"The Handcuffs are Off.."

In a recent article in The Economist, Republican Senator of Arizona Russell Pierce is quoted as saying that the rough immigration reform law he proposed for his state will "remove the handcuffs" from police and sheriffs deputies so that they can do their work, but who's wrists will replace those of law enforcement in these handcuffs? Apparently the wrists of anybody who looks "suspicious" or just anybody who looks Latino. This law will basically give Arizona law enforcement the power to stop anybody who is Latino who looks Latino and demand their paperwork, and in my opinion that power lends itself to incredible racism.
