No, what everyone needs to do is READ THE ACTUAL BILL SIGNED INTO LAW.
If it was written by such white supremacists, then why have they gone to such trouble to insure no racial profiling with the bill and the executive order mandating training for officers?
Maddow, with no other place to go, and seeing that this law even uses some federal clauses verbatim, is resorting to the last resort: Attacking the messenger, just like they tried to do to Ron Paul.
She, along with many illegal immigrants, are getting chomped on by the additional local teeth this law adds to the lame bite of existing federal law. And they don't like it.
The astute ATS reader will disregard the BS, read the actual law, and make an assessment for themselves. With polls saying that 70% of Arizona voters approve of this law, then I guess all those people are racist?
NO!!!!!!!!! They approve of the bill because the fed has not done its job and now their citizens are getting killed. $ 250,000 bounties on border patrol by the cartels. And all the other problems that illegal immigration brings.
OK GhostSoldier. Thanks for pointing me to the path of enlightenment. You sound like you really have a great grip on what is really going on in the world.

red-neck:A white person regarded as having a provincial, conservative, often bigoted attitude.
That's the manner I used it in, and I think it fits pretty well with what these peoples opinions personify.
Its no more derogatory than the law - so I think its warranted.
ETA: The reason they are fleeing their country is because of the imperialistic relationship America has imposed over it. Remember FTA, and all the corporations that raped it to begin with, and the land you stole, etc etc etc.
How about America goes in there and provides an stable economic structure for them to work from, with fair-trade wages and conditions....
Dont be so ignorant of reality.

Yes, I know about NAFTA. That does not mean that you can flush the USA down the moral toilet. I am not NAFTA. The people next door to me are not NAFTA. My employer is not NAFTA. Get it?

Most of the money America gives in charity goes to supporting and propping up orginisations with massive overheads and administrative structures that little real help is ever given to thirdworld countries. Its not just America, its the UK, Europe, Australia, Russia - all of them.
But yes America is responsible for Mexico.
Have you ever heard of the EZLN? I'm pretty sure they want change, but the puppet presidents that America backs blocks that. Mexico is a third world country, that is directly next door to America, and you think that America doesn't bear some culpability for Mexicos poverty?
Do you know anything at all about NAFTA?
Racists are always like - "Oh, I'm not racist, I have a black friend, blah blah blah". That is hollow and shallow, it doesn't mean anything.
What is your Latino friends opinion on this, that is if he even exists, and if he says hes for it, I bet hes opinion changes when he gets spit on in bars and body searched by cops every other week.

So let me get this straight, Obama is a nazi, until you get to hating Mexicans, then it's okay to act like a nazi. visibility911.com...
You people flip flop more than a fish out of water.
You know who should really be checking papers? Employers. Where would these illegal immigrants find work, if not for employers who hire them to save a buck?
BTW, I LOVE refried bean tacos!!!!!
