Protests of Arizona governor planned in Boston

BOSTON — Immigrant advocates are rallying fellow activists to protest Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer during her scheduled visit this weekend for the National Governors Association meeting in Boston.

The Washington, D.C.-based ANSWER Coalition and others are putting out pamphlets, sending e-mails and making preparations to bring in protesters by bus to express their opposition to Arizona's controversial immigration law, recently signed by Brewer.

The law, scheduled to take effect July 29, requires police to question people about their immigration status while enforcing other laws if there's reason to suspect someone is in the country illegally.

But the law is facing a challenge by the U.S. Justice Department, which filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Phoenix on Tuesday over the constitutionality of the law. The lawsuit argues that Arizona's new measure requiring state and local police to question and possibly arrest illegal immigrants during the enforcement of other laws usurps federal authority.

Sarah Sloan, a national organizer with the ANSWER Coalition, said protesters across the East want to voice their opposition to Brewer's decision to sign the bill and want "to send a clear message" to other governors not to support similar laws.

"The law may become a model for other states," Sloan said. "We don't want to see any further action that would legalize racial profiling anywhere else."

A rally is planned Saturday at Boston's Copley Square, followed by a march to the nearby Sheraton Hotel, where the 102nd annual governors meeting is planned. The protest is one of many expected this weekend for the meeting.

For example, law enforcement officers are expected to protest Gov. Deval Patrick's policy to use civilian flaggers instead of police details at state highway work sites.

It’s only mASSholes being mASSholes - the majority are brain-dead, anti-Semitic moon-bats. You just have to feel sorry for the few residents that aren’t Obam-bots.

Hey,as a life-long Gay Stater I would have agreed with you until earlier this year.But I think you recall what happened here last January.So with that in mind I'd encourage you not to paint with such a broad brush when describing us.

When I think that such groups are part of any "existing" boycott of AZ, I think "Thank God".

Who wants to bump into such scum at the Grand Canyon anyways? Too tempting to push them in and that's terrible for the environment.

The ANSWER freaks are similar to the losers employed by Euro Green parties to protest at selected events. The $ these creatures get for walking around, holding signs and shouting epithets are the closest thing to a paycheck they’ll ever see.

Exactly. The canyon probably has its share of ticks. Why infest it further with maggots and fleas?

My 4th cousin and his wife live in Massachusetts. They were born there and lived in Massachusetts their entire lives.

So do all of his adult sons from his first marriage.

The whole lot of them are staunch conservatives, and they all despise Obama.

Like you said, not everyone in Massachusetts is a moonbat.

Well that's really taking it to the governor - apparently, the liberals' grasp of geography is even worse than we thought.

????? I don’t get you. There was no cause to be mean. They aren’t old shoes. And why would anybody send their money to a dump? Friggin weirdo. I feel sorry for your family that has to deal with a bitter, hostile person who likes to start fights just for the heck of it. Have a nice day.

Not surprised. Anti-semitism was part of socialism from the very beginning.
