Now I know I typically do not discuss politics (and that I have been lacking in my posting), but I heard this today and just could not believe it. Arizona’s governor Jan Brewer recently signed a new immigration bill that will permit the police to question anyone that “looks illegal” and request proof of residency. Now while this only provokes racial profiling, the bill further states that it is a misdemeanor to be caught without immigration papers. It also “allows” citizens to sue their local government if they feel this law is not enforced as much as they believe it should be enforced.
Can I sue them from Texas for injustice? Can I sue the Arizona state government for being ridiculous?? What’s next? Will all Mexican-Americans be forced to wear the Mexican flag on the outside of all their clothing? I can already see a news story about a Hispanic teen, born and raised in the US, whose parents were born in the US, whose grandparents MIGHT have been immigrants, filing a police brutality report because stemming from his choosing not to carry his drivers license one day.
Not to mention, I believe Hitler also made it illegal for Jews to be out without carrying identification paper. Hmmm…??? Do I see a trend? I do hope something is done about this stupid law… and fast… because it is JUST RIDICULOUS!
