O on topic? The bill is ridiculous bullshit but my voice doesn't count much in US politics as I don't care about political borders in the first place. I feel that people should be allowed to go and work wherever somebody wants to hire them -- worldwide.
I was speaking more of the Tijuana area specifically. As that's the only part of Mexico I've been.

exactly, if i've got the card then i wouldn't care who asked to see it. BAM! there it is.

the only downside is that it could be a hassle for the legitimate immigrants. it's unfortunate that the illegal ones cause these hoops to be created for them but until a better solution is proposed i think some action is better than no action.

i don't see how this is much different than being asked to provide photo ID when dealing with the government or a health card when you visit the hospital. then again i live in a 'socialist' country. basically, if you're going to leech (immigrate illegally, work illegally) and not make an attempt to carry your part the social burden (pay taxes) then i think you should be prepared to be treated like a leech.

Y'know after I posted I realized that you're in San Diego and I thought about Tijuana. A lot of my family are from your area and I've heard some crazy stories but never been there myself.

Not that this means anything, just interesting...

Carry on...
"in favor by it's citizens 3 to 1" means it's citizens are 75% in favour; or conversely 25% not in favour

1/3 equals (roughly speaking) 33.333333333333333333333333333333...%

which is interesting because that means there are hispanic who are in favour of the bill.

Then I'd have to show the Policeman a card. I mean it might be somewhat of a hassle but it's just as big of a hassle getting out a debit card or my ID.

No, I mean if you are a Mexican American who hasn't immigrated here, or even just look Mexican, you wouldn't have a card to show.

Well in that case they'll get shot at least twice at close range or beaten relentlessly and then get put here:



For.. ever..
