Q: What do Arizona and Israel have in common? A: An uncanny disregard for immigrant rights.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton decided Wednesday that SB 1070’s most controversial bits, such as requiring immigrants to carry papers wherever they go, will have to wait until the courts can sort out the mess.
