A Colorado immigration rights group and Latinos in the lower Roaring Fork Valley circulated a petition Tuesday and Wednesday that “condemnsâ€

Does this mean that if I do something against the law and am being sought by law enforcement, I can have a break from worrying about being arrested whenever I am attending a festival?

Wherever I am is where I have a right to with all the goodies I can steal... right? After all, I just want a better life for me and my family and there are no good jobs to be had anymore for Americans, my car is falling apart, and I don't have enough money to buy good tacos anymore...

Duroux said, signing the petition could give Latinos a false sense of security that they cannot be arrested or detained on immigration issues at a public event in the town.

Even if it's a wishy washy answer, I'll take it. We all know illegals believe themselves to be "untouchable", this proves it ain't so. Personally had I been there, I'd have been cheering...
