Law on illegal immigrants starts Arizona protest march
Hawaii Telegraph
Friday 30th July, 2010
Police in riot gear stared down protesters in a tense stand-off in Pheonix, Arizona on Thursday.
Only hours after a controversial immigration law went into effect, demonstrators massed on the streets to criticise the law, which they have suggested will create a racial profiling culture amongst local police.
While protesters railed against the local sheriff, who is known locally as a hunter of illegal immigrants, officials in the state, which borders Mexico, have argued the perimeter needs to be secured to avoid illegal immigrants overwhelming the state.
Police and volunteers have now been put on the streets to ensure there are no more disturbances like the one on Thursday, which saw protesters waving Mexican and American flags and banners while chanting protest songs.
By the time the protesters had massed in front of the office of sheriff Joe Arpaio, police in riot gear were there to meet them.
Many of the protesters were from Hispanic and Latin American groups.  Email this story to a friend

Arizona appeals block on immigration law
29 July`10 — Arizona officials asked a federal court to lift a judge’s ruling that blocks full enforcement of the state’s immigration enforcement law, as dozens of the law’s opponents were arrested across the city.
]
Republican Gov. Jan Brewer called on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to set aside a lower court’s ruling that put key parts of the law on hold until the full legal dispute is aired. Among them: a requirement for police to check suspects' immigration status during routine stops if there’s a reasonable suspicion they are in the U.S. illegally.
Some parts of the law took effect Thursday as scheduled. Brewer said status checks and other sections of the law that U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton suspended were “critical to address serious criminal, environmental and economic problems Arizona has been suffering as a consequence of illegal immigration."
The governor’s action came as hundreds of demonstrators, most of them pressing for the law to be struck down permanently, blocked parts of downtown. Traffic and light-rail service near City Hall were stalled for nearly an hour, said a Phoenix police spokesman, Lt. Tommy Thompson.
Several hundred protesters converged on the local jail where at least six people were arrested after chaining themselves to the building. Sharon Lungo, who traveled to Phoenix from Oakland to protest the law, known as S.B. 1070, said Bolton’s temporary suspension does not mean Hispanics in Arizona are safe.

Micro chipAnonymous

Well since we are in the technological age, we can start to place micro chips on each born baby. So this way they do not have to carry an ID card with them.
I believe we have come to a period in our history, that man has lost his personal freedom.
If every thing that a person does, he must identify himself as being verified on his personal status of whom he really is, surely society has become a big mess.
So as I have stated: the only logical thing to do is to place a micro chip on each newborn..So this way we can live peacefully in this present dictatorial,industrial, Nazi, fascist era that has been imposed upon civilized society. Where man’s basic freedoms have been blown away with the wind called progress. Which creates many jobs in the security sector. Where people spy upon each other, and creating a sick society of peeping toms. imposing upon man’s personal freedom.
