Another step toward a police state ...

This is really disturbing. A bill that is reported to be 'moving along' in the Arizona legislative process would
"make it a crime for people to stand on street corners and sidewalks while offering to work, or to remain on private property while looking for work."
Get that. Remain on private property while looking for work? What does that mean?

The legislation is another attempt to go after immigrants but with this law the police will have one more tool in their arsenal of laws to harass the homeless, the unemployed, the poor. Who knows who else will get clobbered by such a draconian measure.

I suppose the next step will be to put everyone in prison so they can be used as slave labor. My that would be even cheaper for business (but not the our once great country) than immigrant labor.
