The law itself is controversial not because of its implementation, but rather the additions that it made to current law. Those additions are viewed as discriminatory to the point to which opponents of the law states that the provision permit racial profiling. I can agree with that deduction, but I understand the counterpoint of AZ enforcing law already on the federal books. It all seems to be a clusterfuck situation that will eventually move to the Supreme Court.

If the Supreme Court were to uphold the AZ law, it would set a precedent and would create a "Domino Effect" of other states following suit.
Again, people talk about racial profiling like it is a bad thing when it isnt. Race is simply a piece of the profile, not the entire profile. Lets not be PC for a moment and think logically. You are on the Mexican border searching for illegals. You come across a group of latinos walking along a trail 500yards from the border. They tell you, in spanish as none speak a word of english, they are legal citizens just going out on a hike in the desert? DO you believe them? Now, if all of them were white, black, or asian and spoke perfect, american english would your opinion change? I know mine would and maybe 1 time in a thousand I am wrong but I will take those odds.

What additions to current law are you talking about? Forcing local enforcement of the law? How is a that a bad thing? I dont care how things are viewed, I care about what they are. Are there some cops that are going to abuse this law? damn right there are, but thats no reason to ignore the problem. Cops abuse all laws on the books for personal or professional gain all the time, are you saying we should dump those also?
