Congressman urges feds to fight Arizona law

PHOENIX – An Arizona congressman urged the Obama administration on Sunday
not to cooperate when illegal immigrants are picked up by local police if
a tough new state immigration law survives legal challenges.

U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, a Democrat, and civil rights activists spoke to
thousands of people gathered at the state Capitol and called on President
Barack Obama to fight the law, promising to march in the streets and
invite arrest by refusing to comply.

Obama has called the new law “misguided” and instructed the Justice
Department to examine it to see if it’s legal. It requires police to
question people about their immigration status – including asking for
identification – if they suspect someone is in the country illegally.

Finally, somebody with common sense and decency.

Thank you, Rep. Grijalva.
