This week, Arizona signed the toughest illegal immigration law in the country which will allow police to demand identification papers from anyone they suspect is in the country illegally. I know there?s some people in Arizona worried that Obama is acting like Hitler, but could we all agree that there?s nothing more Nazi than saying "Show me your papers?" There?s never been a World War II movie that didn?t include the line "show me your papers." It?s their catchphrase. Every time someone says "show me your papers," Hitler?s family gets a residual check. So heads up, Arizona; that?s fascism. I know, I know, it?s a dry fascism, but it?s still fascism.
Also interesting to note: around half of the students there were of color. I didn't realize LaRouche had that kind of pull.
LaRouche pulls people in off college campuses. I remember a kid I hung out with Freshman year started hanging with this girl who handed out papers for LaRouche on campus. The next semester he was living in a shitty row home with a bunch of other "supporters". The next semester he dropped out. I saw him pretty often handing out fliers on campus and it was clear he didn't even remember me. He looked about 40 pounds lighter, ten years older and completely fucked in the head.
