[Roger Algase, Attorney at Law]

Re Tweet:

"Racist thug AZ governor says reading Gestapo law is necessary to criticize it. Next she will want us to read Mein Kampf!" (Today's ID).

OK, granted the above tweet is over the top and we should be careful before throwing terms like "Hitler, "Nazi", "Gestapo" around just because we disagree with a particular law. The last thing that immigration supporters should want to do is to join the likes of Rush Limbaugh Glenn Beck, Tom Tancredo, JD Hayworth or Sarah Palin in the sewer of American politics.

But while the terminology is unacceptable, the thought behind the above tweet is not so far off base. Despite all the hypocritical pious protests to the effect that, heaven forbid, no Arizona peace officer would ever go after someone just because he or she "looks" Hispanic, it is obvious to anyone who can function above vegetable level that this is exactly what the law is intended to do. Otherwise, why pass such a law in the first place?

IN that sense, the Arizona law most definitely has something in common with the Nuremberg laws, because they both singled out a particular ethnic group of people for persecution. True, the Nuremberg laws did this with barbed wire, gas chambers and the death ovens, while the Arizona law does it with a wink and a nod. That is admittedly a world of difference, a huge one.

But just as the purpose of the Nuremberg laws was to drive the Jews out of Germany, the purpose of the Arizona law is to drive the Mexicans, all of them, out of Arizona. Pointing out this similarity is not over the top.
