Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) have called on the Department of Homeland Security to sever its ties with Arizona police in response to the state's new immigration enforcement law.
Calling Arizona's recently-enacted law requiring police to question and verify the citizenship of anyone they reasonably suspect to be an illegal immigrant "appaling," three leaders of the Hispanic Caucus wrote Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to demand the termination of its immigration-enforcement partnerships with law enforcement entities in the state.
“The federal government should not be an accessory to the unconstitutional actions of the Arizona state government,†Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.) said in a statement. “By continuing to work with Arizona police departments operating under SB 1070, the Department is implicitly condoning the shameful tactics authorized by the new law."
Roybal-Allard was joined in signing the letter by CHC Chairwoman Nydia Velazquez (D-N.Y.) and Immigration Task Force Chairman Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.).
"While we applaud your recent statement opposing the new law, we ask that the Department of Homeland Security immediately suspend its 287(g) and Secure Communities programs in Arizona," the letter states.
The 287(g) and Secure Communities programs are database-sharing agreements that give local law enforcement agencies instant access to federal immigration databases. According to information provided by Roybal-Allard's office, DHS currently has a total of 13 such agreements with jurisdictions throughout Arizona.

I always thought the race wars would be black and white, if they happened. Now I think they will be brown and white.

I am trying very hard not to post what I would love to write. :censored: I keep wishing all these people who find us so bigoted would stay the **** out of our state and tend to their own business. I also hope the backlash in November sweeps away all of the :spork: Democrats whining about the rights of illegal invaders of American soil. We already know how much the security of our nation means to them. :libssuck:

Let me see if I understand this, I am a blond you know.
People who are breaking our laws in a foreign country are lobbing our Representatives and giving money to their war chest to force the Federal government to ignore and change our laws for the benefit of foreigners.
Then I read today that the Miranda rights are going to be turned upside down.
Increadable, Where is America?? We may now need to prove we are not guilty instead of being innocent until being proved guilty.
