Arizona’s SB 1070 law: An affront to US Migrant Rights
Source: Chicago May Day Protests Flickr
SB 1070 enables police officers to lawfully stop, detain or arrest a person whom they have “reasonable suspicion” to be unauthorized, in order to determine the person’s immigration status “when practicable”. It also gives citizens’ the power to sue police officers and departments if they believe that they haven’t investigated a “suspect” undocumented worker thoroughly enough. This law is a charter for racial discrimination.
This law has been met with large protests across the USA and Mexico since May 1st. High profile artists and bands such as Kanye West, Shakira and Rage against the Machine have initiated The Sound Strike, a musician’s boycott of performing in Arizona. President Obama now has the prospect of having to challenge a state law whilst promising to reform immigration law at a federal level.
