Please indulge me as I step on my soapbox:

On Friday, April 23, 2010 Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law SB 1070. This bill is designed to identify people suspected of being an illegal immigrant, detain, prosecute, and deport them. This bill will go into effect in less than 90 days and when it does it will be THE harshest anti-immigrant law in the United States.
In a nutshell this bill will require that all Arizona Law Enforcement Officials demand proof of citizenship of ANYONE suspected of being an illegal immigrant. If said suspect cannot immediately show citizenship documentation said suspect will be arrested.

The government of Arizona has turned their law enforcement officers into their Political Fascist Police. This will undermine the trust that honest police officials have worked so hard to create with their communities.
