Hispanic Groups Revive Push for All-Star Game Boycott
Fox News ^ | July 02, 2011 | Fox News

With Major League Baseball's All-Star Game less than two weeks away, Hispanic groups outraged over Arizona's attempt to crack down on illegal immigrants are pressing players and fans to sit this one out.

Even though the state's controversial immigration law has been put on hold by the federal courts, opponents say a boycott is still a good idea.

"We just encourage everyone who opposes racism and discrimination, think about children separated from families, to come out and stand in solidarity with all the children," boycott organizer Anayanse Garza told MyFox Phoenix.

Arizona's crackdown, which would allow police officers to check the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally, drew national attention when it was first signed into law in April 2010. Critics said it would lead to unconstitutional racial profiling while supporters argued the state is helping federal authorities who aren't doing their job in enforcing immigration law at the border.

Applying this logic (and I use the term loosely), no parent should ever be sent to jail, no matter what the crime, because prison will result in separation of parent and child.

Imagine how our military would be affected if we instituted a policy that parents cannot be separated from their kids.

Hispanics don't want American law getting in their way....they could not get away with such lawlessness in Mexico or Spain!

Round 'em up and lock 'em up if they don't want to honor our laws.

It's always about the kids, isn't it?

Racist discrimination against illegals. My eyes are welling up with tears. Let's cry all together now.

There is no logic with these Home Depot entrance harassers...

The only logic to understand is how these criminals boo the American team on their own soil.

Who cares what they want or don’t want. They should go home where they really have something to complain about.

The Hispanic trash coming over the border in waves have absolutly no idea how their presence here is destroying ‘’The Golden Goose’’. These idiots just think that the Golden Goose , “El Norte’’ is a magic place where jobs and money never run out. I shudder to think what America is going to look like in twenty years.

So the destruction of the American public schools by those who can’t even speak English is “about the kids?” I have a few hundred million nativists who might not take kindly to that remark.

Yes indeed. They think because they can build buildings that they are entitled to all that goes on inside the completed structures forever more.
