Email Gov. Brewer, let's stop this AZ bill Bull Shit!


Most of us have already heard about the fucked-up immigration bill (SB 1070) that was passed by Governor Brewer of Arizona just the other day. Let’s not let history repeat itself. Let’s not create a new apartheid. Let’s not create a new civil war. Let’s quit being so fucking racist (amongst other things). Is it possible? I mean seriously.


Here are two things you can do.


1) email Gov. Brewer at: azgov@az.gov


(or CALL (602) 542-4331)


Here is what you can write (say):


We are all Arizona. SB 1070 is a disaster for the rights of all our communities. SB 1070 will intensify racial discrimination, criminalization of immigrants - or anyone who does not pass as white or a U.S. citizen

Your law cannot break our spirit of community; your law will not stand. Racial profiling and racial discrimination are illegal and SB 1070 should be stopped.


(I’m going to add a P.S. that says: I was planning a trip to Arizona for this winter, but now I have canceled those plans and will be going elsewhere. I am not alone in this decision.)


Do it NOW. I know many times we say we will get to it and then we don’t. But it’s an easy thing to do. It takes 2 minutes at the max. So DO it, you’ll feel better about yourself. You will have done your good deed for the day.


2) Spread the word. Tell your friends and family to email too. Let’s max out the governors box and stop this bullshit. Really, we should know better by now.

  1. Is the US CODE UNCONSTITUTIONAL?


    US CODE TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part VIII > § 1325

    § 1325. Improper entry by alien

    TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part VIII > § 1324a

    § 1324a. Unlawful employment of aliens

    (a) Making employment of unauthorized aliens unlawful


    U.S. Code TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part IX > § 1361

    § 1361. Burden of proof upon alien



    We should treat immigrants like Mexico does:

    At present, Article 67 of Mexico's Population Law says, "Authorities, whether federal, state or municipal ... are required to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country, before attending to any issues."

    That would simplify things.

    We do NOT need immigration reform. We need immigration ENFORCEMENT!

    Simple question:

    What happens if someone jumps the fence and wanders around a gated community without an ID? I am sure a resident of the community calls the cops saying someone that doesn't look like they belong here is roaming the streets. The cops arrive. They would ask the wanderer a few questions. And since the wanderer does not have a valid reason for being inside the gated community, the cops would escort them out, wouldn't they? Isn't a country, like the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, a "gated community", too?

    WAKE UP AMERICA AND SMELL THE HYPOCRISY

    The REAL PROBLEM is that people have broken the law and need to be apprehended. All the other issues like racial profiling are SMOKE SCREENS.
