On Arizona's Immigration Law

I tend to be a hard-ass on immigration. I tend to refer to them as "illegal," not "undocumented," and I favor strict penalties against those who negligently (the current standard is knowingly) employ illegal aliens/

I also understand the reality of the situation, that about ⅓ of illegals in the US entered illegally and overstayed their visas, which means that they are not the stereotypical Hispanic, and that much of the immigration fraud in the US occurs in things like the H1B and L1A visas, who are overwhelmingly not Hispanic, where a significant proportion of the visas are granted in violation of the regulations.

That being said, Arizona's new immigration law sucks. (Google news link)

Basically, it's an excuse for police officers to stop, detain, and arrest people for "driving while Hispanic."

It's standard Republican populist bigotry and racism.
