"No Problemo"

Well many people, mostly hispanics have their pants in a bunch over Arizona's new law enabling law enforcement officers to ask for proof of citizenship from any person if they have reason to believe the person might not be a citizen. Of course it's mostly hispanics and bleeding heart liberals that don't live in the southwest, that are screaming "racial profiling", "harassment", "civil rights violation" and so forth. What's really being said is:We don't want law enforcement officers in Arizona to stop, check and potentially deport illegals. Of course you don't!

However:
1. It's not racial profiling unless you are willing to believe that the vast majority of the 20 + million illegals in America are from Sweden, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, South Africa and Egypt. Anyone with any clue knows that the vast, vast majority of illegal people in this country are hispanic. Most of those illegal hispanics are in New Mexico and Arizona. If you are asking someone for their id in those 2 states chances are great it's going to be an hispanic. It's not racial profiling, it's logic. Racial profiling would be if a black man is walking down Rodeo Drive in Bev. Hills and a cop thinks: there shouldn't be black people over in this part of town so I better stop him. Stopping a group of hispanics standing on or near a street corner in Winslow, Arizona for id to prove they are here legally is not racial profiling.
2. Violation of civil rights....uh...NO. Look, if I am walking down an alley at 1am and a cop stops me and asks for ID and wants to know what I am doing there, they are doing their job not harassing me.  Besides, if you aren't supposed to be in the country and you are, what civil rights do you have? Don't confuse "being nice" with enforcing the law.
3. Harassment? Even a Harvard professor was asked for his ID on his porch. Harassment is going out of your way to bother someone especially if you know they aren't breaking the law. A large percentage of hispanics living in Arizona are there illegally so asking one for proof of citizenship is reasonable. Hey, don't be offended, just show them your driver's license or ID card and be on your way.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said they would have policies in place to avoid profiling and / or harassing anyone. Let's see what they do. Let's see how many legal citizens get stopped vs. the number of illegals stopped.

As Governor Brewer stated, Arizona is a preferred border ( to sneak over) by illegally entering "persons. Arizona  has patiently waited for the Federal Government to do something about it. Where has Senator McCain been the last 15 years? Why hasn't he demanded laws to protect his own state? The Government has done nothing to help Arizona and so Arizona has the right to protect itself. My question is this: Would all the people upset over this Arizona law, be just as upset if the illegals in Arizona decided to leave the state and move into your city and county?

Finally, the impact of illegal entry on Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas cannot be understated. Easy for people in say Maine or North Dakota to cry foul but the sheer cost of having millions of illegals in these states is crushing them.

Still think it's "unfair" to ask suspected illegals to prove they are American Citizens? Try sneaking over the border in North Korea and see what happens; try loading up 15-20 americans into a van and running roadblocks to get into China and see what happens. What do you think would happen if you rowed ashore in Cuba and asked for assistance? Other countries simply don't tolerate illegals causing any problems of any kind. But the politically correct, bleeding heart, do-gooder America looks the other way even when they know it's a major issue that needs and has needed addressing for so long. America it's time to stop being the world's babysitter and make many of these countries grow up and take care of their own. I applaud Governor Brewer and the Arizona legislature for passing this law even if the mostly  politically correct myopics say otherwise.
