New Arizona immigration law upsets liberals

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) signed a controversial, to some, immigration bill that authorizes state authorities to request an immigrant's documentation.
The bill was previously passed by the state legislature.
In the law, a person can be asked for documentation by authorities if he or she appears to be an illegal alien.
Part of the reasoning for this law is the ongoing drug cartel war going on in northern Mexico that has spilled over onto the American side of the border on some occasions. In many cases, kidnappings and murders have occurred in the border violence, but President Obama sees a problem with this law. Go figure.
According to the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, this law is constitutional. However, some, say that this law is unconstitutional, including those in the Obama administration and Rev. Al Sharpton, who only cares because he sees money in this issue.

Here is Sharpton on his radio show that nobody heard on the airwaves:
