Arizona Law: "Open Season" on Non-Anglos?Hispanic Commentator Says State's Immigration Law Invites Profiling; Conservative Says It Takes Handcuffs Off Police

A shorter URL for the above link: <http://tinyurl.com/3a8f8os>(CBS) Arizona's Republican Governor Jan Brewer signed into state law the nation's toughest sanctions against illegal border crossings, and taking a verbal swipe at the Obama administration while doing so.
"We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act," she said.
The bill makes it a crime to be in Arizona illegally, and requires police to question people about their status if there's reason to suspect they're illegal immigrants.
There were protests outside the state Capitol in Phoenix yesterday, in a state in which almost a half-million immigrants live. A church group plans to file a federal lawsuit against the measure. Hispanic groups have also vowed to fight the new law in court.
"By signing it, this bill, Governor Brewer has thrown the door wide open for racial profiling," said Janet Murguia, president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza
Some local law enforcement agencies have protested, saying their resources will be stretched thin. Meanwhile, a provision in the bill allows citizens to sue police to compel them to enforce the new law.
Brewer said that she would not tolerate racial profiling, but that's what federal officials fear. President Obama called the Arizona law misguided, and urged lawmakers to get going to immigration reform. Failure to act, he said, opens the door to irresponsibility.
