Let the Profiling Begin!

Posted: 11/13/10 01:54 PM ET

Newly re-elected Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 back in April of 2010. The law essentially obligates Arizona police officers to stop and ask for US citizenship documentation from anyone who looks Latino, thereby making the assumption that appearing Mexican makes a person a potential illegal immigrant.

A lot of people called that racial profiling.

But in the video below, some people came to a different conclusion. If all Latinos could be illegal immigrants, than all Caucasian, blond women could be the Governor of Arizona.

This is just the beginning. First immigrants, then gays, uppity women, "libs"...the list is endless for exploitation for the right.

The author is either ignorant or an out and out liar. No AZ officer will or may stop anyone just because they look latino, thus an illegal. The officer must have a reasonable cause or suspicion that the person, of any color or background has committed a crime. Only then may the officer question the nationality and legality of the suspected criminal. LIBERALS QUIT LYING. obama started this cr*p when he stated anyone could go to the ice cream parlor with his family and while walking on the street be stopped and question and arrested by the AZ police. AGAIN obama has lied about our law's intent and actions.
