Anti-immigration law in Arizona

Arizona's draconian new law, SB1070, requires anyone who the police "reasonably suspect" of being an "illegal immigrant" to produce papers proving they are here legally. If for any reason you don't show documentation, you'll be criminally prosecuted for trespassing, jailed and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to face deportation.

The Arizona law is an assault on the very notion of human rights because a "reasonable suspicion" cannot be formed without resorting to racial profiling.

International law guarantees human rights to all without distinction of race or color.
