"Gov. Jan Brewer (R-Ariz.) signed a bill last week authorizing police to question individuals about their immigration status if they suspect they could be in the country illegally."

What do you think about this?

Not only is this a serious violation of civil rights, but it's economically stupid. Do they realize that within weeks there will be a brown skinned US citizen arrested for "looking" like an illegal? So many US citizens will be arrested or questioned about their status, and it will lead to huge lawsuits against the state.

There are some bad illegals out there, but most illegals are not here to wreck havoc. I can't believe we've gone back in time. We're discriminating based on the color of someone's skin. This law is unconstitutional, and should be vetoed!

I support parts of the law, but there's a lot of it i don't support. The part about identifying suspicious people and ask them for their papers, I don't support. I do support Arizona enforcing federal immigration laws since ICE doesn't seem to be enforcing them. I also support the part about being able to ask for someone's papers if they get pulled over.

Good thing that's not part of the law. It clearly states that prior to interviewing a suspect on their immigration status they must already be in the process of a legal stop for another offense.
