All non-teabaggers are rightly concerned about the Arizona Anti-Brown-Person Law. It's a cause for racial profiling and harassment of any non-blonde-whites in Arizona.
The law could be challenged on civil rights grounds and may be unconstitutional or preempted by federal law. Litigation would take years to determine those issues.
But here's something that could be done immediately.
Whether or not the Arizona law is valid, the federal government has a duty to ensure that civil rights are respected. To accomplish that duty, they need data about how the Arizona law is being carried out.
So make a new law:
Every time an Arizona law enforcement officer asks a brown person for his or her papers, they have to file a detailed report with the US Department of Justice Civil Rights Division.
We want to know who did the stop, when and where it occurred, what the pretext was, what the result was, and so on, and so on.
File it with the DOJ within three days of the stop.
And it will be a federal crime not to comply.
It will slow them down and provide a factual basis for challenging the Arizona law in court. Make them give the DOJ the ammunition to take them down.
