    AZ: Group urges governor to veto immigration bill

    Group urges governor to veto immigration bill

    Associated Press - April 23, 2008 3:04 PM ET

    PHOENIX (AP) - Hispanic civil rights advocates are urging Gov. Janet Napolitano to veto a proposed law requiring city and county police agencies to start programs to confront immigration violations.

    Somos America, a coalition of groups that has organized immigration protests in Phoenix, says the measure would lead to racial profiling, damage the Latino community's cooperation with police and is unnecessary because federal law already allows for local police to get federal immigration training.

    The Democratic governor declined to comment on the bill during a news briefing Wednesday. The bill won final approval in the Legislature Monday.

    It would force police to be trained to spot immigration violations or take other steps to beef up enforcement.

    Doesn't it seem like Latino's are trying to change an ethnic group into a race?

    Isn't using the term 'racial profiling' as a battle cry for non enforcement of our laws one step in the direction of making us a lawless nation?

    How can justice be fairly dispensed in a court of law without knowing the citizenship/legal status of the defendant?

    Hasn't 'racial profiling' become a code word for the open border advocates?

    "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power."

    Don't see how this is a racial profiling issue since it specifically mentions people who are residing ILLEGALLY in the US. Illegal aka against the law.
