Again for Illegal Aliens

I think the way we think about SB1070 is inappropriate--we barely think standing in other people's shoes.  Like how the police in Arizona perceive this policy and how they did it (I was told that they didn't stop people as frequently as thought).  And how the Arizonian think about it.  We should think before talking about it.

Some bossiness such as meatpacking plants or farms usually hire illegal immigrants to lower the costs.  Of course it works.  But sometimes by our perception, it is just inhumane.  Just like the people from the sweatshops.

But they are making a living!  To survive here, they just have to.  Plus, this society is rational, meaning that somebody gotta do some jobs at a bottom position.  This situation will be changed gradually by the replacement of technology.  Anyway, would it ever hurt to have them to work here?

Their wages are low.  But every coin counts when a people is making a living.

They certainly drain some society resources, meaning that I should lower the number of 12 million.  Just find a balance, and then let go.

  1. I agree. I feel somehow the same, like "take it easy, guys." Even 12 million is not so much. It is less than 0.5% of American population. And among those 12 million Mexicans comprise 59%. This is the majority, but still there is 7 million undocumented people from other countries.
