This is actually inevitable. With what is happening in the world today, prices of goods and supply and also the wages will definitely be affected.

You never know what is REALLY going on with these politicians. One part of the administration says one thing, then another part says another.

Good for you, Matt. I was surprised when I receive their updates email and noticed that they had politicized their site like that. How very unprofessional.

I was just getting ready to download the Yelp app when I saw a comment regarding Yelp insulting the Tea Party movement. Instead of jumping the gun, I wanted to be sure that this was fact based and not just an angry Yelp user. It turns out that Yelp did decide to take a political pot shot at the Tea Party. My question to Yelp: what did you stand to gain? I own my own business and I would never direct political puns or otherwise at any of my customer base. That goes for left, right and center of the isle. Although I am not associated with the Tea Party, I thought this was in poor taste. I removed the Yelp application from my phone as well as removing it from my computer browsing history, cache, cookies etc.

Act before it is too late for your state. California is a lost cause. It is overrun with the poor of our southern neighbors. They have sucked us dry. Your turn is next.

Have you even been to Arizona lately? I swear to God it looks like Tijuana. There is a definite need for this new law!

I just read the best reaction to the immigration law ever on CNN. Awesome! "OK... so a cop's title is "Law Enforcement Officer"... in order to be an "Illegal Immigrant" you have to be breaking the law of the United States of America... why would we not expect our "Law Enforcement Officers" to enforce the law of the United States of America? This is not a racist statement, this is not an anti-immigrant statement, I'm not a tea-partier, Im a slightly left of center gay American whose partner of 8 years is a Canadian. My partner goes through a massive ordeal in order to stay in this country legally, which he does... Im not able to sponsor him for permanent residence, and there is no legal pathway for him to gain permanent residence... so for now we live with renewing his temporary status based on his job and NAFTA, hoping for either an employer willing to sponsor him for permanent residence (a 5 year long, very expensive process) or the repeal/invalidation of DOMA, or the passage of the UAFA bill. He has to prove his legality in this country quite often, and is required to have his passport with proof of his legality on him at all times... I am more a victim of discrimination, as a US Citizen who cannot sponsor my permanent partner for US residence, than these illegal aliens who are breaking the law of the united states"

When Shakira stated "that I am pretty much undocumented" is absolutely ridiculous. She came to our country with documents. When entering into the United States legitimately you must show your passport, which Shakira certainly did. By challenging Arpaio to come and get her because she left her passport at her 5 star hotel clearly indicates Shakira does not understand the Arizona Senate Bill 1070. By Shakria not carrying her passport or identification does not mean she will be arrested. One must engage in illegal activity to be arrested and asked for identification, which most likely Shakira will not be engaging in illegal activity. For someone to rally other individuals without fully understanding the SB 1070 is irresponsible. People (including Shakira) need to take the time to fully understand the law before grand standing to an audience who expects her to be informed. Shakira should respect the United State's freedom of speech and should be fully educated on the law before leading an emotional charged crowd. This law is not new, it is enforcing what is already in place by the Federal Government. It is a Federal crime to be an illegal alien thus the term "illegal alien." Crime has become an increasing problem in Arizona. The law is designed to punish criminals for being criminals not for being illegal immigrants. Which all members of our community should embrace. If the Federal Government would take illegal immigration seriously there could be alternatives for this law. But the Federal Government ignored Arizona's immigration problem and decided they could not rely on the Federal Government for help. Arizona's actions are directed against the members of the immigrant community that are criminals. Anyone, citizen or non-citizen, should agree that the increased violence around our boarders needs to be addressed. Immigrants and citizens need to work together to reduce crime. Shame on you Shakria for further inflaming a passionate subject that should be addressed rationally. Shame on you everyone else for not educating yourself on the SB 1070. For those of you that want to be educated you can read the full law here
