ACLU, NAACP, MALDEF join lawsuit over Arizona immigration law
-
- May
- 17
The Arizona immigration law SB 1070 is scheduled to go into effect July 28, but attorneys behind a lawsuit say they will prevent that from happening. The ACLU, NAACP, and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund are among the groups behind the complaint.
You can read the complaint (by downloading the PDF file) here.
Here are two of the individual plaintiffs, as summarized by the National Immigration Law Center:
One of the individuals the coalition is representing in the case, Jim Shee, is a U.S.-born 70-year-old American citizen of Spanish and Chinese descent. Shee asserts that he will be vulnerable to racial profiling under the law, and that, although the law has not yet gone into effect, he has already been stopped twice by local law enforcement officers in Arizona and asked to produce his “papers.”Another plaintiff, Jesus Cuauhtémoc Villa, is a resident of the state of New Mexico who is currently attending Arizona State University. The state of New Mexico does not require proof of U.S. citizenship or immigration status to obtain a driver’s license. Villa does not have a U.S. passport and does not want to risk losing his birth certificate by carrying it with him. He worries about traveling in Arizona without a valid form of identification that would prove his citizenship to police if he is pulled over. If he cannot supply proof upon demand, Arizona law enforcement is required to arrest and detain him.

I WONDER OUT OF ALL THESE PEOPLE PROTESTING, HOW MANY ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS? IT’S FUNNY TO ME HOW PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE ILLEGALLY FEEL THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THIS COUNTRY. IF THEY DON’T LIKE IT, THEY ARE MORE THEN WELCOME TO LEAVE.
My responce is a bit more to the point. Go back where you came from
What can I say about the two above replies? This is why the rest of us look stupid: It’s always some ‘tard who hasn’t discovered the caps lock key or doesn’t know how to spell “response” who always replies first.
The truth is, there are people like me who are 100% behind LEGAL immigration. My father and many cousins, aunts and uncles came here to escape an oppressive Muslim country, they learned English, they studied and they became citizens.
Having valid concerns about illegal immigration does not make you ignorant, although the two previous replies certainly help the cause of the Leah Raes of the world, who cannot be bothered to acknowledge federal law and view anything that diverts from their agenda as absurd and ignorant.
But we have a right to be concerned about shouldering a crushing tax burden because we’re paying for social services, education and healthcare for the illegal immigrant community. We have a right to be concerned when United Hospital closes down, and 14 emergency centers in the LA-area have closed in the past five years because illegal immigrants are using ERs as primary care.
We have a right to question politicians who somehow keep a straight face and say they’re serious about national security, when the borders are wide open and we have no idea who comes across them. All the airport screening and subway security in the world won’t help us when our borders are open.
And we have a right to question why the media and politicians in other states are trying to shame Arizona into stopping its effort to enforce federal law.
Somehow, it’s become racist, outrageous and offensive to enforce our laws, when in reality both political parties have sold out on existing citizens with an eye to the future, because they see illegal immigrants as potential voters.
And so we have writers like Leah Rae, who has written biased and irresponsible stories on immigration for years and really, really wants to help usher in the day when illegal immigrants can vote; Rae and her immigrant friends can put an end to that barbaric two-party rule, to live in eternal peace and happiness under the benevolent reign of unopposed Democrats. Unfortunately, brainless ideologically-driven “diversity” isn’t a formula for prosperity, as evidenced by the failed efforts of Ms. Rae’s employers, who as recently as five or six years ago were publicly saying “diversity” would save their industry. Ms. Rae is trying to get her last few shots in before her newspaper folds along with the rest of them, but thankfully the same internet that’s killing newspapers is also giving us a wealth of news sources that aren’t pushing an agenda.
Ms. Rae, your days of serving as an irresponsible information filter and print liar are coming to a close. I’ll be sad if you’re out of a job, because I hate to see anyone suffer through unemployment, but I’ll be very happy when you no longer have an audience.
Cheers.
