Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon (D) seeks to block AZ immigration law

[Mari333]

Gordon, a Democrat, joined some federal lawmakers, including Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., and about 3,500 protesters Sunday at the Arizona Capitol, assailing the measure signed Friday by Republican Gov. Jan Brewer as a "racist and unjust" attempt at achieving an overhaul of the USA's immigration policies.

"This is dividing our city and our state; it's tearing us apart," said Gordon, who will seek City Council approval Tuesday to file a lawsuit against the state to block the measure.

2. Interesting

I have been watching this thread and thought it would generate some great comments but so far it isn't being viewed very much and all the negative stuff about Arizona is getting the attention. I realize that this bunch of new laws stink to high heaven and that many are angry about it with good right, but it does bother me how the effort to fight this here in Arizona is so under viewed. Maybe it has not been up long enough but I hope it will show that the fight is being fought here.
