Welcome to Arizona...License and Registration please....

Hispanics in Arizona are pissed and I do not know why? The supreme court overruled three out of four of Arizona's immigration laws, keeping only the law that requires law enforcement to ascertain the legal status of  people they pull over or question for possible connection in a crime. So? What is the big deal? Why is everyone in an uproar?

Before I continue let me just say to those who do not know me that I am the furthest thing from racist. I am an American of Italian, Columbian, Irish and Swedish descent! I am a mutt! With that said, if I get pulled over for any reason, I will be asked for a driver's license. Not because I am a mutt. Not because I am a large scary looking tattoo freaky freak. I will get asked to reveal my identification because that is the law of the land!!! When did we get so caught up in being concerned about everyone's feelings? If you are in this country legally, which a driver's license says you are. Or if you are in the process of being in this country legally than you would have nothing to worry about. If you in this country illegally, then you do not have the same legal rights and therefore should be dealt with accordingly. It is almost as if we care more about the ones who are not supposed to be here in the first place than those who have a right to be here by either birth or naturalization. If you and a group of your friends are up to no good at three in the morning in front of a 7-11, hey we all been there, there is a good chance a law officer will ask to see identification. Is he busting your balls because of the color of your skin? No, he is just doing his job because you are loitering and it is illegal.

Now, I am not saying that these people should be subjected to cruel or unusual punishment. I believe that all human beings deserve to be treated like a human being regardless of their citizenship. However, this country is at a very sensitive and critical time in its existence. We are stretched way beyond our means as it is. We are at the risk of financial collapse at the same time of being a constant target for terrorist groups.

Everyday there is an article or news segment involving racial profiling. You know what? When it comes to the safety of myself and the rest of the law biding citizens of the United States, I am all for it! When was the last time you saw or heard about a ninety year old trying to blow up a plane with her girdle bomb? I don't give a damn if they subject me to a body cavity search by Edward Scissor Hands, if I am able to hop on that plane with a clear conscience I am dropping draws...

Is it hot in here or am I Crazy?
