SAN DIEGO - The San Diego Unified School District Board of Education will consider Tuesday warning its students and parents against travel to Arizona, where a new immigration law was recently adopted.

A resolution proposed by school board President Richard Barrera condemns the legislation, demands its repeal, and cautions students and family from spending time in Arizona "due to the risk they may face in being subjected to inappropriate and unlawful scrutiny.''

The new Arizona law allows local law enforcement officers there to question people on their immigration status if they have been stopped for any other reasonable cause, has been condemned by political bodies from the San Diego City Council to the Obama administration.

However, polls consistently show support for Arizona among most of the public, with the federal government catching blame for failing to stop illegal immigration.

According to the proposed resolution scheduled to be taken up at a meeting Tuesday evening, 44 percent of SDUSD students are Hispanic and 75 percent are non-white.

Those students could "potentially be targeted and harassed by law enforcement officials in Arizona as `reasonably suspect' if they fall into a stereotype held by law enforcement officers,'' the resolution states.

"The law undermines fundamental civil rights and civil liberties, and poses a special threat to people of color who live in and travel through Arizona,'' it saID.

The resolution states that the new law "criminalizes unlawful presence.''

The San Diego City Council passed a resolution last week condemning Arizona's immigration stance. Only Councilman Carl DeMaio dissented.

give me a break, since when does anyone have a right to tell others where they can or cant travel in the US

Oh shut up.

W

pro illegal, open borders idiots are doing their best to give arizona a hard time...They can suggest whatever they want in their bid to push their political agenda, but they cant give anyone orders, and they look ridiculous making these suggestions to citizens and guests of the US anyways...

Another La Raza member reaction. There are alot here in California.

La Raza is behind most of the Hispanic backlash.

Wish I could get a members list.

We used to be warned about driving to Kansas because they'd stop you for speeding if you had an out of state tag, arrest you and detain you until you paid the ticket. And we were citizens.

Don't these people get it? Over 60% of Americans approve of this law.

i think for some reason they think Arizona cares what San Diego thinks. Isn't that funny? Hey San Diego Unified School District, Arizona doesn't give a flying frig what you think of their new immigration law. Your "school board" is as much responsible for the bankrupt pathetic condition of California as any. If you want to drag your state down into the gutter, have at it. Other states don't want that life for their citizens, and bless Arizona for having the guts to do something about it and doing it right.

But I have a very strong suspicion that the San Diego Unified School District doesn't speak for the people of San Diego or the people of California. So take your resolution and shove it where the sun don't you shine, you low-down, low-life pro-illegal alien anti-American pond scum remnants.

Hey, I know, lets have a Wild Fires Boycott in San Diego, how about that, San Diego Unified School District? We'll leave you in your dry grasses with all the illegal aliens you can welcome, all to yourselves.

Would you like that? Maybe we're sick and tired of wasting billions fighting Wild Fires in California, in places where you shouldn't be living to begin with. Huh? How about that? Huh? Huh? Huh? You want a BOYCOTT WAR? Well, then lets HAVE US a BOYCOTT WAR.

You can call MEXICO and GUATEMALA to put our your fires for you next time, cuz we're going to be too busy passing the FairTax and school vouchers nd PRIVATIZING K-12 EDUCATION, so American Kids won't have to be exposed to your Grand Stupidity and Open Borders Treason.

If I am not mistaken, it was ILLEGALS that started those fires in 2008.

San Diego is FULL OF ILLEGALS. Why would Arizona want more illegals coming to their state? They are trying TO GET RID OF ILLEGALS. So the school district asking students not to go to Arizona is a favor. Thats like Mexico telling Mexicans not to go to the USA....LOL.
