Arizona's Immigration Law on The Daily Show

I thought this clip about how police could have 'reasonable suspicion' about whether someone was an illegal immigrant was a funny take on a lot of the issues we talked about in class. It especially reminded me of the rhetoric in some of the articles about how immigrants are used as scapegoats for the source of all social problems, when in fact the drunken, disorderly conduct was all by Americans and the Mexican workers knew more about the Bill of Rights than the bar patrons.
