So if you want to leave the USA, you need a passport no matter where you go. It's not easy to do.
If you get caught by a cop doing anything wrong, you have to show them your "papers", that is, your driver's license.
Cash a check, use a credit card, well, you gotta show your driver's license. Ya know, proof of identity.
And everyone needs your social security number. Pretty common.
The Federal Government's primary responsibility is to guard our borders. They fail to do that. They have ignored five formal pleas by Arizona to do that. All kinds of illegal immigrants come in take jobs, kill people, live off of your money and mine, and traffic drugs.
Other immigrants come in and do it correctly in the way they are welcome to. Ya know, the Embassy, pass the citizenship test, get "papers", and all is cool. Welcome to USA.
So Arizona has the balls to make a new law calling these illegal people without passports or drivers licenses illegal. Imagine that, needing a law to call someone who is illegal, illegal.
Of course, no one can actually be stopped and questioned unless they've done something wrong. Same as you or me speeding or whatever. The fine print and details of the law are actually incredibly sensitive and fair.
Boy does the Obama regime distain that new law. Said so on the news. I can't figure out why he favors allowing illegal people free wandering? Why you and me need papers, but not them? Unless maybe it has something to do with needing votes? Get them all amnesty and have a batch of several million new voters? Just a wild guess.
They also passed a law requiring that if Obama wants to be on the ballot in Arizona for the next election, he will have to prove his place of birth and citizenship. I guess his papers are hidden and that stuff has never been shown, even though it is required to be a President? Geez, how come you and I can't get away with stuff like that?
Anyway, like em or not, I happen to like em, you gotta admire the politicians of Arizona for having such courageous motions. They got a huge bump in their poll numbers from it, and a whopping 70% of citizens agree with the new laws. That's staggering. It's about time we see politicians actually doing something for the people's wishes and not against.
So a white American is called racist if he says he supports these new laws. But a legal Mexican immigrant, now a US citizen, who says he likes the new laws, well, he's not racist, he's just not a real mexican and is just crazy.
Funny stuff.
I say hurray and cheers to the legislature and governor of Arizona. Doing what's best for their people and doing it with their full support. Wow, what a concept.

Would anyone be willing to try to show bleauberry how he might rephrase that or to encourage him to apologize? You may have the power to help him avoid being blocked again.

Hi Dr Bob,
I am very sorry because I think this came across wrong. The manner in which you singled out that phrase shows that the intended irony of it was not seen by the reader. Please let me explain.
What I meant was this. If a white person likes the new law, which is supposedly bad for illegal mexicans, then the white person is called a racist, as if he doesn't like mexicans and that is the reason he likes the law. Totally wrong, but it's being done in the news. On the other hand, if a mexican immigrant came to the usa and legally became a usa citizen, and they commented that they like the new laws against illegal immigrants because they themselves had the decency to follow the law, the same critics of that white person do not call the mexican a racist. Instead they critisize him as being not a real mexican or being crazy. It's only racist if you're white. A legal mexican can say the exact same thing as a legal white, but only the white is called racist. Is that making more sense now?
Please keep in mind, none of these are necessarily my opinions. This is all from the evening news on several channels.
I do apologize if it was written in a way that it could be misunderstood. I think maybe I should not get involved with the political board until I get my words better. Sorry.
All that said, I cannot think of a more suitable place to express opinions than a political board. Isn't that what political discussions are? Discussing the news? Debating opposing views?
Anyway, sorry. I'll cool it for now. :-)

Implying that some white people might be racist, or that some Mexican people might not be real Mexicans, or might be crazy, could lead them to feel accused or put down.
Keeping in mind that the idea here is not to post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down, could you please rephrase that?
Please feel free to ask others for help. They may have the power to help you avoid being blocked again.

Debating opposing views?If you post something, you're responsible for it even if it's not your opinion, you say it's wrong, and it came from the evening news.
There are civil ways to discuss the news and debate opposing views. Some opinions aren't suitable for posting on any board here.
