Bring it, fucknugget!
That’s the message Arizona Governor Jan Brewer sent to the ACLU and the Obama administration in a recent interview on CNN.
The American Civil Liberties Union is currently leading a court challenge. Attorney General Eric Holder, who met with a delegation of police chiefs from Arizona and elsewhere this week to discuss the law,has yet to indicate whether the federal government would file a legal challenge.
Obama, who has called the law “misguided,” (even though he never read it) will meet with Brewer at the White House on Thursday, a White House official told CNN. It will be the first one-on-one meeting between the two since Brewer approved the law in April.
The new immigration law,implemented last month, allows police officers to check the residency status of anyone who is being investigated for a crime or possible legal infraction if there is reasonable suspicion the person is an illegal resident. Critics, including Holder, have said the law will promote racial profiling.
Please allow me to ask a politically incorrect question: What race or nationality are the vast majority of illegal aliens in Arizona?

Nicki, thank you for the Blog, I enjoy it very much. I am a resident of Arizona in the Yuma sector, here we are in good shape with respect to illegal immigration. Yuma has more federal law enforcement than city and county police and in fact you can usually find a fed paired up with a local LEO and it works well. Now me being as white as a sheet of paper I can tell you that this issue of racial profiling is hog wash, I have been pulled over by border patrol and regular city cops and it is of no inconvience to answer a simple question of if you are a legal resident. Oh and a major shocker here, many of the police are of Hispanic dissent so where is the racial profiling of say a Hispanic asking a Hispanic their legal status?. I say lets just ask everyone for there status and be done with it, Arizona has passed the bill that they have because they desperately needed to and they will be the better for it.

Scott, thank you so much for the comment too. It’s nice to hear from someone who actually lives there and understands how important this is.
