Justices have strongly suggested they will allow ‘show me your papers’ law 

The justices strongly suggested Wednesday that they are ready to let Arizona enforce the most controversial part of its law, a requirement that police officers check the immigration status of people they suspect are in the country illegally. Such a ruling could codify the type of local enforcement that some local authorities in Arizona have carried out over the last six years and open the door to such enforcement in states with similar laws, such as Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah.

Because the idiots who run Arizona this country didn’t get the memo of how disastrous laws like these are for the economy (remember what happened in Alabama?), not to mention how horribly unconstitutional they also can quickly and easily turn.
