Arizona's brand new law

All right, now, the next thing to cover on the agenda is the new Arizona law. Now, for those of you who happen to live under rocks, or else just don't listen to the news (which I wouldn't blame you for), this law, which was signed by Jan Brewer on April 23rd, makes it a misdemeanor to be an alien without papers. Further, a person can be stopped if they look illegal, whereas before there had to be a resonable suspision that they were involved with a crime. If there is proabable cause, the person may be arrested, and they cannot be released without proof of legality, such as government id, an Arizona driver's liscense, etc. Next, it is a crime to hire or be hired from a "vehicle that impedes movement of normal traffic." It doesn't matter in that case if you are legal or not, if you are from here or not. You may be fined for "encouarging" illigals by giving shelter, hiring, or the like, one thousand a pop. The reason I bring this up is that I have just run across a story that says that the Phoenix Suns will be wearing jerseys that says Los Suns, for tonights game against the Spurs. All right, here goes. I think that the idea of stopping someone based on looks is not the best idea ever concieved. People will probably move the vehicle off the road to hire them. I think that it would probably be better to but an electric fence in. Six hundred ft deep. And a lot of border patrolmen. That just about sums it up.
