Arizona has passed legislation that makes it a crime for a business to hire someone from the large pool of an estimated twelve million illegals now living in our country. It seems that states are now having to do the job that the federal government has failed to do. In 2007, forty-six states passed 1,500 pieces of legislation in hopes of finding remedies for illegal entry into our great nation. Two hundred forty-four of these actually became law. Arizona has the stiffest penalty for hiring an illegal, in that a business can lose their license if convicted of breaking the new law. Many illegals are now hiding in their homes or leaving Arizona for refuge in other states. I believe that the diversity that we now enjoy in our country is due to the richness of the many different cultures that successfully exist side by side. I am thankful for all of the contributions that have been made by legal immigants. However, I have a problem with someone who chooses not to folllow the proper channels to cross our borders. For one thing, they are making a mockery of honest people who obtain a passport when they visit the U.S. or obey our laws in seeking citizenship. How come Washington cannot do its job of protecting our borders from people who refuse to follow the proper procedures to work in our coutry temporarily or to earn American Citizenship?
