  WOW! seriously. With twisted thinking like this we are ALL doomed. This country seems to have lost all common sense. I'll vote for anything like Arizonas law to come up in my state.

We are a nation of immigrants. ( except of course for the first nation people of which many americans have American Indian blood including me ). We need immigrants for new ideas, tweaking of culture, and of course big business wants cheap labor ( example: poultry business). Immigration is one of the things that makes this nation the best on Earth for hundreds of different reasons. I want immigrants from around the world  to come here. Do I want all to come here? NO. Not everyone should be allowed to enter this great nation. All that do come should expect to become Americanized, and LEARN ENGLISH! Still be proud of who you are and keep all positive trates of your culture. To come here and expect to keep all of your culture and language and only associate with ones own kind should not be embraced.  Im 100% for the AZ law and will vote for anything similar in my own state.

  I am a laid off to part time employee of 15 years of full time guy. I am working all I can to  provide for my family. I have applied at numerous places where I know for a fact illegals are working. I never got a call back. This idea that  "we" are to proud to do any job to support our families is simply wrong. I'm tired of hearing it. I can only guess people who thing this must be very lazy and think the only job for them is behind a desk. Yes, many times illegals are stealing our jobs. Or at the very least lowering wages/benefits/safety for all.

  immigration is the life blood of the country. Its what makes this country better than any other in the world. I want immigration from all over the world to come here. We need the new ways of thinking and culture so this great nation keeps improving instead of stagnates. That said it must be legal immigration of people who want to become Americans, culturally and legally. This law simply is not illigal but an enforcement of current laws. All illegals should be sent back to there country of origin and reapply legally. I want you here! LEGALLY!

  I do believe that the police have more than enough knowledge and experience to know when someone is illegal or not, and then use their expertise to enforce the law. I simply do not believe people will be pulled over for being brown. Especially in a place like Arizona where a large part of the community ( legal or not ) is of latino descent.
