Explain to me why I am wrong

[pezDispenser]

I understand that I'm new here and posting this may arouse suspicion, but I've honestly flipped on this issue - and can't convince myself to flip back.

The Arizona SB 1070. Originally I was opposed to this bill because of the wording 'lawful contact', now that they have changed it to "lawful stop, detention or arrest", I'm not so sure I am opposed to it anymore. I don't think this is now a 'show us your papers' law, but a law to determine the correct residency status of someone believed to be here illegally. As they say, illegal is illegal.

Honestly, I'm not sure that we really have an illegal immigration problem, in fact I think its something that liberals should take a more active role. It seems to me that people who come here illegally to work cheap are being exploited. I don't want to debate that issue however, I want to know why I'm wrong in supporting the amended law in Arizona.

Let the beatdown on me begin!
