Thanks for making South Carolina look sane:
The Arizona Legislature has just stepped off the deep end of the immigration debate, passing a harsh and mean-spirited bill that would do little to stop illegal immigration. What it would do is lead to more racial profiling, hobble local law enforcement, and open government agencies to frivolous, politically driven lawsuits.
The bill is a grab bag of measures to enlist law enforcement and government at every level to expose and expel the undocumented. Opponents say it verges on a police state, which sounds overblown until you read it.
It would make not having immigration documents a new state misdemeanor, and allow officers to arrest anyone who could not immediately prove they were here legally. That means if you are brown-skinned and leave home without a wallet, you are in trouble.
[...]
The bill, passed by Arizona’s Republican-controlled House on a party-line vote, has already passed the state Senate and will soon be before Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican. She has not said whether she will sign it.
I feel bad for Arizona’s policemen. Can you imagine asking every brown person for their papers? Arizona should pass a law requiring brown people who are living in Arizona illegally to wear some kind of badge. You know, to help out the police. Then the police could round those brown people up, put them on trains, and ship them to some kind of high security detention center where they can be processed. And maybe Arizona could figure out some kind of work program at these high security detention centers where brown people could work towards gaining legal status.
Yeah, this seems like a much better idea. You know what? I’m going to call Jan Brewer toll free at 1-(800) 253-0883 and tell her my kick-ass plan. I hope she likes it.
