Have you actually read the text of the bill? I am sure not, because if you did then you wouldn’t be saying what you just did. Go read the New York TImes Op Ed by the law professor who drafted the bill who provides fact-based rebuttal to all the critics.

“Presumably, the government lawyers who do so will actually read the law, something its critics don’t seem to have done.

Kobach, a law professor at the University of Missouri at Kansas City, was Attorney General John Ashcroft’s chief adviser on immigration law and border security from 2001 to 2003.)
