Relevant part starts at the 1:04 minute mark.

Btw, excerpt from link below:

A representative at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) returned 3TV’s calls after researching the incident and she said this was standard operating procedure.

1. Arizona's about to taste a whole lot of lawsuits

It certainly would serve them right, they are asking for it with their racist bill.

[pinboy3niner]

2. Yes, but this case involved ICE--feds, not AZ nt

3. taxes are going to have to go up in Arizona to pay out all the settlements & lawsuit penalties

the money is going to have to come from somewhere and they can add up to millions in just a single case alone, not to mention hundreds of millions across the state as cases unfold.

I hope Arizona has people excited about their tax hikes in order to pay for it.

4. I'm glad I visited Arizona a long time ago

I won't be going back any time soon.

5. ditto, I make sure my plane never even stops there now

small things add up when everyone does them

If I were a higher-up at Southwest Airlines, I would move traffic out of Phoenix entirely and split it off to their hubs in Albuquerque, Ontario, El Paso and Las Vegas.

6. You haven't seen tears until some white guy is arrested on suspicion of being Canadian.

"Sir would you kindly step out of the car and say "about""

Gawd this is comedy gold.

7. Almost woke roommate, with my LAUGH!

[goclark]

12. Love it!

That's what makes the "new rule" so unfair.

Anyone that is White will never get challenged.

It broke my heart to see the young college students that had chained themselves to the school doors.

It reminded me of the Civil Rights movement days that I leaved through.
Many of my friends went to college in the South and participated in the struggle.

The African American students were a huge reason why the sit ins were so successful.

The images of the passive resistance went around the news by snail News and people woke up -smart people did anyway.

Now we have instant news.
Let the boycott of Arizona begin!

8. WE NEED ONE HISPANIC OFFICER (nearing retirement) TO START ARRESTING ANGLOS..... welcome to america

9. This will NOT STAND.

AZ calls itself the Grand Canyon State, yet chills everyone's opportunity to visit this wonder by threatening to harass, annoy, intimidate everyone who travels there, AND by disrupting the free flow of commerce within the country. I hope folks, all folks, regulars, businesses and politicians, observe and learn somethings about the MEANING of a 'federal system.'

15. AZ calls itself the Grand Canyon State

Do you know how any foreign visitors who are of all skin colors and don't speak English visit the Grand Canyon a year?


Not as many this coming summer as last year I bet....


AZ fools!

10. So where are the people who claimed this wouldn't happen?

It already is. Now anyone with brown skin has to carry their Birth Certificate with them or be thrown in jail? Atrocious.

And anyway - what does a birth certificate prove for anyone? It's a piece of paper with a name on it. There's no way to link it to you anyway, so why would it even be considered a form of identification?

The fact is, it's very difficult to prove someone is or is not a certain person. The burden of proof should be on the government to prove you are NOT legal, not the other way around.

[vduhr]

13. And as someone pointed out on another thread....

Arizona doesn't even recognize Obama's birth certificate.

[raystorm7]

11. And that is the whitest American "mexican" I've seen in some time, and this happens to him?!

[Metta]

14. This is the other shoe falling. Happy karma Arizona lawmakers.

You'll be holding immeasureable suffering for a long time.

[orbitalman]

16. Sue their asses all the way to the Supreme Court. nt
