So Where's the Beef?

Letter to the Editor

May 5, 2010

Mr. Rainy, your letter (Letters, May 5) about the Arizona immigration law is at least alarmist. Let’s not speculate as to your motivations but your purported fears are illustrative of the point Mr. Irwin was making in his letter of April 30. Should you be stopped for speeding, should you not have a California driver’s license, should your vehicle have no valid registration, should your wife have no license or identification, should neither of you speak any English, then I would suppose the officer would have grounds to question the legal immigration status of you and your lady companion. The law is not a racist dragnet but a reasonable tool for we citizens to deal with a very difficult situation. So where’s the beef?
