11:05 am
was really. the way it was. they were worried that he was the leader. the way here on the severe heat wave across the euro it's a russian helicopters the firefighters his accounting. still seem to just move in the directions and take notes it makes the mission more stable cyrene and more accurate. a tough immigration law and our zain is being criticized across the u.s. for allowing racial profiling the low that set to come into force later this month
11:06 am
allows the police to stop and search people he would just suspected of being illegal immigrants critics say it will lead to the targeting of ethnic groups claim the bill will protect jobs which is the. lindo in california found if the illegals are gone that we may want to replace them. under the southern california. immigrant workers are picking the consume that millions of americans and people around the world. it's a bank breaking job not everyone is fit to do most of these workers arrived in the united states illegally from as far as central america and many are oblivious to the political firestorm centered around you know what happened here for leave and you're going to leave any time i mean a lot of this is about lawful citizens versus a legal invaders if you want to build a fifty foot fence i'm in favor of the fifty five eleven million illegal immigrants
11:07 am
in the united states. those could be american jobs those could be tax paying jobs but some industries especially california agriculture businesses don't want americans working for them. which translates into workers needed a spanish language sign definitely aimed towards immigrant workers a foreign based workforce that's making sure that. make it to your table there's no need for interviews or long applications undocumented immigrants simply show up at a field and they're hired many people including former president george w. bush i mean immigrant workers do the jobs americans used to do at a farm in oxnard a city just north of los angeles laborers. the average american could step in their shoes even for a day. to hire a. white person is too hard. i haven't seen any american
11:08 am
here working here in the fields said you'll get it all came into this country illegally through the southern california desert he makes a dollar ninety for every box of strawberries he feels and now in an effort to employ out of work americans and obviously to prove a point the united farm workers union is embodied in american citizens to take the jobs of these farm workers wouldn't be surprised if after a day or two they find themselves appreciating those who are taking the jobs we saw by the unemployment office to find out if people who are out of work would be willing to take the job of an immigrant farm worker a farmer came up. job here as a farm worker. and now. if i had a job that got me out there got me some exercise but no heavy lifting was at least eleven dollars an hour i would take it but i doubt that it's usually
11:09 am
a lot of heavy lifting it doesn't pay too much there farmers and they're willing to pay slave labor of course they have. conservative radio host tony katz is among the growing number of supporters immigration crackdown he thinks that threat to the u.s. isn't just financial it over this is about people who may be coming with diseases we've already eradicated bring them back into the united states america has paid a significant price because of illegal immigration eric spence is the founder of we support arizona dot com he thinks americans will take the job of farm worker because an american will do what it takes to feed their family according to the united farm workers so far only three people have taken up their offer to take immigrant jobs in los angeles. r.t. well conservative author john romano and human rights scientists reverend degraded have crossed. washington there's nothing if they need strict immigration norris
11:10 am
justifying. the whole argument is around the issue of scarcity when you got all of these folks on employed all of a sudden you've got to look for a scapegoat for the reason why folks on employed but that's not the reason why folks ought employ the reason folks on employed is because of the way the economic system was structured wasn't regulated fell apart now the issue that you need to understand is that there's always been this country because of the capitalist system a race to try to produce more for less but it's always been the case so what happens is that you ended up basically outsourcing it's not that folks took jobs we gave away jobs we gave away jobs right there on the mexican border when we passed nafta and we passed all the free trade agreements it was so that people of corporations based in the united states could escape all the kinds of regulations and all the kinds of labor laws that exist within the united states it's the illegals themselves who cause trouble as well as the businesses i mean business is not innocent here business is cost and the american taxpayer billions of dollars through skirting labor laws locally said reverend robert how do you respond and
11:11 am
i'll get i want on a car going just to semantically question one is i don't call anyone a legal because there is no human being that is illegal they may be undocumented get better but it's a theological point of view to understand theological points of views and i guess that's why it's because i don't have a reverend as you reverend i mean what you're talking about in terms of their anti immigrant for is a new word for racism and what you're really talking about are keeping people in the shadows so that people can continue to be manipulated by corporate entities and you never look at the kinds of international policies that the united states has created another place that creates a false immigration to the united states in the first place and the reverend say that all he wants but the it's the word illegal that does count if you're breaking the law you know there is such a thing as illegal immigration the left is doing everything they can to change the fight from illegal immigrant to immigrant the law that has been passed that has been passed in the soon to be implemented in arizona really opens the door to racial profiling because if you believe almost. side of the tracks one of the
11:12 am
things you know everybody always say well the police can stop anybody without a reasonable cause well there's always reasonable cause when it comes to people of color to get stop you driving to shining a car that's reasonable cause you look like you're in the wrong neighborhood that's reasonable cause that's always an issue this is just a new new new form of racism i just want to ask the reverend question should there be any border law at all should anyone be allowed to come here at any time for any reason and stay as long as they want the united states i just cannot get some clarity on that from here sir well the issue is i mean yes of course you want to have some regulation to the border but it needs to be home to maine it needs to be jazz it needs to really deal with where you're going as a country and also need to take into account the kind of policies that you have put in place and other countries that creates or forced economic immigration. together we've got plenty more on our website for you quizzes the blogs holes you can have your say on any issue also course there are many more stories online for you
