Arizona Apartheid - Governor signs bill into law

[Vernon Windsor]

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday signed into law a new state immigration bill that President Barack Obama called "misguided" hours earlier.

Brewer, saying that the state had been "more than patient waiting for Washington to act" on the issue of illegal immigration, said that the bill would protect Arizona citizens without violating individuals' constitutional rights.

The sweeping legislation makes it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It also requires local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegally.

At a press conference to announce her decision to sign the bill, the Arizona governor countered the claim of opponents who have said that the law essentially legalizes racial profiling.

"I will not tolerate racial discrimination or racial profiling in Arizona," Brewer said.

Does anyone think if Arizona people weren't hiring undocumented workers to build their houses, and take care of their lawns and their children, the workers would stay in the state? Talk about hypocritical.

Dont forget that an undocumented alien (one with no valid SSN with a right to work) WILL, as an employee still have social security and medicare with held under his bogus ssn. He will never be able to claim these benefits.
Just another reason the US Govt sits on their hands.
