During all the controversy regarding Arizona's Immigration Bill, it has taking another bad turn as utility commissioner of Arizona issues a power play threat.
Here's part of Arizona Corporation Commission member Gary Pierce's letter to the mayor:
"If an economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based generation.
I am confident that Arizona’s utilities would be happy to take those electrons off your hands. If, however, you find that the City Council lacks the strength of its convictions to turn off the lights in Los Angeles and boycott Arizona power, please reconsider the wisdom of attempting to harm Arizona’s economy."
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is in Washington D.C., meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, but his deputy chief of staff issued the following statement: "The mayor stands strongly behind the city council and he will not respond to threats from the state that has isolated itself from an America that values freedom, liberty and basic civil rights."
These are very bold statements. Although, actions will speak louder than words.
Los Angeles VS. Arizona??
Mexicans VS. Arizona??
VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!
Part 2:
Everyone’s pissing and moaning because the Immigration Bill basically gives Arizona authorities the right to ask Mexicans for documentation to prove they’re legal citizens.
Apparently, it’s the same law that the Federal Government has in the books, but as it turns out, the Federal Government isn’t nearly as bad group of assholes as the state of Arizona is.
But if the authorities in Arizona are going to start IDing Mexicans, the good thing is it’s pretty easy to distinguish between a Mexican American and an illegal Mexican -- but just to be safe, let me explain incase any dimwitted Arizona police officers are reading my blog:
For example, this is a good representation of what an American Mexican may look like:
What an illegal Mexican may look like:
But I understand the concern in Arizona. The idea of thousands of people from another country sneaking into our country is sort of a scary thought. But it’s not like we’re talking about members of the Taliban crossing the borders with WMDs in their backpacks or anything like that.
We’re talking about proud & hard-working people. All I can say, since I’ve lived in Los Angeles, I’ve never once seen a homeless Mexican.
You know why I’ve never seen a homeless Mexican? Because they’re too fucking busy working eight jobs to be homeless. If for some strange reason, a Mexican were actually homeless, they wouldn’t have any time to sleep on the sidewalk because they’d be too busy sweeping it & collecting recyclables.
Sure, there’s always gonna be a couple of bad apples in the bunch, but like I said, 99% of them are honorable, hard-working people. Lets be honest, they’re not taking many jobs away from Americans -- at least, jobs that any Americans are willing to do. Most Americans are too good to do any of the tasks that illegal Mexicans are willing to do to put food on their tables.
Although their wages aren’t being taxed, illegal Mexicans still contribute to the economy every time they go to Wal-Mart or DMV because they bought a used pick-up truck, etc.
All Mexicans want is a better way of life – and you can’t blame them for coming here because that’s the American dream we’ve been advertising since this country was created in 1776.
It’s no wonder Mexicans are willing to risk their lives crossing the border to get into our country:
-The Mexican government is corrupt
-The drug cartels are terrorizing citizens
-Too many unimproved/non-paved roads
-The oceans and airports in Mexico smell like raw sewage -- which is a polite way of saying "shit".
I don’t know how you guys feel, but if I lived under those conditions I’d want to leave my country, too. And to be quite honest, living in Arizona isn’t much better, but at least it’s in the United States.
