What The Hell Is Up With Arizona?

[manu1959]

if a hispanic robbed your home killed your wife and rapped your daughter would you want the police to not question hipanics.....

Except a hispanic has done none of these things to me. However, I'm sure plenty of white people do these sort of things to others too. So how come white people aren't having Big Brother laws against them if this is about crime?

are mexican nationals breaking the law by entering this country by other than legal means.....

 

[Modbert]

Breaking the Law is breaking the Law, if you go to jail, get fined, whatever, and when you are pulled over by the cops for Drunk driving you are required to show License and registration, and if that license is suspect they will also ask for other identification.

Oh the horror.

Being Hispanic is against the law now?

Tell me how this is nothing but a law that will be used against one race. Go ahead, try and bullshit your way out of that one.

This is what leads to things like REAL ID act, and Verichips.

I know you may not actually give a damn what this man has to say, but it bears repeating:

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety," - Benjamin Franklin.

Being here WOP (without papers) is ILLEGAL.

The Italians are called WOPs because at one point there were so many here without papers. The ones who made it here ILLEGALLY were rounded up and sent back. No sympathy for them, though. No sireee. They're European.

What part of NOT LEGAL, as in AGAINST THE LAW, as in A CRIME, don't you get Doggie?

 

[Modbert]

are mexican nationals breaking the law by entering this country by other than legal means.....

Irrelevant to my questions and you know it. This is a law that is going to be used solely against one race and likely against plenty of American citizens. You frauds who call yourself small government and lovers of liberty need to look yourselves in the mirror and be ashamed.

Does the law SPECIFY that it should ONLY be used against those of Hispanic descent?

I haven't seen the law, so I can't comment to that specific point.

However, I suspect very much this law applies to ANYONE who is here without papers--without regard to their nationality (not RACE, as you say). In other words, if they are here ILLEGALLY. AGAINST THE LAW. WITHOUT PERMISSION.

Please, someone, post the *actual language of the law* that singles out Hispanics.

If someone can or will do that, I will join you in your outrage.

Thank you.

Most of unauthorized migrants came from Mexico. There were an estimated
6.2 million unauthorized Mexican migrants in 2005, or 56% of the
unauthorized population.

About 2.5 million unauthorized migrants, or 22% of the total, have come from the
rest of Latin America, primarily from Central America. Unauthorized
migrants from Mexico and the rest of Latin America represented 78% of the
unauthorized population in 2005.

There were about 1.5 million unauthorized migrants from the Asian
continent in 2005, representing about 13% of the total. Europe and Canada accounted for
600,000, or 6%, and Africa and other countries for about 400,000, or 3%.

Arizona ‘birther’ bill forces Obama to show birth certificate | Raw Story

On Monday, the Arizona state Senate voted in favor of a controversial immigration bill that would "make it a state crime for illegal immigrants to not have an alien registration document," the AP reports. "It also would require police to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they're in the country illegally."

That clause about questioning people without suspicion has raised the ire of civil libertarians, who say it will infringe on basic human rights. On Sunday, the head of the US's largest Catholic diocese compared the law to "Nazi" and "communist tactics" used to sniff out dissidents.

"I can't imagine Arizonans now reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques whereby people are required to turn one another in to the authorities on any suspicion of documentation," Cardinal Roger Mahoney wrote on his blog, describing the bill as "the country's most retrogressive, mean-spirited, and useless anti-immigrant law."

Groups oppose Arizona immigration law | JTA - Jewish & Israel News

WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Three national Jewish groups urged Arizona's governor to veto a bill that would force local authorities to enforce federal immigration law.

If passed, the bill "would make state and local law enforcement officers' jobs nearly impossible, and would bring us further from, not closer to, the goal we all share of making our communities safer," said the letter sent Monday from the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs to Gov. Jan. Brewer, a Republican. "It would also cause hardship to countless Arizona residents -- U.S. citizens, legal immigrants, and undocumented immigrants alike -- who if this law is passed will live under a cloud of suspicion and fear."

Arizona passes tough illegal immigration law | Reuters

Opponents of the Arizona law, some of whom held a vigil outside Brewer's home on Monday to urge her to veto the measure, say it is unconstitutional and would discriminate against Latinos.

"You cannot tell if a person walking on a sidewalk is undocumented or not ... (so) this is a mandate for racial profiling," said Pablo Alvarado, director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network.

person who employs or contracts with an unauthorized alien to perform the

attorney shall not investigate complaints that are based solely on race,
color or national origin. A complaint that is submitted to a county attorney
shall be submitted to the county attorney in the county in which the alleged

alien with the federal government pursuant to 8 United States Code section

brought against the employer by the county attorney in the county where the
unauthorized alien employee is or was employed by the employer. The county
attorney shall not bring an action against any employer for any violation of
subsection A of this section that occurs before January 1, 2008. A second
violation of this section shall be based only on an unauthorized alien who is
or was employed by the employer after an action has been brought for a
violation of subsection A of this section or section 23-212.01, subsection A.
E. For any action in superior court under this section, the court
shall expedite the action, including assigning the hearing at the earliest
practicable date.

subsection, the court:
(a) Shall order the employer to terminate the employment of all
unauthorized aliens.

probationary period for the business location where the unauthorized alien

During the probationary period the employer shall file
quarterly reports in the form provided in section 23-722.01 with the county
attorney of each new employee who is hired by the employer at the business
location where the unauthorized alien performed work.
(c) Shall order the employer to file a signed sworn affidavit with the
county attorney within three business days after the order is issued. The
affidavit shall state that the employer has terminated the employment of all
unauthorized aliens in this state and that the employer will not
intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien in this state. The
court shall order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses subject to
this subdivision that are held by the employer if the employer fails to file
a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney within three business days
after the order is issued. All licenses that are suspended under this
subdivision shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn
affidavit with the county attorney. Notwithstanding any other law, on filing
of the affidavit the suspended licenses shall be reinstated immediately by
the appropriate agencies. For the purposes of this subdivision, the licenses
that are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that
- 7 -







are held by the employer specific to the business location where the
unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license
specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed
work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in
general, the licenses that are subject to suspension under this subdivision
are all licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary
place of business. On receipt of the court's order and notwithstanding any
other law, the appropriate agencies shall suspend the licenses according to
the court's order. The court shall send a copy of the court's order to the
attorney general and the attorney general shall maintain the copy pursuant to
subsection G of this section.
(d) May order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses
described in subdivision (c) of this paragraph that are held by the employer
for not to exceed ten business days. The court shall base its decision to
suspend under this subdivision on any evidence or information submitted to it
during the action for a violation of this subsection and shall consider the
following factors, if relevant:
(i) The number of unauthorized aliens employed by the employer.
(ii) Any prior misconduct by the employer.
(iii) The degree of harm resulting from the violation.
(iv) Whether the employer made good faith efforts to comply with any
applicable requirements.
(v) The duration of the violation.
(vi) The role of the directors, officers or principals of the employer
in the violation.

2. For a second violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this
subsection, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently
revoke all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business
location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does
not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized
alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's
business in general, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to
permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer at the
employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the order and
notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall immediately
revoke the licenses.
3. The violation shall be considered:
(a) A first violation by an employer at a business location if the
violation did not occur during a probationary period ordered by the court
under this subsection or section 23-212.01, subsection F for that employer's
business location.
(b) A second violation by an employer at a business location if the
violation occurred during a probationary period ordered by the court under

this subsection or section 23-212.01, subsection F for that employer's
business location.

attorney general's website.
H. On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized alien, the
court shall consider only the federal government's determination pursuant to
8 United States Code section 1373(c). The federal government's determination
creates a rebuttable presumption of the employee's lawful status. The court
may take judicial notice of the federal government's determination and may
request the federal government to provide automated or testimonial
verification pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c).
I. For the purposes of this section, proof of verifying the employment
authorization of an employee through the e-verify program creates a
rebuttable presumption that an employer did not knowingly employ an
unauthorized alien.
J. For the purposes of this section, an employer that establishes that
it has complied in good faith with the requirements of 8 United States Code
section 1324a(b) establishes an affirmative defense that the employer did not
knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. An employer is considered to have
complied with the requirements of 8 United States Code section 1324a(b),
notwithstanding an isolated, sporadic or accidental technical or procedural
failure to meet the requirements, if there is a good faith attempt to comply
with the requirements.
K. IT IS AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE TO A VIOLATION OF SUBSECTION A OF THIS
SECTION THAT THE EMPLOYER WAS ENTRAPPED. TO CLAIM ENTRAPMENT, THE EMPLOYER
MUST ADMIT BY THE EMPLOYER'S TESTIMONY OR OTHER EVIDENCE THE SUBSTANTIAL
ELEMENTS OF THE VIOLATION. AN EMPLOYER WHO ASSERTS AN ENTRAPMENT DEFENSE HAS
THE BURDEN OF PROVING THE FOLLOWING BY CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE:
1. THE IDEA OF COMMITTING THE VIOLATION STARTED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS RATHER THAN WITH THE EMPLOYER.
2. THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE
EMPLOYER TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION.
3. THE EMPLOYER WAS NOT PREDISPOSED TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION BEFORE THE
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE EMPLOYER TO
COMMIT THE VIOLATION.
L. AN EMPLOYER DOES NOT ESTABLISH ENTRAPMENT IF THE EMPLOYER WAS
PREDISPOSED TO VIOLATE SUBSECTION A OF THIS SECTION AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS MERELY PROVIDED THE EMPLOYER WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO
COMMIT THE VIOLATION. IT IS NOT ENTRAPMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR
THEIR AGENTS MERELY TO USE A RUSE OR TO CONCEAL THEIR IDENTITY. THE CONDUCT
OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THEIR AGENTS MAY BE CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING
IF AN EMPLOYER HAS PROVEN ENTRAPMENT.

government pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c). A person who
knowingly files a false and frivolous complaint under this subsection is
guilty of a class 3 misdemeanor.

determines that the complaint is not false and frivolous:
1. The attorney general or county attorney shall notify the United

enforcement agency of the unauthorized alien.

unauthorized alien employee is or was employed by the employer. The county
attorney shall not bring an action against any employer for any violation of
subsection A of this section that occurs before January 1, 2008. A second
violation of this section shall be based only on an unauthorized alien who is
or was employed by the employer after an action has been brought for a
violation of subsection A of this section or section 23-212, subsection A.
E. For any action in superior court under this section, the court
shall expedite the action, including assigning the hearing at the earliest
practicable date.

subsection, the court shall:
(a) Order the employer to terminate the employment of all unauthorized

employee who is hired by the employer at the business location where the
unauthorized alien performed work.

in subdivision (d) of this paragraph that are held by the employer for a
minimum of ten days. The court shall base its decision on the length of the

employer fails to file a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney
within three business days after the order is issued. All licenses that are
suspended under this subdivision for failing to file a signed sworn affidavit
shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with
the county attorney. For the purposes of this subdivision, the licenses that
are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that are
held by the employer specific to the business location where the unauthorized

received pursuant to subsection F of this section and shall maintain a
database of the employers and business locations that have a first violation
of subsection A of this section and make the court orders available on the
attorney general's website.
H. On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized alien, the
court shall consider only the federal government's determination pursuant to

[Modbert]

so lets see....the state passed a law to enforce federal imigration law that the feds won't enforce....

so to do that you need to investigate and question suspects......

hmmmmmmm.....lets see....who has been entering the country illegally via the arizona border.......


hmmmm....i am fucking stumped....

Again, I point to the Benjamin Franklin quote. If the founding fathers had any bodies left, they'd be rolling in their graves at such attitudes towards our liberties.

 

[Terry]

no where in that language did I read Mexican, Mexico, Brown Skin...it only states Illegals so that law applies to all.

 

[JenyEliza]

Does the law SPECIFY that it should ONLY be used against those of Hispanic descent?

I haven't seen the law, so I can't comment to that specific point.

However, I suspect very much this law applies to ANYONE who is here without papers--without regard to their nationality (not RACE, as you say). In other words, if they are here ILLEGALLY. AGAINST THE LAW. WITHOUT PERMISSION.

Please, someone, post the *actual language of the law* that singles out Hispanics.

If someone can or will do that, I will join you in your outrage.

Thank you.

So wait, you're speaking out of your ass and you haven't even seen the law?

Arizona ‘birther’ bill forces Obama to show birth certificate | Raw Story

On Monday, the Arizona state Senate voted in favor of a controversial immigration bill that would "make it a state crime for illegal immigrants to not have an alien registration document," the AP reports. "It also would require police to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they're in the country illegally."

That clause about questioning people without suspicion has raised the ire of civil libertarians, who say it will infringe on basic human rights. On Sunday, the head of the US's largest Catholic diocese compared the law to "Nazi" and "communist tactics" used to sniff out dissidents.

"I can't imagine Arizonans now reverting to German Nazi and Russian Communist techniques whereby people are required to turn one another in to the authorities on any suspicion of documentation," Cardinal Roger Mahoney wrote on his blog, describing the bill as "the country's most retrogressive, mean-spirited, and useless anti-immigrant law."

Why are you quoting Cardinal Mahoney to me? Because you know I am Catholic? Because I am Irish, as is Mahoney? Big shit. So what?

I don't happen to agree with my Church where it concerns the illegals. I never have.

I am quite FREE to disagree with my Church on this subject. I am free to follow my conscience and THE LAW OF MY COUNTRY, as well.

I just wish the rest of my Church had some regard for our laws, including the leadership that allowed child molestation to flourish unchecked here in the US, and now they do the same with illegal immigration.

They look the other way.

i would guess they would enforce the law of the land and identify suspects...question them....arrest the perps try them and find them guilty or innocent ..... i doubt they would simply ignor the law.....

btw you do know franklin opposed german immigartion citing they would not assimilate.....

What is perhaps most striking about Franklin's essay today is his sophisticated use of "social science" data to convince the British ministry to alter its colonial policies. Particularly jarring, however, is Franklin's plea that America be maintained as an entirely Anglo-Saxon society.
