A judge on Wednesday blocked key parts of Arizona's tough new immigration law hours before it was to take effect. Now, a YouTube video shows a man who is not an Immigration official approaching foreign workers at a local construction site and asking if they are here legally. Is this the tip of the iceberg of the behavior we can expect? "The issue of immigration in these hard times is always going to have traction, because people know there are 11 to 12 million illegal persons in the United States who aren't supposed to be here who are working jobs that American workers would like to have for themselves," said Jan Ting, a professor at Temple's Beasley School of Law.
