Rep. Luis Gutierrez: Obama Must Act To Ease Arizona's Deportation Panic:
"It is open season on the Latino community in Arizona. In Phoenix, Tucson, and across the state, people in Latino neighborhoods are afraid to leave their houses, afraid to be apart from their children for even a minute, and afraid to walk the

What needs to happen is ... somehow ... Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor needs to be down in Arizona and get picked up by the police on "suspicion of being illegal".

It would never happen. I'm pretty sure all Supreme Court Justices have security details, but it would be funny as shit if someone that high profile got hit by this.

Scared Old White Folks

And this too shall pass, chica. As I said in JBlaque's LJ "Ain't Tancredo a dago name? I remember when they weren't white either." Of course, I also remember when the Irish were called 'monkeys' and a Dago was a Spaniard. ;D

I thought Obama told the AZ governor NOT to sign the bill, but he did anyway. It's a state issue, Obama really has no say in it. The people of AZ need to stand up to the people that pushed this through - not just the Latino community - all reasonable people. Maybe if someone told them how much this was going to cost them directly, for the police personnel and indirectly from people avoiding Arizona.

One would hope but bills like this are not about logic, They're about fear and pandering to people's insecurity.

Its not Obama its the bitch of a govenor they have... that racist whore... doubt anyone will vote for her next election.. . i feel bad for my raza though... and ur right the latino community needs to stand up for themselves... if they can't those of us that are legal and educated gotta do it for them.. marches.. idk but somethings gotta give!

I voted for Obama and I loved him but the facts are hard to deny. More people have been deported during his first year as POTUS than were deported the year before. Hundreds have died while in detention centers, some of which are private, secret facilities not known by the general public. He promised to address immigration reform but has barely touched on it. The result is states like AZ taking matters into their own hands and fucking it up royally.

Ya just makes it hard to know most of the latino vote made him our president :( Hope things change for these families
