Drudge has a link to this story from NBC Los Angeles, detailing LA’s decision to boycott Arizona. I made it as far as the fourth paragraph. Then I read this tripe:
“Los Angeles the second-largest city in this country, an immigrant city, an international city. It needs to have its voice heard,” said Councilman Ed Reyes. “As an American, I cannot go to Arizona today without a passport. If I come across an officer who’s having a bad day and feels that the picture on my ID is not me, I can be… deported, no questions asked. That is not American.“
That is a bald faced lie. What does the law do? Via The Weekly Standard:
Byron York points out in the Washington Examiner that the law requires police to check on immigration status only if the person has been stopped “for some legitimate reason” and the police “suspect that he or she might be in the U.S. illegally.”
The heart of the law is this provision: “For any lawful contact made by a law enforcement official or a law enforcement agency…where reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States, a reasonable attempt shall be made, when practicable, to determine the immigration status of the person…”
Kris Kobach, a University of Missouri Kansas City Law School professor who helped draft the law tells York that “lawful contact” means “the officer is already engaged in some detention of an individual because he’s violated some other law. … The most likely context where this law would come into play is a traffic stop.”
Councilman Reyes is lying. He doesn’t have to carry a passport. That’s hyperbole. If an officer’s having a the worst day in the history of worst days, he cannot deport Councilman Reyes because his hair is different than his driver’s license photo. That’s asinine.
Unless Councilman Reyes is an ignorant incompetent, he know this. In that case, he’s a liar.
Where was the protesting from the mexican community, after 911 when the middle-easterners were being profiled and rounded up. And still today they are automatically profiled as terrorist, but yet does the voice of the mexican community speak out for them of course not. Ask yourself why the outrage, if your here legally you have no worries except for friends or family members that are not here legally.

Me'thinks they doth protest too loudly… Or so the line goes. Hamlet was making the statement about his mother's spoken sentiments concerning his uncle whom she had married because his uncle had killed his father. This, his uncle took the throne and his mother the Queen.
Why was his mother protesting too loudly, because she had a personal interest in it. Obviously Mr. Reyes has a personal interest in this. Maybe those caught in Arizona as illegals should get a Rodney King type of welcome… We know how their law enforcement works in CA. It has been the scene of some of the worst riots in US history. Several were based upon police citizen interaction.
The basic tenant in civli society is, don't run your mouth unless your own laundry is clean.

As a L.A. County business owner and tax payer for over 32 years, finally someone has stepped up with the balls to confront those responsible for costing our schools,hospitals,etc. millions. I will now start buying my goods from Ariz. As for those who voted to boycott Arizona, it will make them easier to identify come election time.

funny how if u cross the boarder of iran u get thrown into jail and put on trial if u dont think so read about those college students who are still in jail for doing so, they didnt just put them onto a bus and send them back to USA, no other country just puts u back onto a bus and ships u back, just about every country including mexico throws u in jail for crossing the boarder without a passport. ITS a fact MR REYES
