Arizona lawmakers, in an amendment to the controversial new immigration law, stipulated Friday that police officers would not be able to detain an individual based merely on the suspicion that he or she entered the country illegally. The proposed change to the law states that a "lawful stop, detention or arrest must be in the enforcement of any other law or ordinance of a county, city or town of this state."
It's not clear if this change was prompted by the worldwide accusations of racism and comparisons to totalitarian regimes or if the moneyed GOP backers who are responsible for the problem in the first place realized their cheap labor might seek work in California instead.
