I disagree. First I have read it. Second the language is not exactly what federal law is. Third, telling people to stop protesting is ridiculous. That's like telling people to stop having opinions. Everyone I know who has spoken out against the new law are very intelligent and have analyzed the new law. However everyone who has the opinion of the new law is good has their rights too.
I do agree with the sentiment of "if you don't live there, you don't get it", even though I don't agree with the law. (I think the better way to deal with illegal immigration is to go after employers.)
Arizona's, like California's Prop 187, law was passed because people are fed up with the federal government not doing *anything* about illegal immigration, which impacts certain states (read Arizona) more than others (read Wisconsin). So it does come off to me as rather ignorant for people in WI to go "oh, those racist people in Arizona, how dare they!" when they haven't had to deal with, as you've noted, all the many problems that illegal immigration can bring.
