Arizona’s New Law

state-flag-arizona Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed the toughest law against illegal immigration in the country, shrugging aside warnings from religious and civil rights leaders — and President Obama — that it would lead to widespread racial profiling.
Hours after Obama denounced the measure as "misguided," Brewer held a signing ceremony for the bill, which makes it a crime to be in the state illegally and requires police to check suspects for immigration paperwork.
Obama signaled that a legal showdown might be possible and that his administration would "examine the civil rights and other implications" of the law. Department of Justice officials said they "were reviewing the bill" but declined to discuss the legislation further. Immigrant rights groups have vowed a court fight, arguing that regulating immigration is a federal matter.
Brewer, at an afternoon news conference in Phoenix, cast the law in terms of public safety, saying, "We cannot sacrifice our safety to the murderous greed of drug cartels." Brewer said she would order the state police training agency to form guidelines to train officers and protect against racial profiling.
Brewer spent as much time during
her remarks talking about diversity and the need to avoid racial profiling as she did about fighting crime and protecting Arizona from illegal immigration. "People across America are watching Arizona, seeing how we implement this law, ready to jump on the slightest misstep," she said.

Damn  right people are  upset about this new law. I am  one of those people who think this law is a huge mistake. I believe by accepting such a law it will turn America backwards.  This  law  can not be enforced with out  some type of racial profiling. If a person speaks  Spanish are the cops going to  ask  for their  green cards?  What about if they are Muslim and they  wear different clothing because of their  beliefs. Will the Cops pull them aside and  say “Hey show me your  green card”  This  law upsets me so much I am shaking. It is absolutely  terrible. God forbid if  you are not white, or if you have a different  skin tone then those around you. This  law is sickening. It is  wrong, and it is unconstitutional. The only  way  this  law will be enforced is by racial profiling  when the governor said  she  doesn’t permit it, how the hell does she think this law is going to be pulled off? How many  rights will be destroyed? This is  like a stone  being  thrown in a pond it  creates ripples. The  ripples  start off small then if you notice they  get bigger and bigger that will happen in the United States because of the law. Are the American people really  ready  for  all the  problems this law will open up?  I  am not in fact it  scares me.
