The toughest anti-illegal-immigrant measure in a generation passed the Arizona legislature this week. If signed, as expected, by Republican governor Jan Brewer , the law will give local police sweeping new powers in regard to undocumented workers. Currently, immigration offenses are violations of federal, not state, law, and local police officers only can inquire about a person's immigration status if that person is suspected of another crime. Under SB1070, however, Arizona police will have the right to stop anyone on " reasonable suspicion " that they may be an illegal immigrant and can arrest them if they are not carrying a valid driver's license or identity papers.

Vid and Dana,
No I'm not a witness anymore. But I would classify myself as a Conservative. I still hold to the values fo the Bible, just chose not to attend meetings any more. Why would a person abandon the values he's come to know just because they're not popular?
Inversely, please explain why it's to understand how any X-JW can not be liberal? Why do you think that way? I'm curious to get your perspective....

It's the way I've interpreted it, may not be correct, but that's the way I've interpreted it. Correct me if I'm wrong....
