Jackson, like so many others, is a total moron.
If he actually read SB 1070 then he lied through his teeth. Or he didn't even understand it. Pretending to have read the laws, and saying what he did, is actually far worse than confessing that he didn't read it/them and commenting anyway.
Here is SB-1070 which I did read.
http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf
In reality it is nothing more than the existing Federal Immigration laws which have existed for MANY years already.
I struggled for a long time to understand why there is such a hullabaloo about this new Arizona law and here are my conclusions.
* Many who are whining actually didn't even understand existing Federal Laws.
* Many are disappointed and upset that the State will begin enforcing the laws which are effectively nothing more that a mimicking of Federal Laws. You could truthfully say the Federal Laws were proselytized !!! It's all the same.
* The liberal progressive politicians and judges have hamstrung and obstructed enforcement of laws for so many years that there are huge numbers of people who are profiting handsomely from the lack of enforcement. It's like being a drug addict and wanting the fix repeatedly.
So who are these people ?
1. The reconquista Aztlanders.
2. Hispanic advocacy groups, La Raza, MASLDEF, LULAC, MEChA/ extreme racists.
3. Day Laborers and their advocacy groups.
4. Latino governments, consulates.
5. Religious organizations.
6. Politicians/liberals/progressives.
7. The drug cartels.
8. Business owners, banks, capitalists.
9. Immigration rights lawyers.
10. Communist organizations.
11. Nationality of family connections or relations.
12. Other -----
I would venture that the motivations are divided between moral and ethical considerations which are probably about 5% and the greed, avarice, special interests, self interests, profit motives, advantages of exploiting the cheap labor, 95%.
In their zeal to sink SB-1070 they are perfectly willing to, and do, distort the truth, mask the facts, put up smoke screens, prevaricate, resort to chicanery and duplicitous innuendo.
