Well Reich fans, looks like the brown shirts have secured a toehold in our 48th state (admitted to the union on Feb. 14,1912).
Arizona has enacted a bill that is at best unconstitutional. The new immigration bill SB1070 in part requires that all immigrants carry documentation verifying their immigration status. It also stipulates that police officers have the authority to ask to see the information from any individual that is deemed “suspicious” or when there is “reasonable suspicion” that the person may not be legally in the country.
The Arizonan House have also passed a "Birther Bill." Senate Bill 1024, passed with the minimum 31 votes, all from Republicans. The bill would require the Arizona Secretary of State to verify the citizenship of U.S. presidential candidates. Show me your papers.
With apologies to Cole Porter's "Don't fence Me In"
"Oh, give me land, lots of land
Under starry skies above,
Just Lock Them Up.
Let me ride through the wild open
Country that I love,
Just Lock Them Up.
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze-
Listen to the murmer of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever, but I ask you please,
Just Lock Them Up."
I don't pretend to understand all the ramifications illegals have on the economy of Arizona or the other issues involved. I do understand that you don't pass laws that are targeting a specific race for whatever reasons in the USA. Home of the brave, land of the free. Adolf tried it. Now Arizona.
Who's next? I'll tell you, if you show me your papers.
