Here is video from Morning Joe today, where Joe Scarborough actually likened the new Arizona Anti-Illegal Immigration Law to Nazi "Guards" demanding, "show me your papers." Scarborough said that even he - as an anti-amnesty person - "is offended by this," and said it will be a "nightmare for Republicans" in 2012 if they are identified, as Chuck Todd described it as, "the Party of 'Show me your papers.'"
This analysis is beyond over the top. The Arizona law is essentially what the Federal Law already is, but it is not being enforced. To equate what Arizona is doing to what the Nazis did, is insulting and ridiculous.

Joe Scarborough has been a deep disappointment. I wonder what the ture story is behind the staffer who was found dead in his office?
I also wonder what he really knew about Chandra Levy and Gary Condit?
wouldn’t a driver’s license suffice? If our states are not differentiating citizen from non on our licenses, then than needs to change immediately. It has a code to indicate a need for corrective lenses, type of license, etc. Am I to assume an illegal alien can get a driver’s license that looks like mine as a citizen but somehow can stay under the radar for everything else. If so, seems like they can easily register to vote, and do a myriad of other things a citizen can do, but not pay taxes or be required to do anything else a citizen is required to do.
Pull up to the day labor pickup point in plainclothes/unmarked car and yell "migra, migra"! Anyone running away has given probable cause to check their status. Repeat as necessary.
The only "conservative" they ever have on is Pat Buchanan, and he represents only one isolated strain of conservatism ( he should be on, but bring in some conservative congresscritters also, or Rush). I am glad his book failed (it was hoped that it would position him well for a run for the presidency--IMO).
Great tag line!
Joe Scarborough is such a jerk. A RINO jerk. I’m glad he’s a FORMER Republican Congressman. He’d fit better with the Democrats....
They aren't, at least not in the two states that I've held driver's licenses the last 10 years - VA, FL and OH.
"Am I to assume an illegal alien can get a drivers license that looks like mine as a citizen but somehow can stay under the radar for everything else."
I believe in some states - like California - they can. Moreover, let's say someone was here legally, but at some point in the future, their visa expired. They would now be here illegally, but their driver's license obtained earlier, would still be good until the expiration date.
Not true. Nazis, and the Soviets, required you to show papers to move intranationally as well as internationally.
I liken Joe S. to J. Goebbels.
Mika is kinda doable
Thank you... I wanted to get a shirt made up with that and wear it to a tea party.
That’s odd, back in the day when Americas enforced their immigration laws, those people weren’t called Nazis.
I understand your worry that this could lead to a national ID card. However, I trust the state more than I trust the fed.
FUjoe... and all of your mslsd cohorts... and yo momma.

It will require anyone whom police suspect of being in the country illegally to produce "an alien registration document," such as a green card or other proof of citizenship, such as a passport or Arizona driver's license.
So it sounds like a DL will suffice. Granted not all states require a BC to get a DL, but nothing will be fool proof. Also, I'm sure police could abuse this law, but they can abuse many laws. We rely on them to exercise common sense and to not be _ssholes.

My prediction - there will be a flood of civil suits based on false arrest, costing AZ millions to defend. All you have to have happen is for an arrest to be made of a US citizen - put a fork in it, it's done. I'm am sure that they'll will be plenty of advocacy groups putting out pigeons, hoping that this very thing happens.
I understand the emotions connected to this issue. But, like most legislation that is passed in emotional times, the unintended consequences are fully understood or accounted for.
Jan Brewer could run for President and win.
The American people are so sick of elitists telling us we are racist and now “Nazis” for wanting our borders enforced and laws obeyed by illegal immigrant invaders.
True, but the KEY was to keep Jews from leaving, not to prevent wanna-be Nazis from coming in. Totally different situation than in AZ.
