Politicians to Austin Residents all are weighing in on Arizona's tough law designed to combat illegal immigration. Protests against Arizona's new immigration law, are taking place all across the country, including in the City of Austin.

At Hoovers Cooking in East Austin Friday, the lunch crowd is as diverse as the menu and so are their points of view on this issue.

“I think it’s a slippery slope giving the power to officials to ask for paper work,â€

My concern is if they travel to Arizona they are going to be at risk of being harassed, put in jail by accident because of this new law,â€

One thing is for sure, most of our city, state and federal leaders are completely out of touch with the majority of Americans.

You wanna know what's really sad? I'm a liberal, so I am a member of typically liberal forums. They posted a story about the MLB boycotting AZ. As a response, I posted the story about the AZ deputy that was shot and showed them why AZ needed to pass this. The response? "If they don't have the guy in custody, how do they know he's an undocumented "illegal" immigrant? Oh, that's right... he had brown skin... they must all be illegal"

Ummmm......maybe because AZ is on the SOUTHERN border and I highly doubt a white Canadian was the one that shot the guy? I love my brothers and sisters from both sides of politics, but these uber-liberals are really starting to piss me off. They have NO clue, because they are sheltered from the insanity, yet they think they have the right to tell AZ or anybody what to do?

Tell your lib friends the Deputy said they were illegals carrying pot bales (Usually to pay for being smuggled into USA).I trust the AZ law enforcements judgement much more then some know it all Lib. who has never been to the border or is a IA or IA citizen,anchor baby relative.
