Arizona law takes effect thursday

I know this though, if I wanted to immigrate to another country I would basically have to be a doctor or engineer or something of that kind. I know, I have looked into it several times.

Yeah, Americans are rich already. They won't emigrate unless they've got amazing jobs elsewhere.

I could be wrong, but I think Octopod was actually referring to the tight immigration restrictions that a lot of countries have. Many countries such as New Zealand which have very strong social services programs have much tighter immigration restrictions than the United States. Often, they'll only take you if you offer a skill that they particularly need, and if you're above a certain age, you're completely out of luck. I believe this is somewhat true in the United States, but to a much lesser extent.

Yeah, that is what I was talking about.

Injunction junction, what's your function?

This law will be on hold until the obama administration can shut it down. It's just Arizona trying to make a point. Hopefully the new federal immigration standards will be better after all of this.

Hopefully Arizona will prevail. This whole debacle is an embarrassment.
