A police officer in Tucson, Arizona, filed a lawsuit against the state's governor Thursday over a new immigration law.
Officer Martin H. Escobar says in the lawsuit that there are no "race-neutral criteria or basis to suspect or identify who is lawfully in the United States."
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
so what office is he going to run for?
Or is he just trying to get some street cred with the Latino “girls”?
The law is not racist- the police can ask ANYONE for their papers
There is no race-nuetral basis????
Illegal Mexicans are...um... MEXICANS!
you would not look for scandinavians or blacks or chinese when you have an ILLEGAL MEXICAN problem
Please. Nothing but race is a clue that it's an illegal? And this guy is a cop?
And Guatamalens, and Colombians, and Irish, and Canadians....
"The City of Tucson is geographically located approximately 60 miles south of the international border between the United States of America and Mexico."
Lemme guess.
His lawyer is working pro-bono,
And specifically sought a client to represent,
Because there is no way on this earth that this cop can afford to sue.
Such a suit would cost hundreds of thousand of dollars if not millions in attormey’s fees.
There is a very simple race-neutral criteria to identify who is who, and that is in the law itself: any government-issued ID is good enough for the purposes of this law. And with regard to the suspicion, isn't he required to identify people who he makes contact with? Otherwise he might be talking to a known serial killer on the lam and fail to apprehend him.
“The law allows police to ask anyone for proof of legal U.S. residency.”
Wrong.
Read the PDF.
Plaintiff is a naturalized citizen.
Meaning he may be a dual citizen of The US and Mexico.
Mexico is a dual citizenship nation.
I think the officer has NO standing in the court.No more standing the the people who want to see Obams’s birth certificate.
He’s probably been in LaRaza too long!
They still think its theirs!
Well that explains it.
The officer apparently lives in Mexico and I hear they are real unhappy about this law down there.
I can think of two neutral criteria right off the bat that should alert police to seek further information on their place of birth and citizenship status:
They can't speak English... they could be any race and be from any non English speaking country.
They don't have any identification. Again this could be someone from any race or country.
I don't see what the problem is.
Victor Davis Hansen was right - “hyphenated Americans have hyphenated loyalties”.
Fire his ass.
> Victor Davis Hansen was right - “hyphenated Americans have hyphenated loyalties”.
If you consider yourself a hyphenated American then you are not an American, you are an invader.
