Meghan McCain on Arizona's "Alien" Law


In the Daily Beast, Meghan McCain voiced her opinion of Arizona's new immigration law. (Notice the law refers to undocumented immigrants as "aliens.")

"Let me say upfront that I do not support the bill that was signed by Governor Jan Brewer. I believe it gives the state police a license to discriminate, and also, in many ways, violates the civil rights of Arizona residents. Simply put, I think it is a bad law that is missing the bigger picture of what is really going on with illegal immigration. The concept that a law-enforcement official can stop an individual when “reasonable suspicion exists that a person is an alien, who is unlawfully present in the United States” is essentially a license to pull someone over for being Hispanic."
