Arizona's SHOW YOUR PAPERS Law



When watching coverage of the new immigration law passed in Arizona I watched Latino American’s coming up to the camera and saying that they were born in the US, they are US citizens and just because they look like many (not all) of the citizens of Mexico doesn’t mean they are not Natural Born Americans.

Sadly, I fear these people have missed the point. While there is a problem with illegal immigration and boarder Insecurity, the Arizona law is implying another more disturbing truth. The people who created the Arizona SHOW YOUR PAPERS law are not just against illegal immigrants, they are against people of color, all of them, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, even Native Americans.

The bill was authored by Arizona State Sen. Russell Pearce, who has ties to J.T. Ready, an individual active in the neo-Nazi movement. This is not just gossip, there are pictures of Russell Pearce standing with people wearing brown shirts and with swastikas on their sleeves.

The people behind this bill have expressed white supremacist sentiments in past speeches and writing.

Another guy taking credit for the new law is Kris Kobach an attorney for the Immigration Reform Law Institute, the legal arm of an immigration group called FAIR, the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Here are some quotes from a FAIR spokesman, John Tanton:

To govern is to populate. Will the present majority peaceably hand over its political power to a group that is simply more fertile? As whites see their power and control over their lives declining, will they simply go quietly into the night or will there be an explosion?

I've come to the point of view that for European-American society and culture to persist requires a European-American majority and a clear one at that.


What is under the surface of the Arizona immigration law is racism. There is a segment of our country, perhaps a large segment, that not only wants to get rid of immigrants, but to get rid of all people of color, and some people who have faith in the wrong religion. If we all are not alarmed and outraged by the Arizona SHOW YOUR PAPERS law, then we are moving towards a society that will eventually resemble The Third Reich.
