*“Anti-immigrant, anti-American”*
State Senator Jose Peralta supports Congressman Raul Grijalva’s opposition
to Arizona State legislature bill SB1070 Peralta said “I support Arizona
Congressman Raul Grijalva’s objection to SB1070. As a Dominican American
who represents one of the most diverse communities in this country, I find
Arizona’s SB1070 anti-immigrant, anti-American and unconstitutional. This
bill does not address comprehensive immigration reform; instead it will
restrict civil rights and further marginalize immigrant communities. We
cannot allow any governing body in this country to legalize profiling based
on race, gender or religion.”
SB 1070, will require police to stop and question any individual suspected
of being an illegal immigrant. Anyone questioned by the police will be
required to provide documentation verifying U.S. citizenship.
