Is McCain's "new campaign slogan" not the slogan of most of those running for office?
Stewart: "...a new law in Arizona known as SB 1070 which requires police in Arizona to check immigration status of anyone that they suspect is in the country illegally while not using a person's ethnicity or appearance alone as grounds for suspecting them"
Whoops, I hit the submit button on accident. What I was going to say under the quote was that his description of the Ariz. Senate bill would be accurate back in April before the amendments which now exclude a person's appearance or ethnicity to be used at all.
Also to take note is that under Ariz.'s new law police have to establish upon a legal stop, detention or arrest of another crime they must get an independent reasonable suspicion that the person is unlawfully present. The Supreme Court has actually a harsher standard in Muehler v Mena which says that if an officer has already developed reasonable suspicion to detain you for a crime, they need not obtain independent reasonable suspicion to see if you're in the country illegally.
Today is not my day.
