I forgive Arizona for John McCain.  Awesomeness like this deserves respect.

Arizona's governor has signed into law an immigration bill seen as one of the toughest in the US, despite strong criticism by President Barack Obama.

The bill signed by Governor Jan Brewer will require state police to question people about their immigration status if there is "reasonable suspicion".

The bill - which takes effect in 90 days - also makes it a crime under state law to be in the US illegally.

President Obama has described the law in the US border state as "misguided".

Gov Brewer signed the bill into law live on television, saying it "protects every Arizona citizen".

She said the measure would strengthen border controls in the state, which borders Mexico.

The governor also said she had to act because the federal government had failed to tackle illegal immigration.

It goes on to say that Teh Won has asked the Justice Department to review the legality of this law, 'cause it might be mean and discriminatry against hispanics and stuff.  I know, shocking that he would say that, right?
