Despite the fact that even President Obama has called the law misguided, Arizona legislation has gone ahead with the toughest law on immigration in the United States.
Even the news ‘gist’ of this law is scary, with police being granted immigration authorities. They have the ability to detain anyone they think might be an illegal alien.
While I certainly understand the US trying to crack down on illegal immigration – Australia is having a heck of a time with it as well – this law scares me.
When you start putting things into law that involve acting on personal suspicion alone, then you start opening a nasty can of worms.
