NY Rep. McMahon Opposes Arizona Immigration Law
McMahon is not alone in his opposition. President Obama called the immigration bill irresponsible and misguided, the president added his administration is examining whether it would violate civil rights.
Mexican President Calderon blasted the newly enacted law, calling it discriminatory and warned trade and political ties with Arizona will be seriously affected. Calderon added, "Nobody can sit around with their arms crossed in the face of decisions that so clearly affect our countrymen."
Al Sharpton plans on travelling to Arizona with a group of protestors to commit acts of civil disobedience and refuse to show identification to any law enforcement officer.

What remains clear is that the federal government under past Republican and Democratic administrations has consistently failed the nation regarding immigration policy.
It is also clear that Arizona is under siege by illegal aliens. It is estimated that 460,000 illegal immigrants have settled in Arizona.
Murder and kidnapping is a glaring example of a violation of human rights and this has occurred far too often in Arizona.
The murder of Arizona rancher Robert Krentz who was recently gunned down by an illegal alien while tending his family's ranch highlights the perils of doing nothing about illegal immigration.
Something must be done to protect American citizens.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer courageously signed SB 1070 into law on Friday, April 23. The law takes effect by late summer.
Congressman McMahon may find himself in prominent company opposing Arizona's immigration law, but he is clearly not in sync with a majority of Arizona state residents or the rest of the nation.
A Rasmussen poll indicates that 70% of Arizona voters favor the measure cracking down on illegal immigration. Additionally, a Rasmussen survey finds that 60% of voters nationwide favor such a law.

all the crazies oppose it
I applaud the state of Arizona in this instance as the state has every right to protect its people and property. Good coverage, Tony.
America must control her own borders! Fire any politicians who say otherwise!
There appears to be two deeply divided positions on the Arizona law. One side are folks like Sharpton and on the other, the people of Arizona.
Nice job Tony.
Excellent work, thanks Tony... :o)
This is turning out to be a story of historic proportions. I am not for profiling of any kind, but I sure do have to have my proper paperwork in order at any given time...even as a US citizen! If I was questioned by authorities for ANY reason and did not have ID...I would be detained until I could provide the appropriate identification!
I have mixed feelings about this law. I DO think the federal govt. is not doing it's job and Arizona just got desperate. I also don't think there's anything wrong with profiling. For God's sake, it's MEXICO we're talking about here. We're not looking for Cambodians! But I do see the prospect for abuse. It was MY understanding, however, that a person couldn't be stopped just on suspicion of being illegal, they'd have had to do something to draw a cop's attention, like break a traffic law or something.
You're right Jan & that's all the law requires..in addition to lawful contact sans racial profiling. The Arizona law is extremely more lenient than Mexico's or any other nation's immigration procedures. There is a link to SB 1070 in the article.
