I am getting the feeling that those who are applauding this law are the same Freepers who thought all the Bush power grabs were a great idea as long as a Pubbie was in the House and now think the Federal government has too many powers. Obama has gotten NO new powers; only what he inherited from Bush/Cheney. This law is a slippery slope for the thought police. If you look like a bad guy you can get arrested and questioned. I appreciate the goal, but highly question the means. Too much concentrated power is a bad, bad thing. Much worse than illegal immigrants can ever do. Myopia of emotion will be the death of the real conservative movement
I understand what you’re saying, but when a mushroom cloud appears over one of our major cities and it turns out that the perpetrators snuck in through the border, Arizona’s new law will look quaint in comparison to what the public will demand from their representatives.
