Al Jazeera reports that six more states are to copy Arizona's racial profiling laws. The Republicans are using the time honoured tradition of right wingers everywhere of promoting xenophobia and racism and playing to the lowest common denominator. Still you can't really blame them when, the report claims, a slim majority of Americans support the Arizona law.
This is likely due to ignorance (deliberately created by the powers that be) rather than an innate evil but an ignorance of the real problems that face America and the real reasons why people enter America illegally is depressing nonetheless.
