This is pretty simple. The citizens of the State of Arizona have been asking Washington for years, through Republican and Democrat administration for help with their border problem. Consider thisAccording to the FBI, of the 75 cities with the highest crime rate, Arizona is home to 5 of them! I don't think it is the millions of retired people living in Arizona who are committing those crimes. It has been reported that Phoenix has the second highest kidnap rate of any large city in the world. That's right, in the world. Ranchers are being shot and killed by illegal aliens. Now it is reported that there will be 70 marches coming up all over America to protest Arizona's new immigration law. People and even government officials are saying we should boycott Arizona. Why? The people of Arizona are scared, and they have more than their fair share of horrible crimes in their state. They have repeatedly asked Washington simply to enforce the border laws we have in place now, but Washington refuses. Why? Corporations and rich people want cheap Mexican and other Hispanic labor. Every American should stand up for their fellow citizens in Arizona, and demand that our federal government does something to protect the American citizens in Arizona. That seems pretty simple to me. |
