Do any other Chicanos support SB 1070?

It's the worst peace of immigration legislation passed through by Republicans...so far! ----------------------------------- Arizona’s Vicious New Anti-Immigrant Law Isn’t Just Racist; It’s Unconstitutional and Counterproductive The conservative “states’ rights” mantra sweeping our country has led to one of the most egregious wrongs in recent U.S. history. New legislation in Arizona requires law enforcement officers to stop everyone whom they have “reasonable suspicion” to believe is an undocumented immigrant and arrest them if they fail to produce their papers.

What constitutes “reasonable suspicion”? When asked what an undocumented person looks like, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, who signed SB 1070 into law last week, said, “I don’t know what an undocumented person looks like.” The bill does not prohibit police from relying on race or ethnicity in deciding who to stop.

It is unlikely that officers will detain Irish or German immigrants to check their documents. This law unconstitutionally criminalizes “walking while brown” in Arizona. SB 1070 is tearing our state into two,” said Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, who called the bill “bitter, small-minded and full of hate.

This bill does nothing to address human smuggling, the drug cartels, the arms smuggling,” according to Democratic Senator Rebecca Rios. Ironically, expelling unauthorized immigrants from Arizona would be costly. The Perryman Group calculated that Arizona would lose $26.4 billion in economic activity, $11.7 billion in gross state product, and approximately 140,324 jobs if all undocumented people were removed from the state.

Only as a ploy to get the feds to do their job. Even though most of SB1070 got tossed it's already causing disaster in the states that border AZ as hundreds of thousands of migrants pour into already overburdened jurisdictions. No American should be worried about his/her own safety.

Don't buy the hype, just carry your drivers license like you're supposed to anyway (or stick a photocopy of your birth certificate in your wallet). It's just really not that big of a deal to have to carry ID. You should always have ID on you anyway in case you're in an accident or something.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
