Congrats. You just made my point for me.

The illegal immigration thing is huge down there. Just because someone wants the .fed to enforce the laws that the constitution requires doesn't mean anything more than that. Wanting your nation's laws enforced is not prejudice nor bigotry. So who's creating "the atmosphere" here?

When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous," the sheriff said.

It's amazing to me that people think the Arizona law is racist and bigoted. Yet the Arizona law does nothing more than what exists in Federal law.

He has a point. But I would also ask the sheriff when in human history has this not been the case? Are we supposed to cower in fear and check expressing our political beliefs because a nutcase might shoot up a crowd? That doesn't sound very American to me.
