Latino Citizen Deportation is NEXT on the List for Racist Politicians!

RawStory.com reports: Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) wants to deport the U.S.-born CITIZEN children of illegal immigrant (0 - 50 years old), according to a statement he made at a Saturday tea party gathering, the Los Angeles Times reported. After being asked if he would support deporting those children, Hunter said, "it takes more than just walking across the border to become an American citizen - it's what's in our souls."

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Would you support deportation of natural-born American citizens that are the children of illegal aliens?

HUNTER: I would have to, yes. It's a complex issue and ... you could look and say, 'You're a mean guy. That's a mean thing to do. That's not a humanitarian thing to do.' " Hunter added, "We simply cannot afford what we're doing right now. We just can't afford it. California's going under.

Hunter confirmed his comments to the
North County Times, adding that he also supports House Resolution 1868, introduced last year but stalled in a House committee. The measure calls for the elimination of automatic citizenship of children born in the United States to illegal immigrants.

Guest Voz - Toppermost, an AZ Resident: Conservatives Supporting HB1070 Know It Racial Profiling will occur but JUST DON'T CARE!

Guest Voz: Toppermost (Internet Commenter) Arizona Resident:
I live in Arizona. As you can imagine a liberal like me is something of a novelty here. In fact the only people more liberal than I am are the college students. After many a conversation with the conservatives here about this bill, their overwhelming response to the racial profiling issue is basically: “I don't care.” And its true, they do not. They are aware of what racial profiling is. They are aware of the pernicious effects that it might have on a society with more than one culture in it. But they LITERALLY do not care. And they no longer really even bother to hide it here in Arizona. They are more than willing to pull over America citizens who happen to be dark-skinned in their crusade to get rid of the Mexicans. They are FOR RACIAL PROFILING. It is getting scary here. And its going to continue spread to wherever the Cheney/Palin/Tea Party kind of republican exist.

URGENT BREAKING NEWS: SB1070 Sponsor Said Bill DOES NOT ALLOW "REASONABLE SUSPICION!" HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS IN HIS OWN BILL! (OR HE'S LYING)

URGENT URGENT URGENT BREAKING NEWS:
AZ STATE SENATOR HUPPENTHAL, SPONSOR OF SB1070, SAID THE BILL DOES NOT SUPPORT OFFICERS STOPPING A PERSON FOR "REASONABLE SUSPICION!" HE SAID THAT WOULD BE RACIAL PROFILING!! HE SAID THEY COULD ONLY ASK IMMIGRATION STATUS IF THEY HAVE BEEN STOPPED IN SUSPICION OF COMMITTING ANOTHER CRIME!

LET'S GET HIM ON TAPE AND POST IT ON YOUTUBE!
HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS IN THE BILL HE SPONSORED. IT IS ALL ON HARDBALL.

HARDBALL IS ON AGAIN AT 6:00 CT!

From SB1070:
Enforcement of Immigration Law
· Prohibits officials and agencies of this state or counties, municipalities and political subdivisions from restricting or limiting the enforcement of the federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted by federal law.
· Requires officials and agencies to reasonably attempt to determine the immigration status of a person involved in a legitimate contact where reasonable suspicion exists regarding the immigration status of the person.


Here is Arpaio's interpretation of SB1070: In a press conference over the weekend, Arpaio said the law -- which requires police to question people about their immigrant status if they suspect they are here illegally -- offers his office "another tool to fight the illegal immigration problem." He added that it "will give us a little more authority" to detain illegal immigrants who aren't accused of other crimes.

Guest Voz: Axel W. Caballero - "No Brownies Welcome: the Arizona Persecution"

Guest Voz: Axel W. Caballero. (contributor and host of Cuentame)
Huffington Post: Today is a sad day for America. Especially for us Latinos who see this as a major setback in the fight for equality and civil rights. The immigration bill signed into law by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is not one designed to curb illegal immigration, but rather it legalizes racial persecution and institutionalizes discrimination. It represents the first outcome -- of many to come -- pushed and supported by the hateful rhetoric peddled time and again by the Tea Party and many of its followers. Worst of all, there is no longer a disguise or an attempt to hide behind the cloak of an economic argument. It is the latent persecution of those who fail to fit the "American Citizen" model created by the imagination of Teabaggers, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and the full array of cronies demanding to take a country back that never belonged exclusively to them.
The signs have been there all along. For the past month, the Latino group Cuéntame has chronicled the racist agenda within the Tea Party and the targeting of our Latino constituency as a whole.
Through a series of videos Cuéntame exposed the racial slurs, the violent actions and the hatred only to be dismissed as political hackery. Now the provocation becomes a reality, the threats become politics and the hatred becomes law.
This is what the Tea Party wanted all along. This is what FOX network, its biggest megaphone, had hoped for: A country willing to sacrifice its civil rights for an invisible sense of relief based on a false pretension that the country is or will be white and monolithic.

Just picture what the new law entails? A law enforcement official hears you speaking Spanish or English with an accent, they stop you and ask to see a passport. You might or might not carry it at that moment. You are detained indefinitely, hours - even days. How about if you happen to be walking while brown, I sure know my family does all the time. According to the law, this could possibly well be evidence of being "illegal." Your appearance, your clothes, your language, your location, your activities or anything that may trigger suspicion - regardless of whether it is actually suspicious or not - is grounds for detention. That is called persecution here and especially in China.

This is precisely the main reason why we need a humane and intelligent immigration reform. The longer it takes for Congress to take action, the more of these obscene local and state laws we'll see coming out of the woodwork. There's a leadership vacuum at the federal level on immigration and it needs to be filled by President Obama. In today's America this can no longer happen. Without a doubt the law will eventually be stricken down as unconstitutional, but not before many families are broken and many lives are impacted. This is a direct threat and attack to the Latino community. Latinos we must organize - and show our strengths at the polls. We must tell Gov. Jan Brewer, she is the one no longer welcome. We must tell Sen. McCain he is no longer welcome, and we must tell the AZ state legislature THEY are too no longer welcome.
This is the time for us to mobilize for immigration reform is NOW.

Open Letter to President Obama re: HB1070 Racial Profiling Bill

Dear President Obama,

Thank you for speaking out against the Racial Profiling bill HB1070. Unfortunately, Gov. Brewer, anxious to be elected, signed the bill, regardless of the impact on Latinos in Arizona.

While we attempt to look for a bright side by hoping this negative bill will be a trigger to initiate Comprehensive Immigration Reform so you can put in place measures to truly fix our current broken immigration policies, I believe there is something else you can do.

Please ask Janet Napolitano and the FBI to announce to the country their finding in the investigation of Maricopa County's Sheriff Arpaio and his gang of masked volunteer henchmen. I know the FBI has interviewed numerous Latinos who have come forward with details/proof of their racial profiling experience by the sheriff's goons. Please bring forward all the details the FBI's investigation has identified. Showcase this evidence to the country. Please include the over $40 million dollars in civil lawsuits he has incurred in Maricopa County.

There are those, like White Supremist supported state senator Russell Pearce, the man who intiated this racial profiling bill, who want to use arpaio's tactics as a role model. Now is the time to expose the evil sheriff for all of his wrong doings. Bring the facts to the American Public. Let arpaio's example prove "what NOT to do."

We the People implore you, President Obama. Speak for Truth, Justice and the American Way. Keep our Constitution, our Freedoms and our Civil Liberties in tact. Please do not let this Racial Profiling bill hurt any more Latinos in Maricopa County or across the state. We have faith in you that you will do that right thing!

God Bless You,
Dee

Death Threats in Arizona to Latino Dem Congressman from Right Wing Extremist!

Congressman Raul Grijalva, a Latino Congressman from Arizona, has been very vocal about his opposition to the passage of HB1070. He has appeared on several cable news shows including MSNBC and CNN. On MSNBC yesterday he voiced his concerns about racial profiling and the violations of Civil Liberties. Congressman Grijalva said assuredly he and his staff would be racially profiled with his Latino features. Today, an HB1070 supporter called the Congressman's office and threatened to KILL his staff members and the Congressman. He also threatened he will be "exercising his Civil Liberties and I'm shooting Mexicans at the border!"
It appears the Racial Profiling, threats and violence against ANYONE who APPEARS LATINO in Arizona has Begun!! May God have Mercy on us ALL!
BOYCOTT ARIZONA! BOYCOTT ARIZONA! BOYCOTT ARIZONA! (For Your Own Safety!!)
CNN Reports:
(CNN) - An unidentified person made two phone calls and threatened to blow up Rep. Raul Grijalva's Tucson, Arizona office and kill his staff members, forcing the Democratic congressman to close his two district offices late Friday morning local time. "It was the same guy," Grijalva's communications director Adam Sarvana told CNN. "He threatened to blow everyone's brains out in the Tucson office."

Grijalva arrived in his district from Washington Thursday night and was in the office at the time the second call came through. The caller also said he was going to be "exercising my civil liberties and I'm shooting Mexicans at the border," according to Ruben Reyes, Grijalva's district director, who fielded one of the calls. Reyes said tensions are running high in the state as a Saturday deadline nears for Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to decide to either sign or veto a controversial immigration bill that would require police to question people if there's reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally. Grijalva urged Brewer to veto the legislation. Sgt. Fabian Pacheco of the Tucson police department told CNN that the department was cooperating with federal and state authorities.

"We have some promising leads," he said, noting that the calls were made from a cell phone with a Phoenix area code. Sarvana said both offices, in Tucson and Yuma, Arizona, would reopen on Monday morning.

Grijalva staffer Ruben Reyes said the office has been flooded with calls all week about Senate Bill 1070. About 25 percent are "very racist" in nature, Reyes said, characterizing some as "telling that tortilla-eating wetback to go back to Mexico."
