Produce a line up of Latino people and then try to judge "US Citizen" or "illegal," what do you think your accuracy is gonna be?<br /><br />Paul, how do you propose preventing widespread harassment and discrimination under this law? Or is that the lesser of two evils for you? <br />I don't have a problem with efforts to get folks to go through the proper process of becoming a citizen or working here legally, and I'm not some great political mind, but this is a dangerously slippery slope IMO. Not a good method.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346270516836690158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065910512732060865.post-27920574991900093592010-04-29T15:57:17.945-05:002010-04-29T15:57:17.945-05:00Paul, this post compared the recent immigration la...Paul, this post compared the recent immigration law with past vagrancy laws, not with Nazism. (But you must admit that you've probably heard "Show me your papers" in every single movie about Nazi-occupied Europe that you've ever seen.) <br /><br />No one here is within a thousand miles of saying that Arizona's government wants to round up Latinos and kill them. But Arizona is <i>abso-freaking-lutely</i> taking a step closer toward a police state where the cops can stop and question anyone they choose whenever they like. My point is that we've seen this type of thing before with the vagrancy laws, which gave cops the power to harass and arrest virtually any migrant worker. <br /><br />I'm kinda wondering why you zeroed in on the one sentence with the word "Nazi" in it (which linked to Saturday Night Live, for Pete's sake), ignored the rest of the post, and then went on to talk about <i><b>lefties</b></i> being blind to history.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154351095467482965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065910512732060865.post-35072971279659279772010-04-29T12:29:53.630-05:002010-04-29T12:29:53.630-05:00When are you liberals going to get it?
The Nazis ...When are you liberals going to get it?<br /><br />The Nazis were asking for papers because they were looking for Jews to kill.<br /><br />The people in Arizona are asking people for papers to see if they are breaking the law, and in the country illegally.<br /><br />People are getting tired of the constant "You're a racist" "You're a nazi" comparisons you lefties pull out every time something happens you don't like. It shows you to be nothing but completely irrational, and completely blind to history and what real oppression is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065910512732060865.post-81535055914645774942010-04-29T10:09:19.467-05:002010-04-29T10:09:19.467-05:00I have Nazi-occupied Polish papers in my house.
