Repeal Arizona SB 1070
The Issue
It is shameful to draw Holocaust analogies within the framework of discussing Arizona SB 1070. However, the rationale expressed by those who compare the legalization of hate and Antisemitism that prevailed prior to the inception of concentration camps is, in my opinion, justified.
The Anti Defamation League http://www.adl.org/civil_rights/ agrees:
"ADL is honored to participate in this important telephonic press conference today and to stand with our friends in the Hispanic and civil rights communities year-round to fight bigotry, prejudice and discrimination."
By visiting www.azleg.gov a reading of the final text will reveal:
Section 2, E allows law enforcement officers to arrest you without a warrant, because the officer determines “probable cause”, not a court.
Section 4, E allows any peace officer to stop and detain anyone for “reasonable suspicion”.
Sections 5 & 6, allows officers legal access to your private property, home or business.
All the enforcement muscle is flexed on our streets, on our land and even in our homes as long as the authorities have 'Reasonable Suspicion'. We lose Due Process. Probable Cause and legitimize racial profiling, is this a good trade for so-called border security??
