“A coalition of leading rights organizations will hold a national media call to announce and discuss the filing of its legal challenge to Arizona's unconstitutional racial profiling law. The coalition includes the American Civil Liberties Union; MALDEF; National Immigration Law Center (NILC); the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP); the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) and Asian Pacific American Legal Center (APALC), a member of the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice.” In my opinion the police have too much power in our country to enforce laws that unfairly target minorities and the poor. Giving them a license to “demand your papers” is not American. This is just a backlash against the influx of immigration that has been vilified by the right. We need to fight poverty, the real world enemy, not make people into separate racial categories. No matter how angry people who have already immigrated to America get, someone who needs to feed themselves or their family will listen to their poverty and hope – not your anger. ❤ http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10137/1058777-84.stm http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jXrin5h7Hn8OoVwIwyXerEzwHacA added by: Denica_Cassandra
