A bill that was attempted to be passed by Arizona in order to put a leash on illegal immigration, which the federal government has largely failed to do; Arizona spends hundreds of millions on jailing illegals, and who knows how much more on educating them, providing welfare for them, etc., even though they don't pay taxes.
The law's purpose is based off of a federal law that prohibits illegal immigration. Contrary to popular (actually, minority, because the majority of the country supports it) belief, its parameters strictly and directly prohibit racial profiling of any kind. Police officers aren't allowed to go up to anyone they want and say "show me your papers." In fact, they are required to check immigration status if one has already been arrested for a crime.
Countless other states have introduced and/or instituted their own versions of SB-1070. The Obama Administration has shown blatant opposition to the bill and managed to essentially take away all proponents of it that gave it any effectiveness at all. Not only that, but State Department officials admitted to dissing Arizona's "humanitarian rights-violating" bill to countries such as China and Libya. Most, if not all of the Administration's accusations of the bill have truly been completely false.

Obama: "If you didn't have your papers and you took your kids out for ice cream, you could be harassed." (actual quote)
Someone who has actually read the Arizona Immigration Law: "No, you couldn't. Unless going out for ice cream is a crime now."

Get the immigracandey mug.Refers to a foreigner “transplant” who takes the festive cheer out of Christmas due to his differing and/or grumpy views about the holiday and its origins.
I am sure that there have been plenty of immigrinches ever since the time when Christmas was first celebrated, but the most famous example was probably Ebeneezer Scrooge... the book implies that he was a "native" of London, but one would seriously question how he could have felt so antagonistic towards Christmas if he had truly been exposed to the infectious joy and generosity that was typically displayed in London every year during that period... he must actually have been "from away", as we say here in Maine.
