If you've paid any attention to political news lately, you have probably heard about the new law in Arizona that allows authorities to stop and search people under the belief that they may be illegal immigrants. In short, Latinos (since these are the immigrants people care about in the state) must now carry identification at all times, in some cases even birth certificates.
It's a controversial law that's prompted serious outcry on both sides of the issue, but especially from activists who've deemed it an infringement on civil rights. The law has also been discussed in the basketball blogosphere, by both me and Bethlehem Shoals in a FreeDarko in terms of why noted activist Steve Nash had not been asked to comment on the issue, and by Shoals on several other occasions for AOL FanHouse.

The NBA, MBL and NFL love Obama. The sheep keep watching.
I guess they’re worried they’re going to have to replace their maids and lawn care people.
There is no such law you ignorant pawns!!!
What does it do, exactly?
Apparently, these slack-jawed, tattooed muscleheads don’t know that the Arizona law essentially copies the same law in the US Code.
Geesh.
It mirrors the federal law that they choose not to enforce. It is NOTHING new that hasn't been on the books for years.
It's quite simple to find the pdf of the law via google, etc.
Free plastic donkeys and frozen tacos on a stick, at the up coming Los Losers vs LA’s illegal alien Hedge Clippers game.
“What does it do, exactly?”
If it doesn’t allow authorities to stop and search people under the belief that they may be illegal immigrants, I’m a little dissapointed.
Steve Nash, who is one of the greatest players who ever lived, is nevertheless a political ditz. He is a Canadian and a new-ager, vegetarian-type, a pacifist and generally anti-American. He is the principal source of this outrage.
Consider the source.
Meanwhile, I will continue to boycott los Suns, as I have not attended one of their games in around 20 years.
The law does not allow a police officer to simply pull someone over because they suspect they might be an illegal immigrant. Police officers can only ask if someone is a US citizen if that person was apprehended during a crime or running stop signs, running red lights, or driving drunk and such.
What an idiot.
If you're going to protest something, at least make sure you understand the thing you are supposedly protesting.
And don't whine if you get pushback from your ticket holders.
The NBA? Are they still around?
Will they be allowing UNDOCUMENTED FANS in to the game?
Or will they demand to see thier papers/tickets before entry?
HYPOCRITES..........
Is that 60% nationally? I believe I heard 70% in AZ.
Gosh, professional athletes. Is there anything they don’t know?
I am no longer a Suns fan; my Suns gear goes in tomorrow’s trash, I’m boycotting their sponsors and I’ve told them so. Yes, a drop in the bucket.
Correct, and as I said on another thread, the fact that they haven't even bothered to read the law which resulted in their total ignorance of the issue suggests they need to put an "ER" on the end of their "LOS".
