Okay, Sharpton, you been to the white house and you are now on board with Obama's immigration policy. Shame on you Sharpton, I thought you had integrity. You are a typical, lying-a$$ politician. The majority of Americans are not for continued immigration. Americans need jobs now, not cheap labor from Mexico or anywhere else. Coincidentally, the wages are not that cheap either especially when you consider these immigrants receive medicaid and medicare. This immigration is a reason for many problems the american people have had to face: wage depression, over-crowded schools, citizen alienation, the threat of not having enough money to pay social security to american citizens who have been working and paying into this system all their lives while immigrants are given SSI AND MEDICAID/MEDICARE, just to name a few. The American people were getting it together in the sixties. The 1964 Immigration Act, among other "reforms" changed all that, culminating with the abolition of certain financial laws to protect the people from financial ruin and allow international involvement in america's financial life. Stop pushing the notion that america is a nation of immigrants. what about us who are not immigrants. What are we, chopped liver? America is a nation with a culture; a culture contributed to by americans of all races.

Sharpton is right! But it would be better if every Latino in football, baseball and any other sport would boycott the State of Arizona. Folks listen when you hit them in the pocket.

Yet, Arizona has a point. Someting should be done about illegal immigration. You can't put toothpaste back in a tube, though. Bring the troops home from Afghanistan and put them on the south border until congress gets it's butt in gear and makes good legislation about this issue.

And the Republicans need to shut up! Now they want to say no to this issue when it's an overdue issue. I think congress should cease and desist on the misguided probe into drugs in baseball (irrelevant to the safety of this country) and pay attention to something important such as the immigration debacle. No racial profiling. Please!!!

To be absolutely honest, and as an African American, I have to wonder if and if so, how much Rev. Al Sharpton is being paid for this new project, and through which back door the money/funding coming from.


It is my personal opinion that if Rev. Sharpton wanted to really benefit the African American Community, then he would start a "National Conversation" to let this Administration know that VATs [Value Added Taxes] will effectly destroy the Black community, if--more specifically--"when they are forced down upon us.


Does Rev. Al Sharpton believe that the possibility of having to pay up to a possible 20% on each gallon of gasoline, or, on certain food and other commodities take precedence over this new project in Arizona??


In fact, why would any American citizen regardless of ethnicity support "Illegal" immigration?


And, if Rev. Sharpton lived in any of the border states then he would immediately understand that at the present time this issue threatens ALL of our national security far more than the prospect of a nuclear war or Al Quaida.


Also, is the rumor true that Rev. Sharpton is about to "invest", through the back door, in Charter Schools to get in on the "money" from "Rise To The Top"???? It's something that I heard last week and I really would like to know.


I wish that Rev. Sharpton would stop acting similar to what I personally view to be a "Political Pimp", because after all, isn't it true that the Black Community has been pimped enough?? We are tired of being political prostitutes.


It is now time to engage our energies and resources on those issues that directly affect "us", so, again in my own personal opinion, if Rev. Al Sharpton wants a list of things to "enrage" us about, then he should Post and article so that I can give him my very long List.


In other words, NO ONE, from the State Houses to the White House is speaking for "US" at this time, and my "cousins" need help.


Throwing us a few "Government Entitlements" is an afront to the notion of "Change", and it discourages us from success and independence.


So please tell Rev. Al Sharpton to turn his plane around and let it land in the Black Belt so that he can see for himself the condition that our Black Political Pimps have provided for us.


And after his trip to the Black Belt, Rev. Sharpton should let his plane land so that the "Manchild In the Promised Land" can tell him that it isn't, has't been, and doesn't seem like it will be "promising" at anytime in the near future.

***Manchild in the Promise Land is a novel that was written in the late 60s****


So no, I will not personally aid or abeit any continued prostitution of the Black Community for those who "speak to us" but not for us. The "money agenda" has to end.

Why would an illegal alien come to Arizona anyway??? Because they will GET HIRED!!! The problem is NOT them coming to the U.S, the problem is greedy employers will hire them to save money on paying REAL AMERICANS. If they had no jobs to come to would they still come? That is the question. I believe this law is discrimanatory and racist to the core. The police will NOT pull over any blonde hair blue eyed suspects leading to massivie profiling of people of color...that being said, Why aren't we punishing the employers that hire illegals???? According to their hiring practices a green man from mars could work in Arizona..
