Arizona immigration law sparks controversy
April 23, 2010 — The western US state of Arizona has enacted the toughest immigration law in the country aimed at cracking down on hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants.
Barack Obama, the US president, has called the law "misguided" and expressed concern over possible civil rights implications.
Activists say the new legislation legalizes racial profiling and discrimination, and right groups have vowed to take their case to the nation's highest courts.
The new legislation is likely to reignite a national debate on the reform of the US federal immigration system, as Al Jazeera's Monica Villamizar explains. (Apr 24, 2010)

April 23, 2010
Singapore. A top Asian fund manager said on Wednesday the civil fraud allegations against massive Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs was a smokescreen to divert attention from the financial crisis in the United States.
Goldman is being investigated for fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Britain’s market watchdog.
It has also been learned that banks here in Asia are using the US bank’s woes to get an edge on multimillion-dollar fee-paying deals in the region.
Marc Faber, who runs Hong Kong-based fund manager Marc Faber, described the lawsuit against Goldman Sachs as a hunt for scapegoats amid economic problems faced by the US.
“The target now is Goldman Sachs. You distract the masses with a villain,” he said at the Asian Public Real Estate Association Forum in Singapore. Goldman’s leading role on Wall Street, coupled with massive paychecks to staff and bumper profits, make it an obvious target, Faber said.
