July 29 was a day of civil unrest across the country as hundreds took to the streets to protest Arizona's SB 1070. In Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio wasted no time rounding up protesters. A total of at least 50 people were arrested in Phoenix after peacefully confronting police dressed in riot gear, including several journalists covering the story ( Read more... )

:/ why am I not surprised by this?

Also, there's something about the phrase "immigration sweep" that makes me cringe so badly.

As usual, don't read the comments at the source. And if I have to hear someone say that "Everybody that is not in this country legally: PLEASE LEAVE! Go home and apply to enter this country legally. If you are here illegally you are a criminal, please leave" again I WILL SLAP THEM ACROSS THE FACE WITH THIS

Sadly, most of the people you'd slap this with would be like, "OH WELL, SUCKS TO BE THEM!!"

HEY IF MY WHITE ANCESTORS WERE ABLE TO EMIGRATE TO THE US AND ASSIMILATE THROUGH COMPLETELY LEGAL MEANS THESE BROWN FOLK FROM LATIN AMERICA CAN DO IT TOO!

MY GREAT GRANDMA DIDN'T GET ANY HANDOUTS SO THESE PEOPLE SHOULDN'T GET ANY EITHER!!

(actually, my great-grandma came from italy to enter into an arranged marriage as she was in her 30s and and ~old maid~. her husband-to-be was a widower who needed a woman to take care of his son. he eventually got deported, leaving her with seven children, including his son that wasn't even biologically hers. my grandmother was raised on handouts. /cool story bro)

This guy enjoys torturing innocent people in order to support his racist, xenophobic agenda. He deserves every ounce of hate that comes his way. Too bad hate alone can't make him disintegrate away from existence though.

MTE. It's a real testament to how fucking racist and fucked up we are right now in the U.S. that he can get away with this shit under the guise of law.
