Rachel Maddow- Arizona (1) embraces profiling

[mauricioangel]

hahahahahahahhah what a looser...a fool..hahahahhahahahaa

[orealcookie1989]

WOW! I guess the Devil ended up being a woman.

[flofanatic1]

This bill being passed makes me sad to be an American. To make racial profiling legal is beyond abominable. This law right here is a precursor to even more right wing radical Fascist progaganda. Take back America they say. Take back America from whom? The Native Americans that the white illegal immigrants bullied off their own land centuries ago. So how can you take back something that never belonged to you to begin with? Only in the minds of the racist right wing radicals.

[MrBaloneyhead]

@flofanatic1 How are the whites that took over the Native Americans land considered "illegal" ? Most were considered legal.Not condoning the atrocites commited to the native Americans back then, but they had no more legal right to the land than anyone else. The native Americans that got "bullied" out by the whites in the 1800's were previous bullies themselves. There were constant wars among themselves over land grabs,moving into others territories,and thier own practice of manifest destiny.

I'm disappointed New Mexico hasn't taken a stronger stance against this law(the cause of "a sad day 4 democracy in America") like TX & CA have.

[SobeCuban1981]

This women AZ governor is without a dough Hitlers daughter! NO QUESTION! I knew her ugly face was from somewhere in my history book.. Shes Hitler's daughter! Ugly hoe!

[Mr09camaro]

This law should be a sing that we still have racism and segregation supporters in our country.

divest from arizona. boycott arizona. don't do business with arizona's small businesses. don't drive through arizona. starve arizona from any participation with the rest of the country. snub arizona. alienate arizona. call arizona fat and ugly. spread rumors about how slutty arizona is. prank call arizona. start a facebook page and friend arizona and then cyber-bully it until it hangs itself.

[bubzy333]

Can't believe I live in Arizona.

[984anthony]

wow... I know this is gonna go out of control someday and people are gonna die or start to riot.

[jedigandhi]

@984anthony One riot has already happened. Imagine what'll happen when they actually profile, arrest and/or harass a citizen.

[darkgecko]

So...if you have an accent of any kind you could be arrested for possibly being an illegal immigrant? Or if you don't look like a landed immigrant? What the hell does a landed immigrant look like? *facepalm* I hope this idiocy stays out of Canada and I feel truly sorry for those who live in Arizona :(.

[FOOLYCOOLY]

@darkgecko Fun story: Arizona just banned english teachers that have foreign accents...

[Dragonfly6160]

This is not fascism. The police are simply checking to see if a crime has been committed and crossing the border without permission is a crime.

[StartLoving3]

@Dragonfly6160, Hitler was entirely within the law.

[viniciusb]

@StartLoving3 Well said.

[MrMember3]

@Dragonfly6160

That's what Hitler did, if you looked jewish but couldn't prove otherwise - then off to the concentration camp you went.

[jedigandhi]

@Dragonfly6160 I hate to invoke Godwin's Law, but stopping people and asking them for their papers and encouraging citizens to report anyone they suspect of being illegal sounds distinctly "Anne Frank"-ish.

[FOOLYCOOLY]

@Dragonfly6160 deregulate the corporations but control the citizens... not fascism, but some interesting parallels.

[BubbaZanetti89]

@Dragonfly6160 Do you want the Border Patrol to investigate local crimes like rapes, murders, burglaries, car jackings, kidnappings, etc.? That's because that's not their job, they take care of investigating immigration issues. That's their job and that's what they are trained for!

Local police handle local crimes and are not supposed to worry about immigration issues, they are NOT trained for this task and it will take time away from them to deal with a possible immigration violation.

[PhilipPorter]

Where are the protesters? Where is the Tea Party with their fascist billboards?

Maybe Arizona could make it easy on themselves and have all known immigrants with the right papers wear a yellow star pinned to their clothing.

[witchwild]

This is an appalling law! I trust President Obama does something about this illegal act. This is such a sad sick obviously racist move.

[warrenoc]

This is such a disaster and I can imagine some racist cops taking advantage of this law.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

How did an old crack whore get to be Governor of Arizona?

[callouschristian]

@SubmarinerAndroid She is a republican so I don't find the crack whore thing too surprising. As long as she's white, that is all that matters especially in the land of mccain. There is something in the water in Arizona (water stolen from other states so they can put golf courses in the dessert).

[viniciusb]

@SubmarinerAndroid Just another republican pawn, an older version of Katherine Harris.

[AZsBESTEST]

@SubmarinerAndroid LMAOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ajnatheiconoclast]

@SubmarinerAndroid Excellent question!

[luchpockets]

First Enhanced interrogation, now Enhanced profiling ? !

What kind of torture, lying and cover-ups can we expect from this " BILL" !

Scary, we already know how well Arizona treats it's citizens... what can out-of-towners/ vacationers expect !

All I can say is... stay out of the Sun, and Arizona
