follow the law until it's changed.

no matter what your views on bourders and illegal people entering the states, boycotting one of our own states in corporate, traveling, sports, high school tournaments has got to stop. Arizona is following the law! !!!!and is being punished for it.  There is a reason people who are here without proper papers are called illegal.  It is against the law ILLEGAL!  My husband is from England, my best friend from Panama, a very close friend from Guatemala and many more in my life but they all have the right to be here and have worked hard go be here. I don’t understand why people believe that up holding the law or believing you have to be here legally makes a person a racist or uncaring. If you are here illegally then you do not have the rights of people here legally. It’s that simple. There is no middle ground.  But students that win a tournament, family’s or businesses, Arizona tourism that people count on to feed their family’s suffer because we are allowing ourselves to pick and choose the laws that are followed.
California is suffering due to illegal people that are receiving benifits that the people that are Californian can’t get for their family’s because we are broke.
I am all for anyone that wants to have a better life and do better for their families but at what price? I am not understanding why the word illegal is so hard to understand and how so many forget there is a reason for proper channels. Other countries have laws of naturalization and no one bats an eye when in Mexico if your caught coming over the bourder illegal you are shot. Dead. But they say it’s unjustifiable for us to send back their citizens. Could it be because there biggest source of income is coming from the states in way of people working here illegal and sending the money back.
I know this is an extremely hot topic but until the law states it differently people who are here illegal are criminals, hence the word illegal.
