Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a state bill Friday that requires police to determine whether a person is in the United States legally, which critics say will foster racial profiling and discrimination but supporters say will crack down on illegal immigration.
The Republican governor also issued an executive order that would require additional training for local officers on how to implement the law without engaging in racial profiling.
"This training will include what does and does not constitute reasonable suspicion that a person is not legally present in the United States," Brewer said after signing the bill.
Previously, officers could check someone's immigration status only if that person was suspected in another crime.

...the only reason Obama is so against this is it will force his hand on illegal immigration.Could it be that Barry Sotero is himself an undocumented worker?

I had thought AZ was too far gone, but kudos to them. They may be the first state to bring themselves back from the brink of elimination. California is way gone...New Mexico has tipped...Texas better get a hold of its britches before they find themselves with a socialist majority via illegal immigration.

Obama better not go to Arizona. He can't prove that he is an American Citizen.

You got it. We need to get the word to Governor Perry to submit a similar bill to the Texas Legislature.

Cool . . . does this mean if Obama goes to Arizona the LE can ask him for his papers?
To: tobyhill
I'm pretty darn sure a Federal judge will issue a stay upon the first complaint by a legal resident of hispanic origin.
The accusation will be racial discrimination...and the law will be tied up in the courts for YEARS.

Arizona will need to start immediately to figure out what it can do, legally, if the Federal Government attempts to over ride their new law. Obama will surely attempt to step in. King Obama is a fool to try. The uprising from the conservative States would really upset the little rat face. It's time to move and this might be the opening..

Texas and California just became a little more crowded.

I don’t trust that hispanics will be targeted, officials will go out of their way to only target white men and old ladies like the TSA. American citizens should not hear the phrase “Papieren, bitte.”

The kids and California import protesters are rioting at the State House, according to another post...Rioting because...horror of horrors!...the law might be enforced! Sometimes I wonder if there is any hope for this country.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
Good to see a Governor listening to her people. What was priceless, was after "The One" yammered on and on, about how this wasn't going to be good for America, she knew it would be the best thing for America, and put her Jonn Hancock to it.
