WTH? Is this Operation Wetback all over again or what? I am so frustrated right now over the new immigration law SB 1070! This law (or should I call it a joke?) proposes that if a cop has 'reasonable suspicion' (reasonable according to whom???) that someone is here illegally, this requires the officer to ask that person for proof of legal residency. Immigrants unable to produce documents showing they are allowed to be in the U.S. could be arrested, jailed for up to six months and fined $2,500. Does this smell like BS or what? I think this proposal is as frightening as an empty bank account, this bill basically opens the doors to a form of 'legal', massive, racial profiling against all brown-skinned people, criminalizing compassion and taking us (THE people) back to a bad movie set in the 40's in the southern states of the country. The bill is probably going to bring out the worst out of people, breed violence and more. Not only do I think this is unconstitutional, it is also offensive and discriminatory. According to one of the lasts Colbert Reports, immigrants account for 29 millions of Arizona's economy... I would really like to see what's going to happen to Arizona's economy if, or when they leave!
