Yes, you did miss something. Something very important. Here it is:

Arizona's law isn't "defending the border" from illegals.
What it is doing is profiling hispanics already there.

Imagine say if you could round up and deport 50% of all illegals in AZ over the next 10 years. Is that "protecting the border"? No. Is it stopping more from coming in? No. Does it serve as a deterrant? No.

It must be challenged in court. It's a civil rights issue.
