Arizona, a couple of weeks ago, was dumb. If a policeman stopped a van for speeding North from the border, with no plates, the driver and all 20 passengers speaking zero English, he couldn't ask any of the passengers if they were in the country legally.
Now, with the new law in Arizona, he can. This, apparently, somehow, is racist and racial profiling and Al Sharpysharp head asplode.
United States federal law requires that non-citizens visiting the country MUST carry on their person, at all times proof of their legal status in the country. Mexico has issued an advisory telling their citizens to carry their immigration or visa paperwork with them, or risk arrest by the US authorities. I see this as a hugely positive development. The dinosaur news media outlets are trying to spin this into some horrible thing, but it is *exactly* what Arizona would have wanted from Mexico anyhow.
Great success. How's that n+1 foot ladder coming along?
