I called the
governor’s office in Arizona today, and the recorded message said press one for
English, press two for English, press three for English. This new law is pretty strict. You can’t use the slogan ‘what can brown do
for you?’ anymore. Can’t even use that.

Arizona Gov. Jan
Brewer signed the nation’s toughest anti-immigration bill into law. It’s
unbelievable. It makes it a crime as a state law to be in the country
illegally. It lets police question anyone about their status. You know what
this means? Rich people in Arizona may have to start raising their own children
now. It’s an unbelievable law. And it’s
already starting to backfire. Today, a group of Native Americans pulled over a
bunch of white guys and said, ‘Let’s see your papers.’

Arizona’s Governor
had been stalling, you know, on signing this. She said it did not reflect any
ambivalence about the bill. She just wanted to make sure her pool was clean and
her lawn was mowed before she signed. Arizona
has passed the strictest immigration bill in American history. A hundred people
have been stopped already — and that was just in one van.

Over the weekend,
tens of thousands of illegal immigrants rallied across the country demanding a
path to citizenship. Don’t we already have a path to citizenship? It’s called
the San Diego Freeway.
