The Arizona law is not racist. It is about making sure a person in Arizona is here legally. It also places harsher punishment on business that are exploiting illegal aliens.
Read it if you think there is something in it that targets a specific race.
Mexico and Mexican are not even mentioned in the bill at all.
I'm racist against ignorant people that have not even taken the time to read the bill.
www.azleg.gov...
Tell me where it is racist.

I would bet there are close to as many illegal Canadians in Arizona - - as there are Mexican.
No one ever talks about that though - - do they?
Annee, You know as well as me, It's Snow Bird season in Arizona. Phoenix, Quartzsite, Deer Valley, Prescott Valley, Jerome and many other R/V cities are full of our summer quest.

I have given you the links to that actual bills. Now show us where it is racist. If not then at least admit that calling the bills racist is your own opinion.

I did find it interesting that those blinded by their little racist movement could not even grasp the concept of the topic. You throw out a phrase like racial cleansing and they completely lose it out of context. Very sad and interesting. Not too many people around here support free learning though=even sadder. Sadder still is a few good teachers dedicated to in depth knowledge in public schools(I know that sounds impossible the way the system is deteriorating from bad to worse) will lose there jobs during a recession, because of stupid Governor.

I did not miss the subject and point of the OP.
As another poster pointed out - - I also grew up in Southern California, Los Angeles area - - - then moved to SW Arizona. I have been here 20+ years. I have grandchildren in the school district.
Didn't Arizona recently pass an English only law? I know in CA (not sure about AZ) there are cultural laws (mandates - whatever is correct terminology). If you have a student from Ethiopia - - that culture has to be addressed in the classroom.
Point is - - no matter how you twist it - change the wording - change the focus - - - ONLY MEXICAN'S are being targeted.
It is the same as Hitler raiding homes & businesses to identify Jews.
It is racist - - it is profiling a specific race.

Just stopped by to congratulate the Race Baiters. You have succeeded in putting the whole country at each others throats by simply telling lies. Did not vote for Obama, your a "Racist". Want the border closed to Illegals to stop the drug cartels and make it harder for our enemies to get in, your a "Racist".
I'd also like to thank you because you exposed yourselves and your lack of ethics for everyone to see. Now maybe we can get some good people in office.
Race Baiting is such a sick thing to do it's nauseating the majority of us. Or, should I say the intelligent among us.

If a Canadian gets stopped for speeding, and can't prove with the proper documentaion that he/she is not here legally, he/she will be deported back to Canada. It's the law. Nowhere in that law does it say specifically MEXICANS. People like you ASSUME that's what it means because obviously, people like you know that mexicans are the main offenders. Yes?
So does that mean you're racially profiling in reverse? Why, yes, it does.
Peace
