On the ground here in Tucson, it gets even worse. Horne was in Tucson a few days ago, and complained that a bunch of Tucson High students walked out of a meeting with the Deputy Superintendent. He, said he couldn't believe how rude they were, and that it must have been their teachers and not their families who taught them to be so impolite. Then he said that if he's elected Attorney General in November, he'll help the Pima County Attorney's office enforce the new law.

Gee, can't imagine why those students would be upset. Don't they realize he's just trying to protect them?

According to this article, the "'breathing while Latino' law... in essence requires police to identify and jail undocumented immigrants." Actually, it's the "breathing while illegal alien" law.

Give me a break. Why do they need Mexican/American culture classes anyway? I am Polish/American and I never had classes. Why should all the taxpayers pay for such special treatment? Are we going to have special classes for every individual to teach them about their culture and history? What is so special about them that they need that? What about the parents? Aren't they capable of teaching their own children all about their own culture? My god, the more I hear about this law the more I can't figure out what the hell took so long. If they want to come here they should adapt to OUR customs, not us to theirs. It has gone too far. I can't buy something in the store without instructions in both English and Spanish. Everything is like that, what do they think they are too good to learn our language? My family learned English and so did most of the immigrants who have come into this country.

Damned, I hope this law goes national. When I vote I will vote for whomever supports it, the hell with voting Democratic like I always have.

I liked the ethnic studies class I took in college. It went very well with my Anthropology classes which I have a degree in with a minor in German. My anthropology degree is very useful in my work doing business in International Organic food marketing. Boycott Arizona.

On April 26, Truthout published a piece by Greg Palast (Behind the Arizona Immigration Law: GOP Game to Swipe the November Election) wherein Palast read the history of the Arizona immigration law and the history of Arizona's Governor Jan Brewer to mean that the law was a GOP attempt to steal the November election by intimidating Latinos, even citizens, to discourage their participation in the election. The theme of this article is entirely consistent with that. with any luck, Latino citizens will not be intimidated, but offended and will "cowboy up" and register to vote in record numbers, against the Repugs. This sort of stuff is just another form of purging the voter lists and posting "observers" at the polls to challenge voters of color. The theme of Repugs trying to discourage or prevent electoral participation by black and brown-skinned people is an old one. Racism is a central tenet of the Repugs' beliefs and strategy. They just don't dare say so. It might get them some gains in November, but what will they reap 15 years down the line when the young Latino in the picture is old enough to vote?

I graduated High School in 1972. While in elementary school we were required to take Spanish in 7th and 8th grade. We were also required to take 1 year of a foreign language in High School - most took Spanish as that was a continuation of what they had in 7th and 8th grade.

While in the Military I was stationed in Germany - and I learned to speak at least conversational German while there.

Thirty-Eight years later I can speak more Spanish and German than many illegal immigrants that have been here 15 years. If you are going to move to a foreign country learn the language of that country instead of asking the whole country to learn your language.

This is probably the tenth Truthout article in the past two weeks denigrating Arizona for passing a law to help control ILLEGAL immigration and not a single article supporting the law when polls show that 2/3 of Americans support the law and want similar laws in their states.

I thought Truthout was supposed to provide balanced insight and commentary on American politics (both sides of the story), not merely parrot the far left agenda to counterbalance Rush Limbaugh. I guess I am sorely mistaken.

I have been disappointed and disgusted by the repeated accusations of racism in the Arizona law and the general absence of logical thought.
I for one will not donate another penny to Truthout until there is a little more journalistic fairness.

What people don't seem to understand is that the mainstream teaching of history is already biased towards a white, anglo-saxon viewpoint. People complain about "ethnic studies," but what they fail to see is that traditional teachings of history ARE ethnic studies. It's a white-based worldview that emphasizes the Pilgrims landing on Plymouth Rock, and it is simply not as relevant to Mexican-Americans or African-Americans for that matter.

Like it or not Mexican-Americans have a different history than white Americans, and it is not fair to impose your biases on them. Take your blinders off and face up to the fact that race and history are inextricably linked, to deny this basic reality is to be naive or dishonest or both.

Quite a spin on this one with phrases like:
--- "breathing while Latino law",
There is such a thing as being a Russian "illegal", an Ethiopian "illegal", Kurdish "illegal", etc...

---"mean-spirited new immigration law wasn't about high-minded principle or the need to maintain public order"...
What about the fact the State is financially busted yet continues to pay for services for non-tax payers?

---"The land that is now Arizona once belonged to Mexico"
What about the Apaches and the Comanches?

This article is a grammatically poor attempt to stir up more violence and racial tension. I'm sure the author will love it when the National Guard is on every corner. He probably has stock in companies who produce the Full Body Scanners and riot gear and dreams of laughing all the way to the bank from his metro-sexual penthouse flat in Uptown New York.

This article really gets over how frightened some American-European are at the increasing visibility of non-white ethnic groups ascendancy in America. The very people who clannishly uphold their Christianity and its focus on Jesus Christ's Crucifiction so that ALL might be save really perceive this as relevant only to those whose skin color symbolizes the entitle ones. Among the many sad factors is that these events which are basic to beginnings of Christianity did not take place in Europe; that was a secondary stop! I fear the potential of the legalizing of reactions against one ethnic group of color does not portend well for our future.

The houseboy is back to tell the slaves what to think. He confuses all by talking about "latinos" in a state where perhaps a dozen people speak latin, all of them white. Then the house ****** tells us slaves the man don't like us protesting all these new folks taking our jobs. Shut up, the man from the big house in DC says so.

say- who pays these 'illegals' what kind of lousy wages, under what miserable conditions,
and who makes the big big bucks...part of the same capitolism game that da good ole banksters play
USA USA woo woo
and how many of us collect social security...that must be a socialist plot

This is the most unprofessional reporting I've ever read. Never have I seen such a distortion of the facts. Plain and simple, this is propaganda. Not only does the article not present the facts in a factual context, but it is worded in a hateful, despicable manner.
