All real Arizonans know it’s a pain in the AZ to racially-profile, harass, arrest and then deport people who look different from you! That’s why Gov. Jan Brewer is pleased to announce her automagic, high-tech, made-in-America, job-creating final solution for all those damn Mexicans.

Inspired by pioneering self-deportationist Daniel D. Portado, Brewja is introducing nifty new Self-Deportation Stations that make racism look quick, easy and clean.

Not only did GOP nominee wannabe Mitt Romney adopt POCHO Jefe-in-Chief Lalo Alcaraz’sself deportation” political hoax as an actual campaign position, he has now named former Califas Gov. Pete Wilson as his honorary campaign chair for the Golden State. Alcaraz invented “Daniel D. Portado,” the militant self-deportationist, in response to racist Wilson’s Prop 187 anti-immigration stance.

In this clip from MSNBC (which aired Thursday evening) Rachel Maddow runs down the history of Alcaraz’s hoax character and fake campaign and how they infected the Republican immigration debate.
