Arizona has a new immigration law to stop illegal immigration. If you seriously want to stop all illegal immigration immediately, simply have the IRS seize the financial assets of any employer/business that hires undocumented workers. Now stop and consider the other effects/consequences of doing that. The reality is that business and consumers profit from undocumented workers and they do not want their profits touched by a too tight boarder.

I lived and worked in the Central Valley of California for 23 years. In the summer months, the temperature soars into triple digits. You will find workers from Mexico and Central America hunched over in fields picking crops under a scorching sun. They work for a fraction of what American workers would be paid. Think about that the next time you go to the produce section of your supermarket. What do you think that head of lettuce, or a bunch of grapes would cost you if it were picked by people earning just wages? Is this work that you would be willing to do? Is it work that you would want your high school/college age children & grandchildren doing?

Until the United Farm Workers unionized the workers and fought for decent working conditions, there were no toilet facilities made available to field workers. Drinking water was also not provided. Do you think that such working conditions are fair and just? Would you be willing to work under such conditions? Would you be willing to work under those conditions and be paid what these “illegal” workers are paid?

Yes, if you want to end “illegal” immigration you can, just have the IRS seize the assets of the business that profit from these people’s “illegal” work. That will not happen, because business love profits and consumers love bargains. Yes, even more than “Country” and as for “God,” well our nation’s God has long been Mammon. Jesus is just one of the minor “household deities” who is invoked for victories at the Super bowl. The Bible is read literally by Evangelicals who wish to condemn homosexuals and then simply glossed over when it commands justice and mercy for the stranger in the land.

A law professor once told our class that if you wanted to know the values of a people, read their law codes. The new laws (Domestic Partnerships benefits were also repealed by the Gov. http://www.towleroad.com/2009/09/arizona-governor-takes-away-state-domestic-partner-benefits-says-god-has-placed-me-in-this-powerful-.html ) in Arizona speaks volumes about the Governor and legislature of that state. How the rest of the nation reacts http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2010/0428/Arizona-immigration-law-California-leads-call-for-boycotts , will speak volumes about us. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/28/pima-county-sheriff-calls_n_555895.html
