Thread:Comments:US state of Arizona signs into law controversial immigration bill/Comments from feedback form - "So EVERY SINGLE person is now ..."/reply (6)

All of us are immigrants or ancestors of immigrants. Some came legally, some did not. Times have changed. Our country is mature now and does not need the vast labor force that was required to build a nation. If you are here legally you have nothing to fear. If you appear to be hispanic, by all means carry enough documentation to prove citizenship. Police are there, paid by our taxes, to protect the citizens of the United States. Citizens. If you fear the police, what are you hiding? Arizona has finally taken a step the other border states have been unwilling to take. The Federal Government has its priorities wrong, prefering to mess with our Doctors and Hospitals rather than secure our borders. And in case you are nodding your head and saying "another white supremist", I am not. I am 4th generation Portuguese American legally immigrated, and proud of my heritage as much as I am proud to be an American.
