High five Arizona!

You have made our borders safe once again.

By passing SB 1070 law enforcement can now search any individual who they think is an illegal immigrant without consent. Finally, freedom fighters are vindicated by law. Too long have Mexican-Americans assumed that, as citizens of this country, they have constitutional rights.

Search em’ all, that’s what I say, especially if they’re minding their own business. Nebraska could learn a thing or three from Arizona. Abolish affirmative action? Pffft. Let me know when you put an entire race of people under state suspicion.

Arizona should take Nebraska under its wing. I think they’d enjoy getting together and telling jokes.

AZ: What did the cop say to the Mexican before searching him?
NE: I don’t know, what?
AZ: Nothing.
NE: We should hang out more.

Where’s Joe McCarthy when you need him? We have a Brown Scare on our hands. These treasonous Mexicans shouldn’t be too hard to find, though. They’re usually the only ones walking around when it’s really hot and sunny outside.

I hope to see the Neighborhood Watch revamped under this new legislation, too. In a perfect world, every Mexican-American would be constantly subjected to a gauntlet of patriotic scrutiny by their neighbors, employers, and government officials.
That’s the kind of world I want to live in.

This law should be enforced everywhere. Did Obama ask to see Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s papers? I don’t think so. Let’s shake her down, and taze her just for good measure. I bet she steals other judges’ gavels after everyone goes home. Appalling.

This law gives hope, though. If this nation is lucky, this will be the first of many laws to legitimize our well-placed suspicion of darkies.

One can only hope that soon there will be a law forcing Asian-Americans to prove that they aren’t all Chinese, and maybe even a law forcing African-Americans to prove that all the crime in the nation wasn’t committed by them. Oh well, requiring every Mexican in Arizona to prove they aren’t illegal at any given moment is a start.

So here’s to you, America. Now my family reunions will be fraught with hugs, laughs and wild accusations of each other’s illegal occupancy.

That is all.

Salud,

CHEERS! I MEAN CHEERS!

This is better. The kind of shit you should have been doing in the first place. Good to know I have had a positive effect on the paper this semester!
