Tonight, Jon Stewart executed an [adjective meaning brilliant/funny] opening segment about Arizona's immigration bill. In it, Stewart threw a right hook at John McCain, a left hook at Fox News, and delivered a knockout against the bill itself. Video inside.

John McCain continues, comically, to move far to the right on immigration reform, for the noble purpose of winning his own primary. The former champion of creating paths to citizenship for illegal immigrants now just barks "no amnesty," like everyone.

The Justice Department will officially sue over Arizona's immigration law, as soon as Tuesday.

The city of Fremont, Nebraska voted on Monday to bar businesses from hiring and landlords from renting to illegal immigrants. The ACLU is already suing. This will definitely end well!

So Hillary Clinton really did blow the administration's rollout when she told an Ecuadorian television interviewer that the administration would sue over Arizona's immigration law, which a Justice Department official has now confirmed. How "old Hillary Clinton" of her.

Mint.com, the free personal finance site, put up a weirdly strident anti-immigration post on its Mintlife blog on Wednesday. Turns out, it's not just tacky, it's poorly-sourced—down to a citation for the openly racist anti-immigration site VDare.com.

Hillary Clinton very casually tells an Ecuadorian television interviewer that the "Justice Department, under [Obama's] direction, will be bringing a lawsuit against" Arizona's immigration law. This is a strange way to break huge news! Maybe she lies? [via Ben Smith]

Arizona spent $1.25 million to build 41 bridges over a busy mountain road to keep squirrels from harm. Sure, there aren't many Mount Graham red squirrels, but only five die on the road each year! Arizona: hates Mexicans, loves rodents.

Unmanned drones are convenient: You can kill bad people from thousands of feet in the air without having to see the whites of their eyes, or track down the license plate number of a speeding car... let law enforcement decide!

A new report called the Global Peace Index says that America is one big, violent place. So what exactly is taken into account when deciding which countries are the most peaceful, and where does America stand? Let's take a look.

A US border agent "performing bike patrol duties" shot and killed a 14-year-old Mexican boy for throwing rocks at him on a bridge between El Paso and Ciudad Juarez on Monday. The boy's parents say he was in Mexico.

You should feel awful for badmouthing Governor Jan Brewer, because she faces tough immigration issues that you can't understand. And when people call her Hitler's daughter it hurts, because her dad died fighting the dang Nazis. In California in 1955.

Yesterday officials from Washington "left little doubt that the Obama administration is prepared to go to court if necessary in a bid to block the new law." Governor Jan Brewer said she'd take it to the Supreme Court. [AP]

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer won her battle for racist immigration laws, but she's not done with her border war. Now she wants "the airplanes, the drones, the helicopters" from Afghanistan and Iraq patrolling her border.

Puerto Rican-born US citizen Eduardo Caraballo was arrested in Illinois and threatened with deportation—back to Mexico. Once officials got his birth certificate, it only took them three days to figure out he wasn't Mexican. Uh.

Fox News (who are admittedly pushing this angle) report that Utah, Rhode Island, Texas and Georgia are taking steps towards show-us-your-papers laws like Arizona's. They make no mention of an upcoming election, and the cynical political appeal of being 'tough'.

Sarah Palin, powerful Queen of Alaska, spoke today with her official town criers, Fox News, and said that with regard to immigration law, "Every other state on the border should emulate what Arizona has done." That means you, Montana.

Los Angeles voted to join the boycott on Arizona, and Arizona said, "bring it." Corporation commissioner Gary Pierce says "Arizona's utilities would be happy" to cripple L.A.'s electrical supply, much of which they control. It's an interstate commerce catfight!

Visiting Washington, Mexican President Felipe Calderon called Arizona's immigration proposal "discrimination," arguing for "a border that will unite us instead of dividing us." Then he shouted, "Yes we can!" throwing Arizona's rednecks into conniptions for a totally different reason. [Sun-Times]

Sarah Palin dropped by Phoenix on Saturday to visit Arizona's brave new experiment in arresting Latinos. And guess what: She loved it! And if you hate it? Well, you only have your favorite black president to blame!
