The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), one of the largest Hispanic organizations in the US, will dedicate its annual conference this weekend in San Antonio, Texas, to the analysis of the “anti-immigrant” Arizona law, SB 1070. The conference is expected to be attended by more than 20,000 people and two of the speakers will be Texas Governor Rick Perry who is seeking reelection as a Republican candidate and his Democrat opponent, Bill White. Other attendees will be US Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis and Secretary of Housing Shaun Donovan, Senator Robert Menendez [New Jersey] and Mayor Phil Gordon of Phoenix, Arizona, a strong opponent of SB 1070.

Seventh law suit against anti-immigration law filed
The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) filed a suit against the “anti-immigrant” law SB 1070 of Arizona, the seventh one filed against the legislation. In the suit filed Friday, LULAC argues that the material used by the government of Arizona to train police how to apply the law is drafted in vague terms and lends itself to any interpretation. As an example, LULAC cites that police are instructed not to base immigration inquiries on ethnic characteristics, but accepts as one criterion that a suspect is not proficient in English. On the other hand, those in favor of the law say they have raised some $500,000 in its defense.
