On April 23, 2010, Arizona governor Jan Brewer signed into law SB-1070, a law that requires "law enforcement officers to demand immigration papers from anyone they have a 'reasonable suspicion' may be in the country illegally." Opponents of the law have "called it an open invitation for harassment and discrimination against Hispanics regardless of their citizenship status." In response, director Robert Rodriguez has made the trailer for his Mexsploitation film Machete into a special message for Arizona.

Historical note: The kind of deliberate provocation of those that would support laws like SB-1070 is not now. A decade and half earlier, the Satanic, human-sacrificing, border crossing, drug dealing, headbangers Brujerìa responded to California governor Pete Wilson's passage Proposition 187 with a song titled Raza Odiada (lyrics).

Oklahoma country singer Geronimo Trevino wrote a hell of a song called "My heroes have always killed cowboys."
