So Arizona made it illegal to be Mexican.
Arizona is now vying for the title as the country's dumbest and weirdest state, wresting the title from Florida, South Carolina and several other states.
The new anti-immigration law is absurd. It orders police to check the IDs of a people they suspect of being illegal immigrants. I suspect they aren't going to detain a lot of Norwegians.
There is historical precedent for the police being charged with demanding papers from people who look suspicious. What could it be?
What part of "illegal" don't you understand? Using your logic, we should ignore all crimes, since inevitably some people would be interrogated on the basis of physical similarities to the perpetrator, and therefore "profiled."
Having lived in the southwest, which you have not, I have seen first-hand the cost of illegal immigration: closed trauma centers, crime, drug smuggling, gang activity. If you want to see how other countries handle illegal immigration, I suggest you try sneaking into Canada, living without documentation, working in the economy without paying taxes, demanding health care and schooling. You'd find out pretty quickly that even nice, liberal, tolerant Canada won't stand for that.
A nation that cannot control its borders is no longer a nation.
