Wagon Jumpers

A mini editorial

The signing of 1070 by our governor here is Arizona is causing quit a national upheaval.

And why? Most of the people speaking against this issue I classify as wagon jumpers

Anything newsworthy or controversial they are right there protesting sleeping out and yelling out slanderous statements at the arbitrators’ of the legislations.

I don’t think that most of these wagon jumpers even bother to vote let alone know the true details of the issues that they call themselves opposing. They just see the chance to be a part of something and launch right in that goes from the man on the street to big time lime lighters.

1070 has to do with people being in this country illegally, which is a big problem. Just like at your home you have to be careful who you let in. it’s nice to be able to help your neighbors and invite someone in for a warm bed and a meal now and then. But invite the wrong person in and you get robbed injured and maybe murdered. Illegal immigration proposes the same scenario only on a much larger scale.

One of my neighbors has a son that comes to the USA every few years to visit. Every time he comes he has to leave in a hurry because while he was here he has either burglarized someone or molested a child, then ran back to Mexico. This last time she had to send him to Canada, he couldn’t even go back to Mexico

he had done so much wrong even there. And ranch owners along the border are constantly terrorized by invaders and marauders from across the border. Also all illegal immigrants are not from Mexico, some are from countries farther away, we just do not hear as much about them and their problem causations.

All of this is just skimming the surface of the problem.

There maybe out there somewhere an all inclusive unisatisfactory means of vanquishing this problem but until then lets try something and quit knocking down potential fixes before we even open the box and start putting them together. Nothing is perfect but we can try to make it so.

And those bored, under informed, non-voting wagon jumpers need to go get a life.

    US spend so much time helping the immigrants and not their own people and now that they see them as a threat they want to get rid of them. Rules, guideline and regulations there is a reason for them if they would keep up with the illegal immigrants they wouldn’t have this problem now. Good post.

    I must confess being far away from Arizona, I don’t understand much of the problem, but well raised.

    I’d rather be a gypsy than a wagon jumper.
