Amended Version Of New Arizona Immigration Law

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a bill Friday that makes changes to a controversial new state immigration law, saying the changes should ease concerns about racial profiling, according to a CNN.com story.

“These changes specifically answer legal questions raised by some who expressed fears that the original law would somehow allow or lead to racial profiling,” Brewer said in a statement after the signing. “These new amendments make it crystal clear and undeniable that racial profiling is illegal and will not be tolerated in Arizona.”

But opponents say the changes in the law won’t deter anything.
