I remember having a similar experience around 2010 when Arizona passed a state Bill essentially saying that they were going to do the feds job in protecting the southern border. all the news was denouncing it it as a racist 'No Mexicans' bill, saying the police were going to go door to door, arresting brown people, and checking them over the border.
the reality was that it was just a provision to guard the southern border, and several of my friends relented when they actually read the bill along with me.
