I have been trying to shy away from politics as much as possible for a while now. It hurts my head and makes the ulcers act up - often exacerbating my already egregious insomnia. But now AZ has passed a bill drafted by eugenicist white supremacists and spearheaded by a fucking neo-Nazi loving white supremacist loon.
Greg posted a Rachel Maddow segment that delved into the background of this lunatic fucking bill, asking the very reasonable question; What does an illegal immigrant look like? For the record, the first illegal immigrant I ever met was paler than I am - a New Zealander. Somehow I doubt cops in AZ would even think to fuck with her.
There is more than a little bit of a shit storm about this bill. This bill means that anyone who is suspected of being illegal, who does not have their ;proof of citizenship they will spend six months in jail, even if they are not here illegally. I am not sure exactly how this is supposed to work, because a drivers license is not proof. I don't generally carry my fucking birth certificate with me when I am out and about.
But the fucking moron in chief of AZ seems to be clear that racial profiling is illegal and will not be allowed. She does not however, know exactly what an illegal immigrant looks like.
I am guessing they look brown.

Don't you know that all immigrants are brown?
There have been a few times now when a white Canadian has complained about immigrants / immigration in front of me. When I protest, they say something like "oh, I don't mean you. You're, well, you speak English, and..."
Yeah. It's because I'm white. They don't see me as an immigrant at all.
(I'm 100% legal, by the way, and always have been. There was an incident when my work permit renewal finally arrived (in twice the posted processing time) on the same day my existing permit expired, but that was it!)
What's strange is the relationship between Sen. Russell Pearce the sponsor of the new Arizona immigration bill (Arizona SB1070), and a person named J.T. Ready.

In the link I provided above there is a picture of Sen. Pearce with J.T Ready, in the link below is a picture of Phoenix Sheriff Joe Arpaio with Neo-Nazi Vito Lombardi.
Both Pearce and Arpaio say that they don't know Ready or Lombardi, a little difficult for anyone to believe though.
