I love my community's diversity, the opportunities it offers for my family and the warm Arizona climate. My wife and I have been together for 51 years and raised our three children here. We have proudly called Arizona home. But this is not the Arizona I know.
My wife, a retired educator, is Japanese-American and also faces the specter of the same police scrutiny I had to endure. The law invites police to rely on their racial bias when deciding who to stop, so our skin color means we're more likely to be targeted. Like most Americans, I never carried around my passport. Now, my wife and I always take ours when we leave the house.
We are concerned about losing them and identity theft. But after my police stops, we worry more about being detained or arrested if we don't have the proper documents.

Small Government Republicans want this for the entire country.
I don't think that there's any confusion on the part of Hispanics on this issue at all.
The GOP has made them scapegoats.
And romney has said stuff like,
"I can't have illegal aliens, I'm running for office, for Pete's sake." Using their labor while denying them rights.
scapegoats for what? Unions do that too, I dont hear democrats bashing them? Do you believe in borders?
I think somewhere in your confusion, you are almost hitting the point, but not quite.
Here's the ugly little secret.
The same assholes who are hiring illegal aliens are the same assholes who run the GOP these days. The same assholes who think you should work harder for less money so they can get greater profits.
So they'll play on your racism (and, yes, sorry, it is racism) while the are the ones inviting them in so they don't have to pay an American a fair wage.
You could end the illegal problem in five minutes. We catch you with an illegal on your worksite, we confiscate your business.

If AZ does not like it, then they can boot the legislature that put it in.
Do you live there ? Didn't think so ? STFU.
It is my home state and while I don't live there, my wife has a huge amout of family that does. One of them knows a 3rd grade teacher who indicated that right after the law was signed, her class size dropped by 25%.
That Romney even has to worry about AZ shows how weak his candidacy is.
Or how much people have come to depend on the federal government.
Don't forget that hispanics have lived in the state and been a significant part of the state for a long long time. They are all to aware of the immigration issues which have been mischaracterized by the left causing a great deal of confusion.
Once things get rolling, Obama does not stand a chance.

(CNN) - The battle between President Barack Obama and all-but-certain GOP nominee Mitt Romney for Arizona's eleven electoral votes stands neck and neck, according to a poll released Monday.
Arizona, which has voted for only one Democratic presidential candidate in sixty years, has become a hot battleground in 2012, partly because of the state's increasing Latino population.
The poll from Arizona State University's Merrill/Morrison Institute indicated 42% of registered voters in Arizona backing Romney and 40% supporting Obama. The margin was well within the poll's sampling error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
A large portion of respondents 18% - said they were undecided in who they would support in the November's general election. Among independents, the undecided figure was far higher. Thirty-four percent of voters who said they were independents said they hadn't yet picked a candidate to support.

Word on the street is that Obama is bleeding independents...not a good sign for your main squeeze, Chris.
Chris doesn't want to lose his job: as Obama's concubine.

Romney says he will "veto the Dream Act."
Bye, bye, Arizona.

Of course he wouldn't.
But if Obama told him to do it, he'd say "pass the salt".
