Martin, why in the world would left-wing liberals go out of their way to protect "criminals," illegal or otherwise? Racial profiling is based on race, not minorities. Minorities are easy targets and so are more likely to be discriminated against. Also, no one is making the assumption that the police force is predominately Caucasian. It wouldn't matter if they are Hispanics of illegal parents, that fact of the matter is that they are required by law to stop anyone they might suspect to be illegal. Since there isn't a code for this "suspicion," racial profiling would be the only means of targeting probable suspects. That's the whole point of the bill. In Arizona, just like everywhere else, it is already illegal to be there illegally. What the bill does then, is allow for, or rather demand, that police officers take on the responsibility of tackling down the immigration issue through racial discrimination. I doubt a lot of illegal Canadians are going to get pulled over. Plus, this is a strain even for those already here legally. Do you really want to be considered guilty before proven innocent? That's not what the country stands for. If you forgot your wallet, is it okay to be fined and jailed, provided you're legal? If you are willing to trade in you're own liberties for the possible crackdown of some few more illegals, then, quiet frankly, I feel sorry for you.

The notion that Arizona's new immigration law will cause racial profiling is a typical left-wing liberals' response to any new law that might help keeping Mexico's criminals and undesirables from crossing our borders. First, racial profiling assumes that Latinos are a minority which is simply not the case. There are equal numbers of Latino's to Caucasions and in Los Angeles Latino's are the Majority. It also assumes that the police, sheriff and every other law enforcement agency are all caucasion, again not the case. The only people who should be worried about Arizona's new law are those there illegally because they can't show any form of state or federally issued identification. This is the same ID that those of us who are here legally use everyday to cash a check, to use a credit card, buy alcohol, borrow a library book, etc. etc. So if you get pulled over by the police you simply show your ID...so what. How is that racial profiling? All you have to do is show some ID. If you can't then of course the "red flag" goes up. Why? Because most law abiding people with nothing to hide carry some sort of ID with them at all times. That's what we all do as a member of this society.....we carry ID. And only those (in this case illegal aliens) who can't show some form of ID will be subject to greater scrutiny by the police. So if you're a legal Latino what the hell are you worried about? The only discrimination here is whether are you legal or illegal. The bottom line is simple: carry some ID, obey the law and you've got nothing to worry about.

I completely agree with this article. It appears that our student leaders choose to take on a self serving role instead of a student body serving role. This happened last November during the special elections for student trustee. They chose to hold an election without properly notifying the student body. In that case, the candidate was the brother of the ASRCC president. Does that seem nepetistic? This upcoming trustee election, the same person chose to ignore the district constitution and by-laws in favor of another relative who didn't qualify to run as a trustee candidate. Is it right for our student leaders to change the rules by which the student government operates to serve their interests? Or as a student leader, should they hold themselves to a higher standard and lead by example?

Any government that ignores the rules they establish, for the constituency they draw power from, can no longer be concidered a legal entity.

VERY INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE, I AM THINKING OF INVESTIGATING THIS ACTIVITY FOR MY KIDS.
