Arizona immigration law....

[bu villain]

So you are saying that absolutely nothing changes with this law, but you are still against it. Is this just because Obama says its bad? None of your arguments even come close to justification for your hate.

You must have misunderstood me. It makes it so racist cops have a defense for harassing latinos.

How does this law have anything to do with commerce? This is an law to kick illegals out of the state/country. If anything, AZ's previous law that allows the state to go after businesses that hire illegals would fall into this category, yet I havent heard a single word about that law.

It has to do with commerce because an illegal workforce will have a huge impact on wages and prices nationally. Why do you think the government can make growing your own weed illegal even for personal use? It's the same reason. You can argue that it goes against the original intent of the constitution but you are fighting against decades of case law. Additionally, there are many laws that exist that the goverment could probably overturn for similar reasons but let's stick to this law for now.

And yes, this law IS constitutional. There is nothing that impedes the feds from enforcing immigration law. The law specificly rules out profiling (to appease the PC crowd). This law doesnt even add anything to federal law, it simply requires state police to check immigration status. Anyone that is against this law is clearly stating they are in favor of criminal activity and just as clearly stating that they are against securing our southern border.

I already explained why it impedes the feds from enforcing the immigration law IN THE WAY THEY SEE FIT. I don't know why being against the words of one law means someone is against securing our border. I am all for checking status when applying for jobs or in many other cases where all people are treated equally. I would even be more supportive of this law if it just said that police had to check every person they pulled over.
