I just saw an article on MSN a few minutes ago. Apparently the opponents of Arizona’s new immigration law are crying for an “Arizona Boycott”. They’re trying to get a tourism boycott underway, and apparently some events and what not have already canceled their upcoming reservations as a result. Hell, even AriZona tea is getting in on it by proudly and loudly proclaiming that, despite the name, the tea is made in New York.
The purpose of all this hullabaloo? Apparently it’s an attempt to show the state of Arizona what everyone else thinks by crippling their economy.
Okay, seriously, what the hell people? All the law allows is for law enforcement to question individuals if they have reason to believe they are illegal immigrants and ask for documentation. What the hell is wrong with that? Frankly, I think it’s a wonderful law and may help agents ferret out the illegal immigrants hiding in plain sight and track them down easier.
I think it’s pathetically humorous that people across the country are getting their knickers in a twist over Arizona’s move when most don’t even have to deal with half the shit they do. The border security in Arizona is hardly up to scratch. Human trafficking and illegal immigration is rife there and this new law is an attempt to give agencies another tool to deal with it. I say bravo Gov. Jan Brewer, you’re doing what needs to be done. The people who are complaining aren’t stopping to think about how these illegal activities affect the communities there, or the danger that people involved in these activities undergo. Do you know how many illegal aliens are found DEAD in the deserts of Arizona every year? These people who illegally crossed, tried to hike through miles and miles of scorching heat for days on end, armed only with the water and food they can carry, an amount that is not nearly enough to last them the duration in that sweltering heat?
And what of the human traffickers and drug runners? How do you think they run their operations? By the book? Hardly! They sneak people in anyway they can, no matter the conditions they have to endure. And the supplies they use? Just ask the victims of theft, burglary, and vandalism – the residents of the communities near a border how they get those supplies. They can tell you easily. Those abandoned cars smack in the middle of the desert don’t get there on their own. I’ve seen this stuff happen here in New Mexico, and our border is more heavily patrolled and secured then Arizona’s. So seriously, this boycott is nothing but the childish reaction of people who can’t be bothered to actually stop and think about a situation properly.
On top of all this, the irony is, the boycott will actually hurt the hotel, tourism, dinning, and transportation trades more before it’ll hurt anyone else. That’s right, the local hotels, convention centers, taxi cab services, fast food joints, and restaurants will feel the burn long before life insurance agencies, hospitals, ect feel it. Those trades also happen to be the trades that unskilled laborers can find employment in easier too. So, in effect, the ones most hurt by the boycott will be the very same ones who the opponents of the new law are supposedly trying to help. Now that’s irony for you.
