I especially liked THIS quote:
But, even though the article is about the misguided efforts of our uber-lib DOJ and their political agenda, perhaps the funniest comment I've EVER read on any story posted on azcentral.com followed this article:
"the rest of the world settled the acceptable terminology in the 1980s". Kind of like the rest of the world settled the science of global warming? And comparing "illegal" to "n****r"?
This person is so fucking clueless, they should be taken out back and put down like a lame horse. 
I especially liked THIS quote:
...or, in the US/Mexico border's case, the LACK of enforcement of immigration law.The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1941 that the Pennsylvania law was unconstitutional, in part because the U.S. Constitution gives the federal government, not the states, the power over immigration, naturalization and deportation.
If Holder did challenge the Arizona law, he would use the same argument. And, constitutional-law experts say, it would carry greater weight in court coming from the Department of Justice.
"The DOJ could make that argument with much greater authority than a private litigant because the DOJ is directly involved with the enforcement of immigration law," said William G. Ross of Samford University's Cumberland School of Law in Birmingham, Ala.

This is an excellent and professional article. Not once did the author refer to people as "illegal." Being an undocumented immigrant is an "adminstrative violation" of US Immigration law, which means that it is unlawful, but not criminal. That was a major point ofcontroversy in Arizona's most recent draconian measure: to make it "illegal" (i,e. a crime) to be here undocumented (a civil violation).
In addition, I'd like to say that calling someone "illegal" is considered the same as using the 'N' word to refer to African-Americans. It's in poor taste, and we as a nation along with the rest of the world settled the acceptable terminology in the 1980s. One should use the term "undocumented migrant" to show s/he has no personal hatred, bias or prejudice, and/or xenophobia toward immigrants (whose status may range from tourist, to seasonal, to seeking work and/or to reunite families, to refugee and/or exile for the purpose of survival). Undocumented migrants are not a single race, class, or status.
