The difference is that Lord Obama wants one but not the other.

Good puzzle...and you want to know the answer...their is no difference. Both are wrong and unconstitutional.
Anyone who supports one and not the other is being a hypocrite. Both are intrusive.

I disagree as I am anything BUT a hypocrite. I support the Arizona law attempting to regulate the influx of illegals immigrants..CRIMINALS into our country. I do NOT approve of being forced to accept Obama's Dreadful Health Care Bill or else pay up!

The difference, that I can see, is, one follows the federal law that has been in place since 1940 and the other takes your right to choose away from you and steals your money. One hasn't been put into practice very much by the federal government and the other probably will be.

Thank you for sharing that. It's quite an eye opener and it makes my point about the immigration laws not being followed.

Cheetos?
I don't know. The latter actually seems more intrusive to me. Now, if every Mexican-looking person is going to be subject to harassment for simply being in Arizona, then obviously I'm wrong.
But both things being equal, assuming you were to judge both on their written merits, the healthcare is actually a lot more intrusive in that it covers everyone that doesn't have religious exemption, whereas the Arizona law forces police to already be lawfully engaged and then to have reasonable suspicion before asking for papers.
(It's not that I think EITHER of these things will go as they're planned to go. But you have to judge them that way in comparison since neither are in effect yet.)
So I do see a difference. The federal government's healthcare legislation is far more intrusive in terms of wanting papers. But, of course, the Arizona thing is spun to meant only dark-skinned people, so the "Seig heil! Zee papers!" and all that gets people stirred up.
And I think it's pretty telling that Arizona's law is just federal law rewritten to clean it up and eliminate racial profiling altogether. What were the feds planning!?

Arizona only requires certain people to show identification that they belong in the country, and to show it at any time. How many Canadians do you think are going to get checked?

sierras236 Great comment! How did Canadians get into this discussion!. I have never heard of in an influx of Canadians illegally in our country. Why is Themetallion singling out Canadians as potential illegal (criminal) immigrants????

I don't know how many of illegal Canadians (or illegal Europeans, for that matter) that are in the country are in Arizona, but apparently more than you think. In the meanwhile, how many Mexicans are in Arizona and now subject to harassment perfectly legally? How many Americans Citizens of Mexican descent are in Arizona now face arrest if they leave their home without ID to produce on demand?
I thought the answer to your "real puzzler" was implicit, but I guess I can spell it out: Verifying health care coverage to the IRS falls equally on all citizens. Verifying citizenship in Arizona falls unevenly, and falls along racial lines.

As I follow what is required of me by law then I have no problems showing the necessary documentation when I have nothing to hide. I approve of the Arizona law as it is to protect our country from being overrun by illegals/criminals. However I do not approve of the government using threatening tactics to force people to accept the Obama Health Care Bill.
