I think I could pass for a Canadian. Other than the fact that I would mispronounce "about" and don't use "eh" in normal conversation. I bet I look like the vast majority of Canadians.
And that's why this whole immigration legislation in Arizona is bonkers. I understand that federal actions have left very few options for the citizens of that state. And I can empathize with families that want to feel safe and secure in their homes.
Nonetheless, the last time we condoned a government asking for papers based on appearance, the world erupted in war. I realize it might be easy to point to a Hispanic man and wonder if he's "legal." But what about a blue-eyed blonde? She could be a Canadian illegal immigrant. (It's not a joke, it happens.) Something needs to happen - some solutions need to be reached.
But Arizona, let me tell you: this is not it.
Also, I have nothing against Canadians. Robin Sparkles, I love you.
