If you thought the do-it-yourself anti-immigrant schemes couldn’t get any more repellent, you were wrong. New laws in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina are following — and in some ways outdoing — Arizona’s attempt to engineer the mass expulsion of the undocumented, no matter the damage to the Constitution, public safety, local economies and immigrant families. The laws vary in their details but share a common strategy: to make it impossible for people without papers to live without fear.
They give new powers to local police untrained in immigration law. They force businesses to purge workforces and schools to check students’ immigration status. And they greatly increase the danger of unreasonable searches, false arrests, racial profiling and other abuses, not just against immigrants, but anyone who may look like some officer’s idea of an illegal immigrant.
The laws empower local police officers to demand the documents of people they meet, and to detain those they suspect are here illegally. That means they can make warrantless arrests for assumed civil immigration violations, a stunning abuse of power.

What was the headline? It gets worse? Nope. It gets better.
Change it to drug dealers (since both are criminals) and see how stupid it sounds, observe:

If you don’t have papers, you should not be here. Period. End of discussion. Try going to any other country without permission and papers, including the countries of origin of those who come here without papers, and see what happens to you.
If the illegals who come to this country were likely Republican voters, the NYT would be printing articles almost daily about how these people were law breakers and should be expelled from the country.
As a group, liberals are not, and have never been motivated by compassion and tolerance. They are motivated by their own sense of specialness and self-righteousness.
Yeah, how DARE the American people insist on enforced borders.
We’re heartless bastards.
Hey, I hear circulation for the NY Slimes is in the toilet. I wonder why. Not.
The open border traitors are squealing.
We must be doing something right.
As far as I can see, the only folks who don't have to produce papers are the folks who are here illegally. They seem to be immune from most of the legal niceties which are part of my normal life, I guess they've had it easy.
Whats to stop them from going back from whence they came? Is anybody stopping them?
f you thought the do-it-yourself anti-immigrant schemes couldn't get any more repellent, you were wrong. New laws in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina are following - and in some ways outdoing - Arizona's attempt to engineer the mass expulsion of the undocumented... to make it impossible for people without papers to live without fear.Does this include Obama?
What don’t these “F”ing morons at the NYT understand about the words ILLEGAL Immigrant? Deport them, one and ALL, every one you catch, ALL OF THEM!
no matter the damage to the Constitution, public safety, local economies and immigrant families??????
Projection run amuck!! Who is damaging what and who here?
As teh economy gets worse, we’re going to see more people demanding more and more intense methods of identifying and expelling illegals and high time as well. This time the politicians are actually listening to the electorate and also taking measures. This isn’t some gestapo-esque attack, but a measure that will ensure that people who have no business being here are shoved out and kept out.
WTH? Virginia’s not on the list? McDonnell, you’re slacking.
Must be good if the NY Times hates it
If you thought the do-it-yourself anti-immigrant schemes couldn’t get any more repellent,
Mr Editor, New York Times, you are showing your bigotry in the first ten sentences of your piece;
it is "anti-ILLEGAL immigrant" schemes; as in people who illegally and disrespectfully sneak into another country, exploit the taxpayer's resources, compete for employment, pay no taxes, all without honoring the honest civil orderly behavior that I, our fellow global citizens, and probably even you, subscribe to in every sovereign international border crossing. The transgressors of such all of whom come from a resource-graced, legitimate nation which apparently encourages its less affluent classes to invade neighboring nations. You approve of that?
We have known you as a political agenda-ridden shill, now exposed.

How much is the NYT in debt now?
The NYT inderstand it the same way Marsha Coakley does, and I quote “It is not illegal to be illegal in MA”
Yes, she really said that. Scott Brown, although he won against this lame brain, was not available for comment.
