Arizona Immigration Law's Most Contentious Section Can Now Be Enforced By Police, Judge Says

...Now this law can be tested and we can see if it will work.

...Maybe more states will pass this law.

...Lawyers for GovernorÂ Brewer urged the judge to let the requirement go into effect. They argued that the law's opponents were merely speculating in their racial profiling claims, that police have received training to avoid discriminatory practices and that officers must have "reasonable suspicion" that a person is in the country illegally to trigger the requirement.

...The numerous details are in the news link below.

I fear for all residents of Arizona whose skin is darker than a vanilla latte, from the local Starbucks.

I agree with you.

There is bit in one of the Wayans brothers movies in which a couple of black guys go into a store. The store spends the entire time harassing them and hovering over them, because supposedly they are more prone to steal, all the while a white man goes around the store stuffing his bag pack and pants with merchandize. I see the “show me your papers” in Arizona akin to this. The too tan for Arizona’s taste crowd will be harassed while the non Mexican illegals will be given a pass.

I am white.
ANd where I lived in ST Louis, was about 90% black.
I got the same "treatment" like you described. ANd I do not have a reason or need to steal.

If the feds did their job, we wouldn't have to go through things such as this.
