Nearly 50 activists from across the country are in the Valley to protest Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's immigration policies. The National Day Laborers Organizing Network teamed up with local community leaders.

The activists went door-to-door in Phoenix Friday evening, asking Hispanic families if they've been racially profiled by sheriff's deputies. They also held a meeting where they videotaped testimonials of people alleging civil rights violations. Organizers plan to send the tapes to the Department of Justice and Congress, urging federal officials to intercede and reform immigration law.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office urges anyone with a racial profiling complaint to contact the FBI, adding Arpaio will keep enforcing the law.

Isn't going door to door to only hispanics racial profiling???

I'm sure they are. Why don't they also ask them if they think America is a country in which the majority of their citizens are racists, nativists, and xenophobic simply because they want illegal invaders gone and our immigration laws enforced. Or was that last months question?

Talk about a suggestive endeavor, almost guaranteed to produce the results they are looking for.

How can anyone in a position of authority take the results of this seriously. I guess every hispanics that has ever been pulled over in Phoenix will now claim that stop was the result of racial profiling!

LOL! Does the insanity ever end with these people...

What will they think of next? The National Illegal Aliens of America?

Anyone can come up with a story. Its all hearsay. Just to form a group who goes door to door asking if Hispanics are being "racially profiled" is plain stupid and ridiculous. What is it about these people anyway?!

And not to mention the waste of precious fuel to do this "scientific" survey.
