O on topic? The bill is ridiculous bullshit but my voice doesn't count much in US politics as I don't care about political borders in the first place. I feel that people should be allowed to go and work wherever somebody wants to hire them -- worldwide.

I was speaking more of the Tijuana area specifically. As that's the only part of Mexico I've been.

exactly, if i've got the card then i wouldn't care who asked to see it. BAM! there it is.

the only downside is that it could be a hassle for the legitimate immigrants. it's unfortunate that the illegal ones cause these hoops to be created for them but until a better solution is proposed i think some action is better than no action.

i don't see how this is much different than being asked to provide photo ID when dealing with the government or a health card when you visit the hospital. then again i live in a 'socialist' country. basically, if you're going to leech (immigrate illegally, work illegally) and not make an attempt to carry your part the social burden (pay taxes) then i think you should be prepared to be treated like a leech.

Y'know after I posted I realized that you're in San Diego and I thought about Tijuana. A lot of my family are from your area and I've heard some crazy stories but never been there myself.

But if your a Mexican American who's lived here his entire life...

Not that this means anything, just interesting...

Carry on...

"in favor by it's citizens 3 to 1" means it's citizens are 75% in favour; or conversely 25% not in favour

1/3 equals (roughly speaking) 33.333333333333333333333333333333...%

which is interesting because that means there are hispanic who are in favour of the bill.

Umm...whatever.

Then I'd have to show the Policeman a card. I mean it might be somewhat of a hassle but it's just as big of a hassle getting out a debit card or my ID.

No, I mean if you are a Mexican American who hasn't immigrated here, or even just look Mexican, you wouldn't have a card to show.

Well in that case they'll get shot at least twice at close range or beaten relentlessly and then get put here:

For.. ever..
