CONFUSED!!! A non-citizen of the USA is fighting for ILLEGAL immigrants?

I carry ID… Everybody I know carries ID… It is the LAW… let me translate.. ES LA LEY, to identify yourself when you are involved in any law-breaking activity.

If you came across the border illegaly GET THE F OUT!!!!!!!!!!

I am from Costa Rica, all latinos in USA is not from Mexico, Latin America has too many countries. Latin people give to USA too many things and we love this country, in my country Costa Rica too many americans go there to live and we permit them to be like costarican people….Why the AMERICAN people can not understand ”latin people just want to work and give a better live to their family” it is easy to understand…here we need a papers to stay in USA, but we wont need them to be with GOD.

Seems Shakira is not a constitutional scholar…hate to break this to her but the constitution only protects US citizens, not those who are here illegally. Also, she clearly has only heard the propoganda about the law…if she read the law, she’d see that what Arizona has done is simply extend what already exists under federal law. Under federal law, any person who is legally in our country MUST carry visas, passports or any other document that demonstrates that they’re legally here and MUST produce these documents if requested by ANY local, state or federal law enforcement official. The AZ law merely requires that their local and state officials MUST ask for these documents when they have a reasonable suspicion that someone is an illegal…Now, reasonable suspicion may mean, for example, that a police officer sees someone jumping over the border fence into the US, but reasonable suspicion would probably not stand if a cop asks someone who looks hispanic or has an accent for their papers…AZ carefully crafted this statute to prevent the law from superceding federal law, which would’ve been unlawful on its face…

It certainly seems that the people who cry for the protection of the constitution are the same group who are attempting to bring this country to its knees. AMERICA FOR AMERICANS….PERIOD!! This country’s politicians need to think about taking care of the people who support the system. Wake up Washington….weather or not you know it or just don’t want to accept it, YOU WORK AT THE PLEASURE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA….. NOT EVERY ILLIGAL LOOKING FOR A FREE RIDE.

Are the cops going to ask blacks and whites for IDs or just the brown people? Whites can be illegal too (europe) and blacks (africa). Most of the people that commented here only talk about mexicans but don’t forget europeans, asian and africans can be illegal too. It just looks like the problems is not been illegal but is been brown. Yes I’m an american citizen I’m also in the army 2 tours in Iraq.

Who?

All those Latinos who voted Republican, now you can wake up and see they don’t care about you. Latinos can be very racist toward other races of people: not letting their kids marry darker people etc. Now you can see for sure, teh white man does not need you so wake up and start voting the right way. I’m from India and dated a Latino guy and his family hated me because I was darker. Ridiculous.

Lesjones: Yes a suspected rapist SHOULD be questioned. But how do you determine who looks like a suspected rapists??? Without description from a victim, you can’t just go up to any man and ask him did he rape a woman! Same with this. Unless you have some proof that the person might be illegal, how are you going to go up to random people and ask for their legal papers??? The Police should be focusing on getting child molestors off the streets NOT doing this extra dumb work. It’s insane. The cops have enough to do. And the fact is, white guys are not going to be stopped. Yet there are MANY illegal Russian immigrants etc in the US. This law is as insane as it is illogical. I respect tighter borders but this is not the way to go about it. Why aren’t they tightening the borders? I’ll tell you why: cause the drugs have to comeinto the country so everyone benefits. Wake up people.

I hate how you people who keep say ” Do you people know what illegal means” i mean come on don’t act like you know what this people have gone throw! How do you know what they know!! I wish you people who hate Mexicans would know what they are going throw and be in there shoes and see what kind of life they lived before coming here!! They just want what you want a better life for you and your children! Its not easy to get a green card or a visa its not easy at ALL!!! I just think need to put yourself in there shoes!!! And leave Shakira alone yeah so what if she’s not a Citizen she just want to help!!

It figures, a NON US Citizen that admits has no idea about our Constitution, our Immigration Laws, or what the MAJORITY of Legal American Citizens want, but is trying to use her so-called celebrity to circumvent our US Laws!
She is definitely not talented enough to be held in higher esteem than our country, and it’s laws! It would be very easy to boycott her “music” in the US!

Shikira,

Arizona is not violating these “Illegal Immigrants” civil rights because they are not citizens of this country therefore they have no legal rights in this country! If they want civil rights in this country then do it the legal way, but only after they have already been deported for already being here illegally, then they can start the “Proper” US Immigration Process if they still wish to!
These people are here “Illegally”, if you know how to use a dictionary look that word up because this country is founded by law, not your celebrity! When you legally become a “US Citizen” then you will have the right to protest, and try to change our US Laws, but not until then!
If you want to use your over-inflated idea of your own celebrity for a “GOOD CAUSE” than protest your own countries exporting of the illegal drugs that kill humans worldwide everyday, not to mention the real civil right violations happening there!
