Rep. Sandstrom told NBC:

“I want people that are here illegally out of the State of Utah”

What does that sound like to you?

Does that sound like Utah?

This state was founded by those who were escaping persecution and in search of a a better life. From 1847 until the mid 20th century, the LDS church through it’s missionary efforts attracted immigrants and facilitated the relocation of thousands upon thousands of “illegals”.

Many in our state are only accepting of Swedish, British, or Canadian immigrants who come to Utah freshly baptized. Has our state become intolerant of Mexicans because they are predominantly Catholic? I’m afraid so.

Lets get to the root of the matter. Many in this state are intolerant of non-Mormons. From day one, Utah as embraced ethnocentrism as an acceptable core belief. That’s why illegal Canadian Mormons are embraced by Utahns, while illegal Mexican Catholics are shunned.

Immigration ……… I have sat and watched, waiting for something to be done. Nothing changes. I side with arizona on immigration. The state of Arizona claims an estimated 450,000 illegals in the state. Yes, thats 450,000. Lets consider 1/2 are working…. thats 200,000 jobs.
Lets now consider 1/2 are on goverment assistance?
lets add $800 month. … Point is, they dont spend money here. they send it back to mexico. Stand around a check cashing center and watch the money pour out on the western union. I could accept immigration if this was the land of plenty…. the plenty has quickly ran out… we are not ablw to take care of the citizens here NOW… you want to argue we need MORE illegals??
How about we just put a no vacancy sign up until most everyone gets stable employment and we pay off china?? THEN we will take the no vacancy sign down. Truth is, the illegals have learned very well how to manipulate our system and get all the benefits of america, without paying payroll taxes and “paying it forward”. The illegals are draining the government services – free medical and housing. Go hang out at the welfare office – watch the cars they pull up in – and they pile out and walk in claiming no money to buy housing or food. They must laugh all the way home! Go hang out at 7-11.. watch the nice new SUV pull up and use food stamps to buy slurpees.
Just put up a wall till we solve our own issues.
Doesn’t have to be forever – Fix the broken system FIRST…. we need a no vacancy sign. Lets fix the system.

For critics of illegal immigration, read this article.

All immigrants legal or not are consumers. They pay rent, pay for cell phones, buy food, clothing, ect. The large majority pay taxes through an IRS tax number given to them. Illegal immigrants cannot collect welfare and other forms government aid. Their children who are citizens can collect aide, but that should not make us upset as most of their parents pay taxes anyway.
They work for less cutting labor costs and boosting productivity.
Deporting 12+ million immigrants would be impossible, and would have a negative impact on our economy.

And there are a lot of other crimes committed daily that I am more worried about than someone working to provide for their family, or buying slurpees with food stamps.
