SCOTT: If you?re in our state, in any state, and you?re stopped because you?re violating the law and asked for an ID ? just like you and I would be asked ? you should be able to be asked if you?re legal or not.

Interesting differences in the two opinions...

Whats good for AZ is not good of FL in this case. Unlike those who opposed the law that didnt actually read the bill, Im surprised Jeb would be against this because Im sure he read it. To say his kids could look suspicious to cops is silly to me

No, Jeb was making a valid point - his wife was born in Mexico so his kids are Hispanic.

Scott is off to a great start promising the bill does not racially profile or single any one group out EVEN THOUGH IT SPECIFICALLY EXEMPTS CANADIANS AND WESTERN EUROPEANS FROM EXTENSIVE SCRUTINY.

Poppy's picture demonstrated it the best.

What visible characteristics do you think the illegal immigrants targeted by recent legislation share, but that are not shared by other legal hispanics?

what on earth does this mean? it is this kind of stereotyping that we really need to get beyond.
