Dinosr, (new screen name)
"Dirty mouth"? In what way? Do YOU believe AzMomma is a happy person? Is one who casts imagined negative aspersions to presumptuously demonize hundreds of people expressing a common cause a happy secure person? ("THEY have time to march and protest so it does raise the question of how they support their families, pay bills etc.") They this, and they that.
With great judgmental contempt, AzMomma even expresses her intolerance for a non-public stranger with a valid work visa whose inoffensive concerns were quoted in this article.
("As for the Mexican chick working in Phoenix on a legal visa - she might find herself pounding the pavement once her identity is reported to her employer.
Wonder how many patriotic employers will tolerate such a blatant 'flip off' anymore. I bet she IS replaceable with a US citizen.")
THAT is the politics of hate which AzMomma finds comfort in expressing as a substitute for her own low opinion of herself.
And in defense of AzMomma, you too buy into the culture of hate, with your absurd personalized mischaracterizations: "(they) expect us to feed them and pay for the towel to dry their backs." Good lord!
Also (to me): "Take your Mex flag and go home." Got a good laugh out of that one. Been to Mexico twice in my life, total time spent in Mexico, about three hours.
You and AzMomma have a lot to learn about self-serving politicians who fill your heads with lies.
