Listen. This shit is important. What happens if I’m driving down the street and I see someone who looks excessively tan or appears to be wearing ethnic apparel or otherwise offends my delicate sensibilities. That person might try to hurt me or steal my job.
We need to throw all suspicious people in jail immediately, for the safety of the general public.
But, in our haste to combat this looming threat, and in anticipation of the millions of dollars Arizona likely intends to spend in it’s race to enforce a policy that amounts to “Lynch the Brown People”, I do hope that no one in Arizona is forced to suffer under the undo and cumbersome burden of a reckless and out of control state government intent on doing serious harm to individuals, businesses, and families by going so far as to raise anybody’s taxes.
I’m a big proponent of small, limited government, after all.
