Toughest Immigration Law Signed in Arizona

April 23, 2010 Problems No Comments

Grabbed this from the NYTimes:

“PHOENIX — Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona signed the toughest illegal immigration law in the country on Friday, aimed at identifying, prosecuting and deporting illegal immigrants. The governor’s move unleashed immediate protests and reignited the divisive battle over immigration reform nationally.”

This move drew a line in the sand and prompted some harsh criticism of Governor Brewer, including a statement from President Obama:

“The recent efforts in Arizona…threatened to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe.”

What do yall think?
