I liked the remark in the linky that you can keep them for years, because they <i>start out</i> tasting stale.

Most Mexicans can claim ancestors in North America going back at least 10,000 years. Most African-Americans can claim ancestors in America going back to colonial times. But most white people -- European-Americans, if you will -- only go back a hundred years or so.

Like true libertarians, when those young, involuntary immigrants are driving (anyway), they'll be unlicensed and uninsured. And if they crash into your SUV, you can bask in the glow of their objective self-interest. That's the Ayn Rand way.

We've seen this before. Brewer and her cohorts should think about our history.

In the 1850s the Know Nothing Party (also called the American Party) organized around anti-immigrant sentiment, particularly anti-Catholic, especially the Irish. From Wikipedia: <blockquote> The platform of the American Party called for, among other things:[citation needed] - Severe limits on immigration, especially from Catholic countries. - Restricting political office to native-born Americans of English and/or Scottish lineage and Protestant persuasion. - Mandating a wait of 21 years before an immigrant could gain citizenship. - Restricting public school teacher positions to Protestants. - Mandating daily Bible readings in public schools. - Restricting the sale of liquor. - Restricting the use of languages other than English.</blockquote>

Praise Jeebus.

Hero Gov. Jan Brewer throws minifit and changes <strong>absolutely nothing</strong>. All of the provisions in her XO were already the law of the state of Arizona. She's as much as admitted that her order was purely for show.
