passing a law with racist overtones accomplishes nothing.

Calling frightened people racists because they don't embrace the liberal agenda is absurd and I shouldn't waste the keystrokes pointing it out.

How do you think AZ's Latino American citizens feel when they get stopped by the police? How do you think the Latino Ameircan citizen who was dragged down to immigration by a cop feels? It seems to me the only POV that concerns you is the white Arizonian. Well AZ is 1/3 Latino. They should have rights as well.

"Racist" used to mean something very bad. Racists burned churches, hung young black men. Gassed Jews. Denied a class of people voting rights and the dignity all are entitled to. Now it is tossed around by fools who have no better argument.

Racism does not have to be violent. Discrimination isn't violent but its as much racist as cross burning.

To compare frightened people to those monsters of years past is an insult to your intelligence. Go ahead and call Arizonians racist. Go ahead and call me one. Why would I care? It's so worn out its lost its sting and it only scores points with the politically correct crowd anyway. You don't care about this problem so I see no value trying to change your mind. We're not trying to convince you any more. We're out to beat you.

I do care very much about this problem. I want illegal immigration stopped. However I do not see suing cops because you don't think they are trying hard enough or even letting cops cope with this problem is the way to solve the problem.
