Florida is the latest to jump on the anti immigrant Hispanic bashing bandwagon with their own copycat version of Arizona’s SB-1070, but with a twist.

As you probably know, Canadians and Western Europeans are white folks, and in the case of Canadians, with a goodly mixture of Arabs, and others from Muslim countries that don’t particularly like the US.
