Hyperbole (pronounced /haɪˈpɜrbəli/[1], from ancient Greek ὑπερβολή 'exaggeration') is a rhetorical device in which statements are exaggerated. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally."
You know, I honestly never knew what that word meant. So, the duuude man NoAmericanIdiot feels I am over exaggerating... I like to know where in my post is there any exaggerations.

you need there is a real good side to the oppenent stance on this. If amnesty is followed through, this law is torn down and the left will expect votes from such immigrants. Well, most of us are roman catholic. Most of us are against 90% of what the left stands for. The left might be cutting their own feet.

Man, why are you spitting in my family's face? Get real dude; enough of the hyperbole."
Yeah. Tell me why has every other Hispanic had to go through the legal route up until now? Yes, you are spitting all the other Hispanics who have become the perfect models' faces.
Would you like me to enter Mexico and demand what's being demanded by the opponents of this bill? No, you support Mexico's sovereign laws.
Sorry that is not true a two new polls came out and one said 72% of legal Arizona Hispanics said they are against the law. Another said nationwide 67.7% of legal Hispanics said they are against the Arizona law." Well, take a look at how many of us are in the US. That it is still a lot of us against it, and you probably got that from a ultra lib news source I bet.

I sincerely doubt that "most Latino citizens actually support this measure" since they are going to be targeted along with everyone else." Well, unless you are hispanic yourself, you probably won't know and only assume. Now, for this hispanic, I support such a law momentarily. And, at least its no where near as bad of a law as the country of origin for most of these illegals - Mexico. And to think the Mexican government, who has one of the most draconian immigration laws in the western hemisphere, are up in arms about this proposal.
We also need to get some terms down. You keep yelling Hispanic. We are much more than just Mexico. Yesterday I said I hope this law gains power and hits places like Chicago and New York and I hope they hit two of the most disgusting nationalities to be high on the illegal immigrant radar and they are not Hispanic and I won't say European but I will instead name the nationalities at the appropriate time (but they are European).
As for carrying papers.. do you have a problem carrying your id when making a purchase with your credit card? Do you have a problem carrying an id trying to cash in that lottery you just won? Do you have a problem showing your medical records? Do you have a problem showing your id card to pick up your welfare check, get food stamps, oh and getting a home loan?
My mom and her entire family had no problems carrying such documents/ids, they had no problem obeying the laws....
You basically just spit in every Hispanic who has come to the US, worked hard, become part of the model citizenry. Why are illegals all of a sudden so much more valuable than those of us who are legal? Because you are putting a higher value on them. You must be thinking they are better than us and they should be able to cut the line. Oh, and when are you going to at least recognize the amount of Hispanics who have been killed by those illegally coming over the border. When are you going to wave a sign and say "hey, I feel sorry for you little kids who've been kidnapped, drugged up, killed for some cartel, but hey, its better for the overall outlook in forgetting the criminal past (no state has the right to check a police record in a foreign country) of these guys. No, let's just give them an amnesty because they are really only about x%. Its just a few bad apples.
Man, why are you spitting in my family's face?

rat: You're partly wrong. It would help, especially if they enforce the hiring of Americans, like 99% of all other countries in the world. Have you taken a stat on how many are working vice how many are not? Those working for "reduced" wages are becoming more and more of a minority. Much more are coming in for their own business reasons. Also, remember, once a child is born in the US, it is a US citizen (rightfully so) and they can then collect public assistance and thus don't need to work and that includes all siblings, both parents and senior citizen grandparents.. Believe it or not, that does start adding up.
What has pushed this and has received support from many Hispanic Americans, is simply the crime that come over. Or, and I do hope they do this in NYC and crack down on Russians and Eastern Europeans.

While I am a pro choice person, I can't see why tax payers should have to pay for your abortion. However, should a woman get raped, I then support tax funded abortion (it is really a politician's and police mistakes why there are such crimes).
If a girl is under age, both sets of parents should foot the bill. Should they not be able to pay for it then a loan system should be provided

And you do realize that plenty of people born in the US look just like our southern neighbors. They're going to have to start carrying around papers to prove that they aren't immigrants. Sounds like a wonderful way to be made to feel at home."
thundercat: I'm one of those. And yes, I won't like it, but I have to ask myself is this, do I put up with an enforcement such as this or do I accept the thousands of latinos who have to put up with the current crime wave coming over the boarder? Do I accept that Arizona is #2 in the world for kidnapping, human trafficking, and then having a police force that is NOT ALLOWED to do next to nothing about it as immigration was supposed to be a fed duty. Mind you, for every ten people coming into the US, at least 2 of them are not coming for jobs nor to seek a better life but to prey on the weak and scared. Now times that number by the thousands.
I know its a hard pill to swallow, but is there a better alternative because we all know the status quo is not the way to go. As for hitting the employers of these illegals, if you look at the numbers, it is not as big part of the problem many are led to believe.
I hope the bill is changed, but not to what you and many white libs want.

You do realize that if you migrated into the U.S., legally you are required to carry documention stating so, i.e., green card, passport w/visa, at all times."
My mom's family did for years. No complaints. I carry my gaijin card with me at all times, no complains and mind you that was back in the day when it was unheard of anyone coming to the US and getting public assistance. Oh, and don't you need to have some form of documentation to get such benefits???? I'm sure no one complains about having to show their id to receive something.
As I hear the Mexican president voicing concerns, you do realize what you need on you in Mexico should try to live or do business there?

zurc, I don't know if you think you are talking for us, but let me tell you as an Hispanic American, I do not support what has come over the border in recent years. If the Obama admin wants to cave into the Mexican gov claims while the have one of the worse immigration records, he's lost my vote. If he wants to side with illegal immigrants over those of us whose parents came to the US, worked hard and have become a model for all minorities - then he's lost a lot.
1/3 of the police in Arizona are Hispanic. While the crime in Arizona is mostly due to thugs coming over the border, they have hurt legal Hispanics most. If the police pull me over because I'm brown, in all honestly, I blame the idiots have have not only NOT appriciated what they got in the US, but have actually crapped on it. And I also blame the fed for not doing their job in not taking care of the border.
I am sure this law won't stand up but I do hope its a wake up and while you are at, don't try to tell me Obama or the white dems really care about us. They want the votes. Spend some time in a real hard working hispanic community, especially Puerto Rican or Cuban - again model minorities if not the most, and you'll be surprised how far off your views are. Many of us are very conservative, support gun ownership, believe in state's rights.

the prez is allowed to pray to ever and with who ever he wants, but I would prefer he took a no pay leave to do so. We need a better form of separation between church and state.

Arizona may have slapped a hornet's nest. This is going to cost the state millions to enforce. " Ha, my brother's already thinking about going there to see if he gets pulled over so he can sue... This is true.
Anyway, I hope the law is pulled back but with the Fed taking a greater look into what has really cause much of why this law came into place. Right now, a drug dealer, pimp, or even a kidnapper is just simply deported only to return and prey on us, not you.
Keeping it widely open with next to zero enforcement is not the way to go either.
I wish more immigrants to the US took the Cuban route.

c'mon.. how many on this board were old enough to comprehend the hostage crises, yet are giving their input.
If Iran's wants to put up a symbol and states that its a tribute to an American failure, let them do it. but don't go crying if South Park comes out with an episode making fun of Iran's right wing religious failures - like not being able to capture and kill a little out of shape writer.

Most Hispanic citizens in the state of Arizona are in favor of it." I don't know where you got your stats from, but in hearing from my relatives, we are somewhat in support of it. Again, I will say the reason why a lot of hispanics are in support of it is that for too long, too many criminals have come over the border with no sight being prosecuted, as they are usually just deported only to return. These criminals wreck havoc on our communities - not liberal white gated communities.
I disagree that the big flow is due to jobs, I believe its just a good move to a better location but its what is coming along. Besides, I would prefer we halt all immigration until we get the country on track and get current citizens working, fed and sheltered. Are we really in a position to have such mass immigration at the moment?
However, I do hope this is a short bill and does not prevent PROPER immigration in the future. Another reason why I am support of this as I would like to see this happen in NYC, I lived in Queens for a short time, and the amount of crime coming from Russian mafia is big.
And in all honestly, I don't like this bill. I don't think its meant to be liked, but should we just open the borders up completely.
One note, and I'll say this as a Hispanic, have you checked the immigration laws of Mexico? Much of them are harsher than this bill is.

I, as a hispanic, will support this bill if: 1. They start rounding up illegal Irish and Russians on the east coast. I know, there are a lot of Latino gangs, but come on, they ain't got nothing on the heartless Irish and Russian criminals. 2. Mexican government stays out of the picture. Yes, I'll accuse them of sticking their hands into the businesses that profit out of illegal immigration. 3. employers who have basically been the reason many have entered the country are prosecuted. 4. A clear public notice that if you are sick, you need not be afraid to get medical attention. 5. Kids already attending school are no removed. 6. Some form of consultation on how to become legal. Believe it or not, many still work on hearsay method of news. 7. Since the Obama admin is so hyped on setting up a bigger government, I would like for them to setup an extension that would put Hispanics under the same category as Native Americans. 8. I really want the sanctuaries, holding up Latino gang members from police, to stop.

talk what you want about the guy all you want. He's laughing all the way to the bank. Just checked out the youtube. He's got a good thing. He even getting cash in donations for his cause, what ever it really is, but he's banking and so I thought just for the effort, sign up and send him a bit for the superb entrepreneur spirit. No, I don't like the protest but hey, if you can make a buck then make a buck.
Of course, for those threatened, he should worry about who he offends so I hope he spends his money wisely. Just really gotta give the guys some credit.
