the rule of law to this great nation. i see i'm joined by my friend in minnesota who i will yield to. mr. ellison: thank you for yielding. congressman keith ellison here from the state of minnesota and it's timely we're here to talk about immigration. the fact of the matter is, it's a symptom of congress' failure to pass comprehensive immigration reform that we get these draconian pieces of legislation such as were signed into law in arizona on april 23, 2010, just a few days ago. if the united states government would take hold of this immigration debate, pass comprehensive immigration reform, states would not have to resort to these extreme measures, unconstitutional in my view that arizona has taken. let me point out a few things. the law says that police officers can stop and detain people who are suspected of being illegal aliens and demand that they provide proof that they are u.s. citizens. the fact of the matter is, is that some people have said, keith this could make people who may have a brown complexion and dark hair, who sort of have a typical mexican appearance, that may subjec
