Arizona immigration law sparks controversy The western US state of Arizona has enacted the toughest immigration law in the country aimed at cracking down on hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants. Barack Obama, the US president, has called the law "misguided" and expressed concern over possible civil rights implications. Activists say the new legislation legalises racial profiling and discrimination, and right groups have vowed to take their case to the nation's highest courts. The new legislation is likely to reignite a national debate on the reform of the US federal immigration system, as Al Jazeera's Monica Villamizar explains. (Apr 24, 2010)

Immigration Check Point Unless you've been living under a rock (or have been consumed by American Idol), you know about the controversy surrounding the recent Arizona immigration law. I like playing the game of "flip the script," and wondering "what if" things were to play out differently? I think we turn out as better people, and our country is strengthened, when we stop to exam an issue from many perspectives. Enjoy.

Arizona Sing-A-Long: Read Immigration Law! Two weeks ago, Governor Jan Brewer took President Obama to task for making Arizonas unsecured borders and illegal immigration crisis a laughing matter. However, since then, Washingtons comedy of errors has grown far worse, with top cabinet officials admitting that they havent even read Arizonas new immigration law. Broken borders are not a laughing matter, but the failure by Obamas trusted officials to read Arizonas law before commenting and condemning it is laughable. Read the law for yourself at: .

Arizona Immigration Battle Controversial new law requires police to demand proof of citizenship from anyone the officer has reason to suspect might be in the country illegally. Bill Whitaker reports.

Arizona immigration law opposed Arizona has been heavily criticised for adopting legislation that allows police to stop suspected illegal immigrants and ask them for proof of citizenship. A group of religious leaders from the state, opposing the law, have travelled to Washington to lobby for a federal law on illegal immigration to overturn the controversial Arizona legislation. However, an opinion poll suggests that many Americans support the state's strict new measures. Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan reports.

Florida drafts 'Arizona-style' immigration bill Politicians in the US state of Florida are the latest to craft a bill modelled on a controversial law in Arizona, according to local media reports. The law, signed in April, gives broad powers to police to question people they suspect of being in the country illegally. Critics say it encourages racial profiling. Now politicians in at least six states have introduced bills similar to Arizona's. But there may be economic consequences. Los Angeles and one town in Indiana have passed bans on doing business with Arizona companies. And at least five challenges have been filed against the Arizona law - mainly on civil rights grounds The Obama adminstration has also signalled it will take legal action soon. Al Jazeera's Nick Spicer reports.

BNP: The True Face Of Immigration South Wales BNP record footage to back up Nick Griffins statement about London

The "immigration question" at the UIC mayoral candidate forum Get more information: The question (nearly verbatim) by Maria de los Angeles Torres, UIC professor and director of Latin American and Latino studies: At this time last year, one of our top students, Rigo Padilla, was facing deportation. He was given a temporary stay until this week. Like many of the 65000 students who graduate from US high schools without documents, Rigo was brought to the United States as a young child. While everyone admits the immigration system is broken, neither Congress or the White House have acted to reform it. Indeed, the opposite has happened in the last few years. More people have been deported under this administration than any other time in the history of the United States. Municipal governments have had to step in. Our own city government supports the plea to stop the deportation of students, bipartisan (or by partisan?) request I may add. There's a standing order for the police not to work as immigration agents. This is good policing practice. But more is needed. If you become mayor, what would you do to help protect undocumented residents of the City of Chicago? The first question goes to congressman Danny Davis. Second is Wilfredo de Jesus. Third to answer is Miguel del Valle. Fourth is Ryan Graves. The last person to respond in this video is John Hu. Me: I could hear some audience members quietly object to the term "illegal aliens," used by Ryan Graves. I heard them mutter, "undocumented!" Fredrick K. White explained ...

Stanhope on immigration Doug Stanhope talking about immigration...

Radical Immigration Reform Rally, ATL Ga There was an immigration protest in Downtown Atlanta which revealed some shocking discoveries. The speakers spoke almost entirely in Spanish, but a few speakers spoke in English and called for "black, brown, and progressive whites" to stand together and fight the "culture that opposes all things public" A Democrat GA State Representative shamelessly called on the crowd (by definition filled with illegal immigrants), to register and vote! He did not qualify this statement to only include citizens, but clearly was calling for voter fraud. Disclaimer: The text incorrectly states that there was not prayer at this rally. We have since learned that there was prayer shortly before we arrived. text: Conservatives could lampoon an immigration reform rally the way left-wing pundits, commentators, entertainers, and politicians ridicule the tea party movement. Yes, this rally was comprised of nearly all one color participants, or monochromatic as they like to say of us. There were plenty of fat people, and upside down and misspelled signs. The speakers were angry, and the signs were more extreme than Tea Party signs, pathetically so. According to their signs, Arizona and other states and counties have become equal to Apartheid, *** Germany, Genocide, and Jim Crow. Really!?! Is this even remotely attached to reality? So, this protest could be laughed off in the sophomoric, immature way the Libs mock the Tea Parties. But there was a much more shocking aspect to this protest: the open ...
