Newly re-elected Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 back in April of 2010. The law essentially obligates Arizona police officers to stop and ask for US citizenship documentation from anyone who looks Latino, thereby making the assumption that appearing Mexican makes a person a potential illegal immigrant.

A lot of people called that racial profiling.

But in the video below, some people came to a different conclusion. If all Latinos could be illegal immigrants, than all Caucasian, blond women could be the Governor of Arizona.
