Kanye West Says “F*ck Arizona… Let’s Boycott That B*tch!”

Kanye West Vs Arizona

Kanye West & Zack De La Rocha are asking for a boycott of Arizona:

Zack de la Rocha has issued a statement on behalf of an organization called the Sound Strike urging music fans and fellow artists to boycott Arizona “to stop SB 1070,” which he labels an “odious” law.

Among those artists joining de la Rocha’s boycott are ……Conor Oberst, Kanye West, Rage Against the Machine, Rise Against, Cypress Hill, Serj Tankian, Joe Satriani, Sonic Youth, Tenacious D, Street Sweeper Social Club and Michael Moore.

In de la Rocha’s words, the new law “sanctions racial profiling, straight up,” forcing “cops to hunt down and target anyone they ‘reasonably suspect’ that may be undocumented. And if the people they harass don’t have proof that they were born in the U.S., they can be detained and arrested.”

He goes on to note that “Some of us grew up dealing with racial profiling, but this law (SB 1070) takes it to a whole new low. If other states follow the direction of the Arizona government, we could be headed towards a pre-civil rights era reality. This unjust law was set into motion by the same Arizona government that refused to acknowledge Martin Luther King Jr. day as a national holiday. When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, they arrested her. As a result, people got together and said we are not going to ride the bus until they change the law. It was this courageous action that sparked the Montgomery bus boycott. What if we got together, signed a collective letter saying, ‘We’re not going to ride the bus?’ “

The website includes a petition urging President Barack Obama to take action.

“Arizona’s new law is an assault on the US Constitution and an affront to the civil rights that were earned by generations who came before us,” the petition reads. “When states disregard the Constitution, when they sanction mistreatment of communities, it is the imperative of the Executive Branch to take the lead in defending the U.S. Constitution.”

The Sound Strike’s call to boycott follows recent protest cancellations by Cuban-American rapper Pitbull and Latino rappers Cypress Hill. A Phoenix New Times blog says this latest development feels like it’s “only the tip of the iceberg,” while AEG Live president/CEO Randy Phillips told Billboard he believes “the economic impact on the state from losing even a couple of tours might be enough for the legislature and the governor to realize that there is still a political concept called the tyranny of the majority which is just as dangerous to our democracy as illegal immigration, maybe more so.”

This will hopefully make an impact. The whole country has been trying to show Arizona how backwards they are, yet they still have not learned.

    i don’t even know what’s going on in AZ, but I’M WIT CHU BOO :)

  • drock

    I support Arizona, they are being flooded with illegal immigrants from the border. There are not enough jobs for the Americans, and what little there is left is being given to the illegals for cheaper pay. It’s done by design, drive down the wages, eventually it causes racial tension. America’s priorty must be to protect its borders.

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    This is but the beginning of what white people consider taking back their (hmmmm) country. Hopefully more artist will join in on the boycott.

  • Gimmeabreak78

    My future mother-in-law is travelling in AZ right now, and she looks Hispanic, although she’s 100% black. I told her to be sure to carry her “papers” with her, because we don’t want any problems. I was joking of course, but I wouldn’t put anything past law enforcement in AZ anymore.

    > Please don’t make that argument with a well educated person because their reply will be who is applying for those minimum wage jobs other than people without at least a highschool diploma. Education is the key to ou plight. Then we can’t be denied opportunity, if so; we will creat our own.

  • LaDiva

    I’m neutral.
    While I agree that illegals should come to this country legally, I do believe they should have the same rights as everyone in this country once they become citizens.

  • Somali Ninga

    FINALLY KANYE WEST BACK MAKING SOME SENSE!!

  • Ms. Richardson

    Don’t understand why black’s are against this, if they are here without papers and taking jobs away from those who are legal/born here, why not send their A$$e$ back. Kanye has a job, my black men need jobs now, but there are none because of illegals. Don’t care what interest the whites have in this, me as a black women my man can’t find a job!!!

  • LaDiva

    I however don’t agree with racial profiling. Not at all.

    @ Ms. Richardson

    U do realize that many illegals are taking jobs that many americans would never take.

    That does’nt apply anymore. We have college educated citizens who are not even able to find work. Let’s face it, those who are willing to do the same work for less will mostly likely get the jobs.

    THE FUNNY THING ABOUT THIS IS ARIZONA “WAS” BOYCOTTED AND THEY RELEASED A STATEMENT:
    THEY SAID SALES WERE DOWN#
    THEY SAID THEY NOTICED THEY HAD TO PICK UP LESS TRASH#
    THEY SAID STEALING DROPPED 70%#
    LAST BUT NOT LEAST THEY SAID THEY FINALLY COULD HEAR ENGLISH SPOKEN IN SHOPPING CENTERS#
    THERE WAS A LOT MORE OF TRUE SARCASM ON THE LIST BUT THESE ARE THE FEW I COULD THINK OF.

  • drock

    @ Charlie

    What I am saying is that honest Americans have been loosing job opportunities to illegals for far too long now. I am never against legal migration to our country and equal opportunity. But what many fail to realize is that , these people are illegally coming through our unprotected borders and sponging off our dying economy. We are not in a position to take care of anyone else when we can’t even take care of millions of unemployed Americans.

  • LaDiva

    @ Gimmeabreak78

    That’s the problem with it.
    They are sterotyping what an illegal person is supposed to look like. Nowadays with everyone dressing almost alike, it’s hard to tell who is illegal and who is not. There are plenty of illegals who speak perfect english as well. I mean it’s a big mess they are making over there.

  • Jocasta

    This is a Free Country and they should be able to come over to start a new beginning for themselves and their families… However, I do agree with some parts of the law. They need to come over the right way through immigration and they need to be screen for any health issues or diseases. They need to have all their shots before being allowed into this country. There is the Right way to do everything and jumping a fence and committing crimes once you get over the fence is not the correct way. Those who violate those laws should be prosecuted and sent back.

    Damn those illeagals, taking all the investment banking, law and corporate jobs. I second that they often take jobs that no one else really wants to do. Instead of blaming illegals, why not blame those that horde wealth. You can also blame a society that no longer harbors innovation on a global level.

  • drock

    @ LaDiva

    All those things you said are really true. The system is just broken. All welfare does is disable lazy people and make them dependent on the government. Than they go ahead and make a race of children who do the same. People just need to educate themselves and look beyond what is being fed by the media. The real enemy is ignorance.

    what jobs are you referring to that nobody wants….? I still can’t believe people are still using this tired argument especially since we are still recovering from a recession. I’m sure the 10 percent would take any job at this point. Even jobs that require a GED are tagged “bi-lingual preferred” down here in Texas.

  • nycprincesa1102

    @drock…. You’ve allowed them to eat your mind? Don’t you know that the illegal immigration “problem” is a buffer issue to distract you from the real pressing issues that affect our society… Like inadequate funding for education in a corporate run capitalist society? It’s not illegal immigration you need to be concerned with… It’s the brainwashing of our people to believe that self worth and value are measured by how much you consume… We live in a consumerist society and all they care about is how much profit they can make off of us… Keeping mindless consumers coming back for more… Stop blaming immigrants for taking American jobs when they jobs we are losing are being outsourced outside of the U.S…. So in all actuality… the American corporations took American jobs… not illegal immigrants… be aware of what’s really going on before you decide to make ill-informed comments…

    The law in itself is wrong, I’m completely against racial profiling. But I understand Arizona wanting to solve their illegal immigration problem. They need to go after these corporations who hire illegal aliens, many who would work for a lot less than minimum wage. Take away the job opportunities, they might not be so quick to hop the border.

  • Yapper( It’s A Girl)

    @Gimmeabreak78

    Thank you! :)

  • Keeep it Real

    Comparing the Civil Rights movement to ILLEGAL immigration is at best insulting. WE EARNED CITIZENSHIP. THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL IT. Every country has the right to protect their border and their sovereignty. The United States is being over run and invaded by ILLEGALS aliens. It is not fair to the people who are waiting to immigrate legally and to the citizens of this country.

    Yes lets penalize the employers. They want to blame everyone and penalize everyone except the Illegals. If they do not have papers, they should be held in custody until their hiring. This is not about race this is about the economy. For almost every job given to an unskilled Illegal worker that is a job taken from an unskilled brother in the hood. They are not working for $2 an hour. They make between $10 to $35 an hour. This is about what’s best for this country and the black community. Let’s get all of these welfare recipients off the rolls that the progressives enable to become dependent and then lets reduce the time for unemployment and if there are any jobs left. We can institute a temporary worker plan.

    Fact:A report that found that illegal immigrants in the United States cost the federal government more than $10 billion a year — a sum it estimated would almost triple if they were given amnesty —

    Fact:According to the Immunization and Naturalization Service, there were 8.7 million illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. in 2003. Conservative estimates maintain that number climbs around 500,000 each year. That would put the estimate for 2007 somewhere around 10.7 million illegal aliens living in the U.S.

    Fact:Arizonans fork out nearly $1.3 billion annually to pay for all of the costs incurred from illegal immigration; around $810 million for education, $400 million for health care related expenses, $80 million in incarceration costs, and the remainder in welfare benefits. All of this is required while Arizona runs a $500 million deficit annually.

    the real pressing issues that affect our society

    There are many real pressing issues that our society is inflicted with. Our country is run by off shore foreign bankers,and our government is in on it. I am well aware and well informed, thank you much.Illegals are purposely being allowed into our country. Why? Because they are a cheaper work force. Honey I get it. There are many more issues with our country, but this is the topic we are discussing. P.S. I am never for racial profiling.
    I always do my homework.

  • Gimmeabreak78

    Although I’m against this law, I do agree with the posters who’ve said that lower income Americans are competing with illegals for jobs. However, I think that to stem the problem of illegal immigration, it should be attacked from the demand side, not the supply side. Obviously, illegal immigrants cross the border because there is a demand for their low wage services. If you toughen the penalties against hiring illegals, it should become prohibitive enough to do so that the demand for their services should dry up.

    @LaDiva
    I did groundskeeping all throughout high school. It was easy work and it paid good. Thats another problem…people thinking they too pretty to get they hands dirty, but thats besides the point. And when people say jobs are being taken, custodial jobs are not the only ones in mind…. like i said its a tired argument. (speaking of which your argument was racist in itself but whatever). In Houston, Texas, hispanics are doing a variety of things and for the record, the few of them you see standing outside, do not represent the entire illegal immigrant population.

    I know Kanye can be a douche bag a lot of the time, but I think you are going in too hard on him. You make it sound as if Kanye never sticks up for black people, but if you remember Hurricane Katrina, you should also remember that Kanye said out loud and on live national television what every black person in the country thought about George Bush.

    Being born and raised in Arizona, and African American, I know personally how wack it is, but by artists “boycotting” Arizona and pulling out of concerts is whats really wack. The gov that runs AZ aren’t the fans of these performers is the people that live here and are the first ones affected the Arizona’s crazy laws that are the fans. AZ doesn’t have too many big name coming thru here, so when Ye came here years ago, and AZ lost a grip of money (same with Jay) I was one of the lucky ones that got to bare whiteness. Nas is coming in June, if he pulls some “cypress hill” stuff he just lost a fan if not more. I’m just saying if artists what to make a point or whatever then do some 1980′s public enemy “fight the power” “by the time i get to Arizona” on AZ………….i don’t necessarily agree with what AZ does, but c’mon, try being born here, you either move away or spend a life time complaining

    @drock… This topic masks much deeper issues ingrained in North American society… This law does nothing to combat the real problem of corporate shilling and our own government allowing for our continued demise… stop blaming the illegal immigrants and blame the source of the problem… again, we’re getting into an uproar about people trying to make a living… and honestly… i don’t see many American citizens running to take minimum wage paying jobs (the jobs immigrants take) even before the issue of illegal immigration was in the forefront of the American psyche… This wasn’t even a huge issue before the 2000 presidential election (Coincidental???).. again… Now that goes into an issue of uneven distribution of resources/education/wealth… only the 10% of the have’s population benefits from these types of laws… Again… scapegoating people trying to make a living and survive… never works

  • AnonymousGal

    Yeah, tell Kanye and all these supporters to allow these illegals to live in their backyard. When that happens, come talk to me.

    All people are saying is, if you want to come here, come correct. You cannot break the law! I have a friend whose partner came here from Mexica about 5 years ago. He had to go through the arduous task of becoming a LEGAL citizen, and yes, it was hard, but he did it the right way. What is so hard for people to understand that? Why should people be rewarded for breaking the law? We American citizens have to live by the law and if we break it, we are supposed to be punished for it. Nevertheless, people can cross the boarder, enter into our home (the U.S.) lock, stock and barrel? Would you leave the door open to your home to allow strangers to come in. So why is this an issue?

    U do realize that many illegals are taking jobs that many americans would never take.
    —————————-
    That is SO not true! Don’t you know that blacks were the original ones that took jobs like this. Blacks were maids, housekeepers, worked in car washes (I remember growing up in L.A. and every person that worked for a car wash was a black man), etc. Americans are hungry and want to feed their families. In this economy, they want to work, so you are wrong.

  • AnonymousGal

    I have to give Latinos and their allies a big thumbs up. When they feel mistreated, they band together and have economic boycotts. This is something blacks used to do. We don’t have the balls to do that anymore. Another thing is how many Latinos are banning together for the cause of the black man. Hell, they’re trying to kill our arses in L.A.

    @Keep It Real

    Comparing the Civil Rights movement to ILLEGAL immigration is at best insulting. WE EARNED CITIZENSHIP. THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL IT.
    ____________________________________________

    That’s not true. At the time of the CRM you reference, black people were already citizens. You were born a citizen. You didn’t have to do anything but be born in one of the 50 states or territories to get your citizenship.
    _________________________________

    That’s my point we were citizens. They are not and want to be treated as such. No country in the world would tolerate 12 million plus crossing the border. Mexico does not tolerate the South American coutries ILLEGALLY entering their country. Why should we?

  • Gimmeabreak78

    @MIA

    Have one white, hispanic, Asian or any thing else EVER stood up for black people.
    ________________________________________________

    The answer to that question is yes. The reality is that during the CRM, Dr. King reached out to clergy leaders of every racial stripe (White, Hispanic, Asian, etc) and they marched right along with him, and often to their own detriment. The film Missippi Burning chronicled the real life story of three white civil rights workers and one black one who were lynched because they were trying to register blacks to vote in Mississippi. We shouldn’t just turn a blind eye to injustice simply because we think the injustice doesn’t affect people who look like us.

    I thought your point was that blacks earned citizenship (because you capitalized it). My point was simply that during the CRM, blacks in the US were already citizens (not trying to earn it). Citizenship was already the birthright of Black Americans for five generations by the time the Civil Rights Movement began.

Hanson (the Director of the Center on Pacific Economies and Professor of Economics at UCSD) suggests that a 10-percent immigrant-induced increase in the supply of a particular skill group reduced the black wage by 4.0 percent, lowered the employment rate of black men by 3.5 percentage points, and increased the incarceration rate of blacks by almost one percent.”

    @Mia

    I said this on a post a couple of months ago I think, but this law frightens me because human history has consistently shown that whenever a government targets a particular group of people to prove who they are religiously, ethnically, spiritually, it has always ended in either internment or genocide.

    Cases in point:

    WWII–Jews had to carry special identification. 6 Million exterminated.

    WWII–Japanese-Americans had to carry special IDs and were forced into internment camps.

    Rwanda 1994–Hutus and Tutsis had to carry special IDs to identify them as one or the other. 1 million Tutsis and Hutu moderates were exterminated.

    My overall point is the notion of “special papers” for a particular segment of the population is always scary. It does nothing more than fan the flames of racial/ethnic/tribal/religious tension.

    LaDiva, I did not say that blacks were the only ones working, but what I’m saying is that blacks were taking menial jobs long before illegals came here, so where people say that they are doing work no one else will do, they are wrong.

    And I’ve been very vocal about anyone that comes to this country should adapt to the english language. With that being said, I will not allow anyone to tell me I can’t speak another language either.

    I have no problem with people speaking their own language whatsoever. I used to live in L.A. and I was at the Beverly Center. I was waiting for an elevator and there were a group of people from the Middle East, and they were speaking their tongue, and there were a group of Latinos, speaking their language, etc. I have no problem with that at all. It was quite interesting to hear. My problem is when I am forced to speak Spanish in order to work. That is wrong.

    I can’t take that up with the employer because they are looking out for their own interest – the bottom line: MONEY.

One dare not step over that border incorrect or there will be h.e.l.l. to pay.

    The concern is that if you look like my mother in law (Hispanic-looking, but racially black and a US citizen to boot) you may be unfairly profiled and subject to a level of scrutiny and haras.sment that someone racially white, but Canadian by nationality and illegally in the US. That’s not fair. Imagine what would happen if the government decided that the next “problem group” is gangbangers. Since in many people’s minds black ages 15-50 fit the profile of who they consider ganbangers, would the government then be justified in making people carry ID’s to prove they WEREN’T gangbangers?

    Biff and Tom in the suburbs probably wouldn’t have to worry about being unduly haras.sed if they forgot their “I’m-not-a-gangbanger-ID”, however Jamal and Tariq on their way to their law-abiding jobs if they forgot their ID’s simply because they fit the description of what a gangbanger looks like.

    @ LaDiva

    First of all, ILLEGAl immigrants must hide in the shadows of society because they are ILLEGAL and dont want to get caught and deported. With that said, they bring down wages because they are desperate and will take ANY job, at ANY wage. Are Americans supposed to accept 3rd world wages to compete with ILLEGAS? You seem to forget that BEFORE Mexicans, blacks were cook, nannies, gardners, housekeepers, and worked in the FIELDS!!. But see folks prefer to pay an ILLEGAL below poverty wages then complain Americans don’t want the work.

    Everything should be done legally.
    If they have to go back to their countries in order to legalize their paperwork, then so be it.
    However once they are here legally, they should be entitled to every single opportunity known to man in this country.

    Hi! I have to disagree with you on one point my dear… immigration has been a big ticket item for a long time now, it’s just taken a backseat to many other issues… It was high on the list during the presidential election, but soon after the economy tanked and an Obama has been otherwise occupied with that an Healthcare reform. Arizona is just fed up and taking measures into their own hands…radically so.
    ________________________________________________

    I actually don’t think we disagree. The recession started in ’07. We didn’t start hearing about illegal immigration until after that. That’s when the national dialogue about illegal immigration started and GWB considered amnesty as a solution. During the Clinton administration, when this country was the most prosperous it had ever been in its history, you didn’t hear boo about illegal immigrants or any rhetoric about how they were draining the nations resources.

  • Elle

    Who put Arizona (or America for that matter) in any position to turn away immigrants. Last time I checked, we were all immigrants even whites. They stole this country from the native Americans and made it their own. No one is in any position to say that immigrants aren’t allowed on this land. I say land because to me America is not a country. It has no cuisine and it has no real culture. And to think, they wanted to make Mccain president. Can you imagine what he would have done? Plain and simple the native Americans are the rightful owners of this land. Immigrants (white people) can’t tell other immigrants that they can’t come in.

    @ Elle,
    Ah, sounds so good. FAIL.
    America is a young country, and a melting pot. It has many cuisines an is comprises of many cultures. That’s the beauty of America. It is also a country with clearly defined borders, state govermnents and a federal government which comparitively speaking when you look at governments around the globe, works. This is a great country. Young, stupid, arrogant, but a great country nonetheless. What the Europeans (English, Spanish, French) did to the Indians was an atrocity. However, that does not give anyone from any other country the right to come into our country now break our laws.

    Try again.

    @ LaDiva,
    I have much respect for families that have done it the way your family did. What most Americans fail to realize (me included till just recently) was that the process by which to GET LEGAL is terrible!!! It’s a long painful and costly process, and then sometimes you don’t get ‘accepted’. I work with people from all over the world, alot of Asians, (Indians, Chinese, Filipino’s) who tell me that their education an job experience is taken into account as well, an if there’s a job need their more likely to be ‘accepted’. I dunno. I happen to think that unless you have a criminal record in your country of origin nothing else should matter except that you are capable of learning the english language! I know one story of a person who met his wife during a layover from a cruise ship. She never returned and has been living illegally here for 10 years. He’s legal, she’s not. Apparently there’s a clause in the law that states if you ALLOW your work visa to expire, and you go home, you can’t return again for 10 years…

    IMMIGRATION REFORM is needed to that people CAN BECOME LEGAL… it’s easy for me to sit here and say, get legal… an i do believe that… but i really think this AZ law will actually be a catalyst for true reform.

    The Companies that hire then and the role of the US GOV allowing borders to be open are the real issues here.

    and if he gets involved in this issue he can forget his Career.

    Arizona is not doing anything that the Federal Gov is not allowed to do. And most Americans support the law. These illegals are causing all types of problems in more states than just Arizona.

    But to say you want to boycott Arizona is beyond stupid.

It’s life and normal human behavior. Plenty of blacks wearing wigs with European hair… plenty of whites tanning, plenty of hispanics doing whatever they do… Elle said that America doesn’t have a culture. Sure we do. And most people who come here ‘clone’ themselves to try an fit into that culture no matter if they’re from Paraguay or Pakistan. It’s called Western civilization.

    _______________________________________________

    IMHO, there are a few ways. Here are some suggestions:

    1)Since they are able to get drivers’ licenses, and you need to ID to get those, I suggest that state governments check their DMVs to see which type of documents were presented to obtain their DL. If the document was something establishing US citizenship, like a birth certifcate, naturalization certificate, or a pas.sport, then they are in the clear.

    However, if the documents used to obtain a driver’s license were generated in another country, it should trigger another inquiry into their status from there. If the name on the DL cannot be verified as belonging to a person who is lawfully in the country, that person should get a knock on the door.

    2) Criminalize the hiring of illegals. The fine should be so prohibitively expensive that demand for an illegal work force should dry up. However, for those emloyers who are not deterred by the fines, they should also face prison time. Not only should people who hire illegals be fined and imprisoned, the fine money should be used to help fund the search for and prosecution of their illegal employees.

    3) Incentivize the apprehension of illegal immigrants. The same way that local law enforcement agencies set up anonymous tip lines and rewards for members of the community who give valuable information to authorities on other types of criminal activity, state governments should consider setting up anonymous tip lines or giving rewards for information that leads to the arrest of illegal aliens.

    i am a black man (legal) living the phoenix valley area and am for the current law. to me its simple, if you don’t have the proper documentation that states that you are indeed legal, then you must go until you are able to obtain the proper information. they (illegals) must do it the right way.

    My point the entire time has been that while I am against illegal immigration, I am also against racial profiling. The AZ law is overbroad and won’t pa.ss constituional muster if it is taken to the courts because all one needs to do to be considered a suspect is be Hispanic. As I have mentioned several times before, that wlll unfairly subject Hispanic CITIZENS to a level of scrutiny that black and white citizens don’t have to face. Also, it would allow non-Hispanic illegals to evade detection.

    It’s funny you bring up tickets for driving infractions. I live in Houston, TX which is 25% black. However, in 2007 65% of the drivers pulled over for nonarrest traffic stops were black. I find it hard to believe that black people drive so differently from anyone else, that those numbers are a result of anything else besides racial profiling. Just like “routine traffic stops” are the pretext police officers in Houston use to stop black drivers to look for more serious infractions, I believe the AZ law enforcement will use the same tactics to target people they believe to be illegal. Why is this okay in your opinion?

    Were you one of that 65%? I already know the answer. True story – When I was younger and drove a hoopty I was stopped for minor infractions and given a ticket. I noticed the nicer car I drove and the older I became I was almost never stopped even if I committed that same infraction. FYI, I can still pazz for my late twenties mid thirties. Is that fair, no but that’s life. More crimes are committed by young AA men. Also, to anyone reading, if you are cooperative and ask the officer to give you a break and not give you a ticket. They just might give you a pazz. I have been on both ends talk shyt they look for extra things and try to take you to jail. Chill, you might get a pazz. There are 800K Illegals they should be stopped. Half of them are driving without licenses and you know it. If they hit your car, they are going to speed off or produce some fraudulent insurance docs and you or your insurance company will end up paying to get your car fixed.

    Comparing the Civil Rights movement to ILLEGAL immigration is at best insulting. WE EARNED CITIZENSHIP. THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL IT. Every country has the right to protect their border and their sovereignty. The United States is being over run and invaded by ILLEGAL aliens. It is not fair to the people who are waiting to immigrate legally and to the citizens of this country.

    Yes lets penalize the employers. They want to blame everyone and penalize everyone except the Illegals. If they do not have papers, they should be held in custody until their hiring. This is not about race this is about the economy. For almost every job given to an unskilled Illegal worker that is a job taken from an unskilled brother in the hood. They are not working for $2 an hour. They make between $10 to $35 an hour. This is about what’s best for this country and the black community. Let’s get all of these welfare recipients off the rolls that the progressives enable to become dependent and then lets reduce the time for unemployment and if there are any jobs left. We can institute a temporary worker plan.

    Fact:A report that found that illegal immigrants in the United States cost the federal government more than $10 billion a year — a sum it estimated would almost triple if they were given amnesty —

    Fact:According to the Immunization and Naturalization Service, there were 8.7 million illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. in 2003. Conservative estimates maintain that number climbs around 500,000 each year. That would put the estimate for 2007 somewhere around 10.7 million illegal aliens living in the U.S.

    Fact:Arizonans fork out nearly $1.3 billion annually to pay for all of the costs incurred from illegal immigration; around $810 million for education, $400 million for health care related expenses, $80 million in incarceration costs, and the remainder in welfare benefits. All of this is required while Arizona runs a $500 million deficit annually.

That’s not even arrogant, it’s just stupid, Barack Obama’s sister speaks fluent spanish, these dummies don’t think that she has already given him the ‘lowdown’ on what they think of blacks and him especially.

    Yeah, we have enough dummies in our country, tell send them back to their own dusty, uncivilized country.

    Wow…this was an interesting post. Most people haven’t read the law…that is what upsets me about some of the comments. People make their opinions from what the media has fed to them. I support Arizona because it has to stop somewhere.

    ^^
    Agreed. I commend Arizona for trying to solve the problem. Whether it’s practical or “politically correct” is debatable, but the state is TRYING to solve a major problem that’s been going on for DECADES.

WHICH MOST OF THESE JOBS R SEASONAL & THE OTHER HALF IS OPERATED BY MACHINE-THAT IS THE EARLY & MID 20TH CENTURY IMAGE MOST HAVE IN THEIR HEAD OF WHAT AN ILLIGAL MEXICAN LOOKS LIKE & WHAT KIND OF JOBS THEY HAVE. FAR FROM THE TRUTH.

    Actually, people who are illegal put in more money then they use in the US. This is not true of the African American community. And if you really want to talk numbers, Caucasians are the biggest benefactors of the welfare system.

    Pay attention to the homeless population and you will see which sectors are the most underrepresented. As a matter of fact, illegals cannot even get welfare.

    As far as the job situation, I have worked with people of all backgrounds and there is a different attitude and a greater appreciation. And this attitude comes from any person not born in this country. With the progression in time, people from the US have come to believe many jobs are beneath them. My African American brothers and sisters, if you feel that you would be willing to work these jobs then by all means: apply for them! Apply to wash dishes and cook and pick fruit and clean for 7.15 an hour. It is what us offered and these jobs are open to anyone.

    I wonder how our economy will recover when we have people wanting twice as much money for half as much work. Please be preparred to pay three times as much for your food.

    Immigration is the skeleton of this country and has been historically speaking. The only difference is fear because of rapid growth. And ignorance in an already corrupted and immoral country.

  • CindyCalifornia

    And please PLEASE remember that looking illegal can be African, Anglo or Hispanic. Not all illegals are from Mexico And not all Hispanics are Mexican either.

    As far as the stats on the money Arizona spends on incarceration and schools and welfare…get the stats right! Illegals are not draining the system along with Caucasians and African Americans, it’s the Hispanic Americans. And nationally, puerto Ricans contribute a huge percentage of the Hispanic welfare as well. The sad part is that this law inches closer and closer to major civil law violations and ignorance will be your downfall.

    I am just waiting to hear the reaction of the African American community when one of your own is detained for looking like he or she just landed of the coast of Africa…kids home alone…losing all their possesions….

    Focus…..

    While people debate the “immigrant” situation like a bunch of trained puppies, the REAL legislation is the beginning of a national data base that will be used on ALL of us that is tucked neatly into the same legislation. So, when they “give in” to public opinion and stop cops from determining citizenship, the data base will STILL be in effect.

    Your argument rings hollow. Yes Mexican immigrants work harder. All immigrants work harder. What’s your point? Get in line jackazz. Mexican first generation immigrants bust azz but their kids are just as dumb and lazy as the AA welfare baby mamma’s kids. They in most cases become become part of the problem not the solution with high percentage participants in the welfare and criminal justice system.

    Your azzumption that blacks are inherently lazy and ignorant is laughable. Who cleaned toilets, who cooked the food, you worked the fields before Mexicans. It’s progressive policies and the welfare system that has created a sense of entitlement. This country was great before you got here and will be great when ILLEGAL immigrants are gone.

    Drock dropping the bombs of Logic on this entire discussion. People think this law is racist because the media tells them so, how easily influenced they must be if they actually believe that. Illegal Immigration is a serious problem, we have 30 MILLION in the United States alone. Our Government has failed to act, it is causing States to go broke especially border States as well as many American families nation wide. If Arizona wants to step up and handle their own problem, good for them.

  • tweis

    Plain and simple…..We don’t cross the border into Canada illegally, expect them to change everything for us,(phone options, road signs, driver tests, menus, business signs, etc.)commit crimes, (I know not all illegals commit crimes) act like we are entitled to be there and then cry “racial profiling” when a state HAS to do something to prevent illegals from crossing into our country because the Federal Government want do anything to close up the border.

  • tweis

    I have read the law. They are not pulling you over just because you are Mexican, Hispanic, Latino, Cuban, Puerto Rican, etc. You have to already be committing a crime or traffic violation (speeding, weaving, dui, etc.)THEN they will check your papers just like they would if I went to Canada or Europe or MEXICO! Any other country you visit you have to show papers that you are visiting, green card , visa, etc. It is not racial profiling, it is what should have been done all along.

Fence make great neighbor, The Marching Mexicans should go back to Mexico and rightfully DEMAND their birthright in their homeland.

  • Joe

    I will boycott every band and performer who is boycotting Arizona. This Arizona law is not about race. Everyone have a nice weekend.

  • Boaz

    The FED and Corporations conspired to get illegals to work in our country and then pulled taxes out that they didn’t have to refund because the illegals couldn’t claim their tax refund. This made lots of money for Uncle Sam. Illegals didn’t mind because most sent their money down to Mexico. It has been a huge racket for years and Arizona citizens have suffered now that drug cartels are kidnapping and killing Americans in America.

    Kanye is such a hypocrit. If a white America rolled into Compton they’d kick his butt or shoot em and blame him for not recognizing invisible turf boundaries. Arizona and the U.S. have clear national borders that have been breached for years. Tell Kanye to boycott his Uncle Tom puppet President Obama’s NON-STATE District of Columbia … the Egyptian Goddess town of pagan filth .. and get off Arizona’s back. Fact is cops lie and go after and frame up innocent people all the time. They don’t need a law to continue doing that. This law really is about stopping this gnarly drug war from costing lives in Arizona and all the collateral drug war damage its causing and breaking the state’s bank. Cops don’t like pulling over potential cartel guys who will open up on em … but these illegals are robbing, killing, kidnapping and raping. So they got to do it. Got to round em up. Kanye needs to stuff a sock in his mouth on this Arizona thing. Kanye needs to take on the Illuminati in the music industry like Tupac did instead of pussing out on side issues about a state that he doesn’t live in and a problem he isn’t directly affected by. Its none of his business how Arizonians deal with their border crisis unless it a gross injustice and its not. The so-called Patriot Act’s toxic provisions has been a gross injustice that’s hurt Kanye’s people. Surely like Arizona the Rappers can understand the need to defend oneself and one’s turf. Again the hypocrisy of Kanye and a bunch of entertainers on this issue is glaring. Maybe Kanye is Illuminati like Jay Z and that’s why he’s attacking Arizona. Tupac would be haunted if that were true. Tupac used his mouth to resist the Killuminati while Kanye is using it to help its agenda for a North American Union. Tupac was trying to help black people and minorities out, Kanye is playing into the hands of the enemies of his own people. Can’t he see this?

  • Endya

    So has anyone read the law actually?

  • Black Jewel

    Joe, I am with you with boycotting anyone, or agencies that boycotts Arizona. I will not be purchasing anymore of Kanye music. I will turn the station if he come on the radio. We have to obey the law, why can’t the Mexican? How dare they think they can go to the front of the line in front of people who have waited for years. I will plan on making my first visit to Arizona soon, they are displaying courage, that I have yet to see here in GA.

    Just goes to show West and De La Rocha, like most ‘celebtities’, are idiots.

    The AZ bill is a lighter version of what US Federal Law already says. The Supreme Court already said racial profiling is legal when looking for illegal immigrants.

    And the AZ bill says you CAN’T racially profile.

    I bet they didn’t even read the bill.

    F*k Arizona? My Kanye your mother would be proud to know her son has such a command of the english language. Perhaps you should READ SB1070, if you can, and then form an opinion. It isn’t about profiling. Like most of the uniformed you jump on any bandwagon that will get you a little press. Considering your recent musical career it is understanding. Grow up, get a life and stop running around with the other lemmings. Get an education BEFORE you decide to run your mouth about things you don’t understand.

    Re: “ill say it again mexicans sided with whites during the black struggle for civil rights in the 50′s & 60s……”

    That is such an evil lie. Somebody needs to call you out on your BS!

    First of all, in 1944 Senator Dennis Chavez of New Mexcico was the first one to introduce a bill to ban discrimination based on race, religion, color, national origin or ancestry. It was called the Fair Employment Practices Commission Bill. Although it was voted down, twenty years later the Civil Rights Amendment took its language directly from that bill.

    Secondly, Mexican-Americans set the legal precedents for several civil rights cases. One such case is Loving v Virginia (1967), the case that ended the ban on interracial marriage. The legal precedent was set by a California case called Perez v Sharp (1948).

    Third, Congressmen Henry Gonzalez and Edward Roybal voted in favor of the 1964 Civil Rights Amendment. They would not have done so if they had sided with whites as you falsely claim.

    Also, singer Joan Baez marched with MLK and raised money for the Civil Rights Movement.

    There are more examples, but hopefully you will get the idea and stop spreading lies about people.

    As for SB 1070, it has nothing to do with illegal immigration. Arizona has been rounding up illegal immigrants for years without so much as a peep from the federal government.

    What SB 1070 would do is create a justification to round up American citizens of Mexican and other Hispanic descent to keep us from VOTING. How many Hispanics do you think they will detain on election day?

    Cheating is the only way that old hag Brewer (R) can win in November.

    GOP Game to Swipe the November Election,” by Greg palast.

    Kanye you are an idiot and should keep your mouth shut. So should all of the other “artists” that are just trying to get their name in print. I am Mexican-American and I can tell you the SB1070 is about the rule of law and not about race. Nothing illegal, drugs, guns or people should be allowed to cross our borders. Kanye go back to making your noise and please don’t pollute Arizona air with the crap you call music. Douche.
