masquerading as an illegal immigration counter measure.
Randomly stopping Latino "looking" people will not resolve illegal immigration but it will violate the rights of American citizens. And I put quotation marks around that because Latinos "look" like just about everybody on the planet.
Do you think it's uncivil to point that out? Or is respecting the constitutional rights of American citizens too ideologically pure? Or?
There are a range of democratic solutions but one of them is not to discriminate against American citizens on the basis of race or ethnicity and that's what this AZ law does.
