It helps to have a little background on the Governor of my state. She was not elected to this office, she merely took over when Janet Napolitano resigned her position as governor to become Secretary of Homeland Security. Ms. Brewer is up for election in November 2010. If she wins it, it will be the only term she will be allowed to serve.

The Arizona Constitution prevents her from seeking another term. If she loses to Terry Goddard her Democratic opponent, we will have a good chance to change this law which might be done through court challenges anyway. Attorney General Goddard has come out against this racist bill which will use racial profiling to stop and arrest whoever they, the local police see fit, or whoever they, the cops think looks like an illegal immigrant. Although the governor doesn't seem to know what an illegal immigrant looks like. I'm sure Sheriff Joe Arpaio will educate her very eruditely on who he thinks looks like an illegal immigrant.

This law would require them to stop people they think look "illegal". The governor is being disingenuous when she says that law enforcement will be trained to avoid racial profiling. How will they be trained if the state of Arizona is broke and is contemplating cutbacks in education and an increase of one cent in sales tax?
