I don’t know why I’m on a Bill Maher kick. Probably because he is uncomfortably right about 75% of the time and funny about 90% of the time. Anyway, here was a comment on his page from a viewer. I found it very insightful about AZ immigration and from a legal mexican Arizonian. :) Take a look.
Aloha Bill, I subscribe to HBO just for your program. I feel that you are on point 90% of the time, but your ill informed stance on Arizona being one of your stupidiest states is not correct! As a born and raised Arizonan, like 73% of all AZ residents, this new law to go in effect is the correct one! Altho’ violent crime is down, just under 20% of AZ crime is cimmited by illegals. But you never hear any of these real statists on the news, especially, the broadcasters. And our welfare system that creates Anchor babies is costing Arizonans and ALL Americans plenty, actually creating loss of jobs and loss of income for ALL legal residents! Case in point, my friend married a legal Mexican, they have 4 grown adults from 28-19 years. The family has always worked in the restaurant business and was able to make living wages. But the two youngest boys could not find work. Once this law was passed, the young men were finally able to wash the dishes, wait tables and cook for the customers! Now our legal Americans and American born Mexicans can make a living for themselves and their families! I feel for the Mexican plight too, but I want legal Americans to be able to work here in their own country by not having illegals steal their potential for jobs that they are willing to do! Most of the illegals, at the moment, have fled to Texas is our understanding. Now they must deal with the issue that our gov’t refuses to address. So please, revisit this issue with seeking out more information, learning the real circumstances and facts! Perhaps, one must be a little more poor, like us, to mix and mingle with the middle class down here struggling more than ever to survive in their America, while the elite and rich simply cannot see the unintended consequences of their actions by not inforcing laws already on the books and creating new laws that actually deny legal Americans the right to try and capture some of the American dream! It is not America’s place to try and solve the many problems of the world and try and turn all of the world’s economy into one that our corrupt corporate entities can suck in and rape! For now, Good Luck to all legals, we need it, man! Mahalo, Lynne, a teacher in Arizona. :)
