Wow, thanks Neatorama for bringing out all the racists. "Overbreeding" "Learn the language"? That's what was said about many of your German and Irish forefathers when they came to this country in droves - don't forget.
The point is, why should I be profiled as a Mestiza, a person who looks Mexican but whose ancestors have lived in New Mexico and Arizona before Yankees even knew this part of the country existed? My grandfather was deported in the 1920s for looking Mexican even though his family had been in New Mexico since the 1600s, tell me how these laws are fair?
The law is not about immigration but about singling out people based on someone's subjective perception of their lawful status, all based on their coloring or race. It's wrong that Arizona has decided to do this and it's wrong if Mexico or any other country, like Nazi Germany does it either.
