This is the direction we're going. Sooner or later the states are going to have had enough.
Where is the line drawn? As a nation do we have a definitive line that the Federal Government can't cross any more. Is there a consensus on this? This is what the states need to start discussing.

Fascism would be stopping people on the streets and asking to see papers.
yeah except is is totally acceptable for a cop to ask to see your papers(drivers licence) and everyone else who asks for identification.
so what the hell was the difference?
When a Leftie gets "fierce", what does he do, sing louder?

LOL, had no doubt the madness in Arizona that was this bill, wouldn't hold water. Looks like that hag Jan Brewer is going to have to try again.
Yes because keeping out illegals is just madness? The states should be able to do whatever they deem necessary to keep out illegals if the federal government is going to sit back and do nothing and that is what is going on here. The state of Arizona took matters into its own hands because the federal government wasnt doing its job and now instead of them doing their jobs they would rather waste our tax dollars having the supreme court look at it.
Alienating a good portion of legal citizens in that crap bill they drafted is the madness I was speaking about, but of course most white people don't understand this. They want to cut the influx of illegals go after the people that are employing them don't create a bill that forms a witch hunt scenario for a good fraction of your legal citizens.

Until someone can give a good answer as to why Arizona won't focus on coming down hard on the employers...I will continue to laugh at people who claim Arizona is just trying to protect themselves.

If you are driving a vehicle and violate a traffic law then yes, it is okay for a cop to ask for your driver's license so that he/she may write up a ticket. Driving is a privilege not a right.
It is not okay to stop people doing anything such as walking on a sidewalk because they look "illegal" and ask for their birth certificate, immigration papers what have you. That is Fascist.
So you're angry at the fascism because you see fascism already and the new ruling which reject fascist policy are themselves fascist?

Liberal media....hahaha. You mean Corporate media. Anyway, previous to the parts struck down today, yes a person could be stopped doing whatever...walking down the street, shopping for groceries...anything. And weren't you upset about those provisions being struck down?
The arresting officer would still have to prove probably cause or be held liable. They cant just walk up and say "you look Mexican, Where are your papers". It doesn't work that way but the liberal media wants you to think so.
Mexicans so special they get to do whatever the hell they want to?
