As a once-kid who used to take shortcuts across open ranch land, this bill would give land owners a license to kill:

The bill comes as an Arizona rancher awaits trial after he was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault for killing 48-year-old Gabriel Cuen-Butimea after he shot at a group of unarmed migrants walking through his 170-acre ranch outside of Nogales. Under its provisions, 73-year-old George Alan Kelly would have been justified for allegedly killing any of the migrants.

    Do racists in particular have a lot of brown skinned people trespassing on their property?

    Because this bill as proposed says nothing about immigrants, illegal or otherwise or about skin color. It just flat out extends the Castle Doctrine to the property line instead of stopping at the interior wall of the residence.
