The federal government today filed a lawsuit to overturn Arizona's new immigration law that has sharply divided a state and a nation. Arizona's law requires law enforcement to verify the status of anyone they suspect may be in the state/country illegally. How can you tell? This law doesn't just promote racial profiling, it demands it. Not only must immigrants carry their alien registration documents at all times, but the potential exists for US citizens of Latin descent to be detained by authorities simply based on their ethnicity. It's legalized discrimination and it's wrong. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, a modern-day George Wallace, called the federal lawsuit “nothing more than a massive waste of taxpayer funds.” Protecting human rights is never a waist. Yes, responsible immigration reform is needed, but racism is never the way to go. The Arizona legislature and Jan Brewer should be ashamed… Your asinine law is going down. added by: lucasives
