And they know perfectly well that there's no (legal) way to apply it only to brown people who speak funny, the way the Popular Party wants to.

I'm not clear about this point: do you mean they don't advocate such a line (and perhaps distinguish themselves from the DF over that explicitely); or that they go along with the DF but don't play up this point?

It's not exactly clear from the soundbites in the news reports, but the Social Liberals are talking about "the same rules for Americans that the Americans have for Europeans" while the Popular Party are talking about "checking people from the US more closely - especially brown people."

Such subtlety is generally lost in the astonishment that R and DF have managed to agree on the general outline of a law. There's so much personal animosity between those two parties that it'd be a newsworthy story if they agreed that the sky is blue.
