 Arizona Governor Signs a Controversial Immigration Bill

This is shameful.

"Any reason to suspect" that someone is in the 
country illegally means simply that "anyone who looks Mexican" could 
have their race, language, ethnicity, customs become probable cause for 
questioning.  The idea of "driving while Mexican" used to be a wry, sick
 joke.  Now, it's a cornerstone for "law and order," and it reeks.

I
 hope our local "Libertarians" and freedom lovers join me in condemning 
this bill with all vehemence.  Because if not, the silence from their 
keyboards, fieldhouses, and offices would be deafening, given the 
incessant braying recently about the State's denial of rights, 
pronounced threats to liberty, and an alarming erosion of Constitutional
 and family values.
