It has now come to the point where every Monday morning it seems, Arizona's governor Jan Brewer signs another bill into law and the common denominator with these bills is simply racism.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer
SB1070, better know as the Show-Us-Your-Papers law was signed by governor Brewer and is geared at cracking down on illegal immigrants in the state. The purpose of this new law,
- ===> to make attrition through enforcement the public policy of all state and local government agencies in Arizona. The provisions of this act are intended to work together to discourage and deter the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the United States.
However, in the process of deterring "the unlawful entry and presence of aliens and economic activity," the new law asks it's police department to determine who is an illegal alien. SB1070 includes language on trespassing, which will give police officers the authority to stop anyone they deem to be trespassers, and then ask for their papers.
The specific provision on tresspassing states that,
- ===> A person is guilty of trespassing if the person is "present on any public or private land in the state, and if they're in violation of 8 United States Code section 1304(e) or 1306(a).
The police officers in Arizona can now stop people on the street, which can be considered "public trespassing" and ask for their papers. It's then obvious that the law instituted to control illegal aliens, must determine through racial profiling who these illegal alien are.
SB1070 not only makes it possible, but necessary for racial profiling in Arizona.
But Jan Brewer didn't stop there. She has now signed another piece of legislation into law. This time, she's not only attacking those that fit the profile of an illegal as outlined in SB1070, Jan Brewer has just signed a bill making it illegal to teach ethnic classes in Arizona's public schools.
HB2210 was signed into law less than 20 days after Jan Brewer signed SB1070, and calls for an end to public schools teaching about ethnic groups. No more teachings about the history of the United States involving Blacks, Asians, Latinos or Indians and the contributions these groups have made to America. Jan Brewer and the Arizona Republicans have decided that Arizona students don't need to know about other ethnic groups, only the contributions of their own kind, Whites.
So it leads you to wonder, what is causing these types of legislations to be signed into law. Jan Brewer states the lack of Federal immigration laws as a reason for the Show-Us-Your-Papers law. She claims that the drug dealings and murders committed in Arizona has lead to these drastic new laws. However, these problems have been around for decades.
Illegal Immigration has always been a problem in America, and border states like Arizona have always been especially hard hit. But never has a state decided that they were going to take the steps Republican Jan Brewer has taken to eliminate the illegal immigration problem. Something has changed, and it's not the democrat in the White House, there's been democratic presidents before. It's the black democrat in the White House.
There is a conscience effort on the part of Jan Brewer, the republicans in congress who have decided to be against every policy this president proposed and even some that they themselves wrote, to make sure that Americans are divided and scared of each other. Their mission is not just winning the next election, but polarizing Americans to the point where simply learning about each other's racial heritage is no longer possible. A divided nation is a failed nation, and nothing will divide a nation more than pointing out the racial boundary and insisting through laws that these boundaries be maintained.
The election of Barack Obama, the first black president of the United States, has not brought Americans together. We have not crossed the racial boundary that divided us. The election has given these republicans a reason to picked at the old scab that has plagued this country since slavery. What was supposed to be progress and the coming together of all races, the learning of our fellow American and the vision of a country moving forward as one people, has been intentionally turned into an us vs them mentality.
The black president in the White House must not succeed and they'll use the most divisive method available to make sure he fails. They will turn his presidency into Us vs. Them, Whites vs Minorities.
The sleeping dog called Racism is now a awake, thanks to those Republicans like Jan Brewer.
