If's Nacho Day If...

That Arizona law borders on racial profiling…
I hope your name is not Jose
if you are headed Phoenix-way.
They may think you're from Mexico
and start to read your rights.
It's nacho day in posh Scottsdale
if you are jailed till posting bail
for saying "buenos dias"
to a stranger on the street.
Don't order tacos in Tucson
especially if your name is Juan.
They'll capture you red-handed
for that salsa really stains.
That new law borders on insane.
No wonder critics are inflamed.
If racial profiling's deemed right
then something's deeply wrong.
Illegals can't sneak north unchecked!
But how you seek out and detect
if someone you suspect's a fraud
should not shame those who aren't.
I thought that Lady Liberty
said refugees were safe and free.
Or does that statue now exceed
its limitations?
