SALT LAKE CITY -- "As Utah Latino community leaders are watching the activity on proposed immigration bills carefully, some of their community members are preparing to take drastic measures over fears of what will happen once an immigration bill is passed.

Saraih Frost, with the United for Social Justice organization, says the people she's talked to don't know the impact of the proposed immigration bills and they're scared of what will happen if they stay in Utah.

"I'm very afraid, but I'm also very hopeful that (legislators) will not pass laws like the one from [Rep. Steven] Sandstrom or the one that would repeal in state tuition, and others," Frost said.

She says she's encouraged by what happened in Arizona when the most controversial parts of the state's Senate Bill 1070 did not pass.

"Utah's a very unique state, where people are very in touch with their spiritual and humane side," Frost said.

Frost thinks the community meetings being held to educate people are effective and promote education and hope that a humane immigration bill will be passed."

Comment: don't you appreciate how they like to throw the word "humane" around as if anything else would be "inhumane?" In other words, they're trying to say that if laws are enforced, then those enforcing such laws are cruel and inhumane. By that logic, nobody would ever be arrested for crimes or spend time in jail as all law enforcement could be deemed inhumane.

What is cruel and inhumane is being forced by your own government to support outsiders while you and your fellow citizens struggle worse than ever before in history!
