As we reported, yesterday a U.S. District judge lifted an injunction against the “show me your papers” provision of Arizona’s SB 1070 anti-immigrant law, allowing this draconian provision to go into effect.  Many agree that the implementation of this provision will involve rampant racial profiling of Latinos in Arizona. No doubt, additional legal challenges will be brought to stop it.

Meanwhile, in the infamous leaked video from a campaign fundraiser, Mitt Romney laments that had his father “been born of Mexican parents, I’d have a better shot of winning this,” referring to the 2012 presidential race and his low standing with Latino voters.
