It appears that [[liberal|liberals]] are ignorant in or have difficulty in reading the law. The purpose and goal of this article is not to give a comprehensive history of the bill, but so that everyone, especially liberals, can read and understand the bill and things related to the bill. Presented below are all of the 18 final pages of the '''Arizona Senate Bill 1070''' (also known as '''Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act''') so that liberals like the people mentioned above won’t have such a hard time reading the law.

Liberals, you have no excuse for not reading this bill. It actually prohibits, not encourage, [[racial profiling]].
