Why I will not be silent about the new law in AZ

“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.” Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984)

Ok, so some of my Conservative friends insist there will be no racial profiling, but how do they think this new law will be implemented especially when the Governor of AZ wasn't sure how they'd do it either? How will they avoid harassing the same people, citizens of the U.S., over and over again? Will the next step to avoid repetition be by adding "666" on their foreheads?
