ongoing racist bullshit in arizona thread

because having non-white people in a painting is obviously an attempt to create a "diversity power struggle"

ffs

Damn and now border patrol agents are killing Mexicans for throwing rocks over the border!!

T.J. Bonner, president of the union representing Border Patrol agents, said rock throwing aimed at Border Patrol agents is common and capable of causing serious injury.
"It is a deadly force encounter, one that justifies the use of deadly force," Bonner said.

This country is fucking embarrassing sometimes.

if you don't like it, leave, asshole

just kidding, this country fuckin blows

Dean Martin, Arizona state treasurer and Republican candidate for governor, is pushing a plan that would create "tent cities" to house convicted illegal immigrants, modeled after notorious anti-immigration Sheriff Joe Arpaio's set-up in his own Maricopa County.

In an interview with TPM, Martin described how the tent cities would provide "inexpensive temporary housing" that could save the state enough money to deploy troops down to the border.

Has anybody died of heatstroke in Arpaio's tent city? Seems inevitable.

Arpaio needs to go to fucking jail like YESTERDAY. Hate him so goddamn much.

Real talk.

It's like God decided just for laughs to let a James Ellroy character exist IRL and gave him teflon skin just for good measure.

good to know.

Well, we all know that the majority of the people that are coming to Arizona and trespassing are now becoming drug mules," Brewer said. "They're coming across our borders in huge numbers. The drug cartels have taken control of the immigration.

"So they are criminals. They're breaking the law when they are trespassing and they're criminals when they pack the marijuana and the drugs on their backs."

wow! it would be so exciting if this was true. unfortunately she doesn't seem able to produce any sort of source, proof, evidence, factual basis, anything. which is surprising since you'd think arizona law enforcement would be able to produce all kinds of statistics given the proportion of the budget most arizona municipalities throw in. she's an idiot. she wasn't even elected. she's a godsend to the republicans in arizona.

lol at this

Arizona republican primary is such a race to the bottom.

Persecution against Japanese was against legal immigrants btw.

mad photoshop skills

It is so weird, there's all these totally homemade looking signs on many corners in town saying that some or another politician opposes SB 1070. For me that's a bonus but I'm pretty sure these signs are saying it is a reason to not vote for that politician.

Also, naturally I read these signs as saying "GIFFORDS OPPOSES SUGGEST BAN 1070."

why do they need to make a separate org to fund these things?

Last year, two men showed up in Benson, Ariz., a small desert town 60 miles from the Mexico border, offering a deal.

Glenn Nichols, the Benson city manager, remembers the pitch.

"The gentleman that's the main thrust of this thing has a huge turquoise ring on his finger," Nichols said. "He's a great big huge guy and I equated him to a car salesman."

What he was selling was a prison for women and children who were illegal immigrants.

"They talk [about] how positive this was going to be for the community," Nichols said, "the amount of money that we would realize from each prisoner on a daily rate."

But Nichols wasn't buying. He asked them how would they possibly keep a prison full for years — decades even — with illegal immigrants?

"They talked like they didn't have any doubt they could fill it," Nichols said.

That's because prison companies like this one had a plan — a new business model to lock up illegal immigrants. And the plan became Arizona's immigration law.

unbelievable

its like terminator level dystopia

WTF is wrong with Arizona

People behind a new church in Phoenix are trying to stay ahead of any potential controversy or hate that accompanied the announcement of a proposed mosque near Ground Zero in New York City.

A new dome-like structure near 19th Avenue along Interstate 10 in Phoenix is the Light of the World church, a nondenominational Christian church hoping to modernize traditional worship services, a church spokesman said

Since the distinctive dome shape went up, church leaders said they have received phone calls from concerned neighbors who've mistaken the building for an Islamic mosque.

On Wednesday, church officials hung a sign reminding people they're Christian congregation. "We're trying to let people know that we're Christian and our churches are modern," said Uzieo Martinez.

They better be careful, pretty soon people will start thinking they're fundamentalists as well!

Whoa wtf at this:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130833741

and how did I not hear about it

Yeah, posted that before.

Scary.

u mosque, doggie?

so fed up with AZ. my (mexican) momz moved last year from phoenix up to prescott which is a pinch more lax (tho still the site of that stupid mural fiasco a few months back) and like of all the things for her to worry about its citizen papers in order?

also, everything else that gd state does wrong

good question, i didn't catch that

i'm looking through the emails (http://www.azcentral.com/kpnx/pdf/Pochada-pearce-emails.pdf) and yep, he wrote all of that stuff. wow. people elected this guy. representative democracy.

the problem with representative democracy is that it looks like you

at least the dude was recalled

“I’m a racist because I dislike having to push one for English and/or listening to a message in Spanish.”

Fuck man this is annoying enough as a facebook meme, acting like having 3 seconds added to your IVRU message is some unparalleled burden, but as a reason to legislate something like this....asdgbv/oagbviujsfw vc ufraw

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/02/28/joe-arpaios-racist-roast-and-other-stories-from/198268

Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne laid down the basic comic framework for his fellow roasters, totaling a dozen conservative dignitaries of local and national reputation. "Apologies to the Civic Center," said Horne, "but half of the kitchen staff was arrested tonight upon arrival of Joe and his deputies. Because of a budget crunch, the sheriff's cutting way back. No more green baloney for prisoners -- just an extra beating at suppertime. Over the years, Joe's touched many people. We know because many are now pressing charges."

Chuckling throughout Horne's routine on stage next to Arpaio was Russell Pearce, a recalled state senator with a documented fondness for neo-Nazi websites, and the primary architect of Arizona's controversial immigration bill S.B. 1070. Pearce smiled as his one-time ally in the 1070 fight, Arizona State Rep. John Kavanagh, began his set asking, "How many Hispanics did you pull over on the way over here, Arpaio?" He later added, "All these years I figured he was rounding up Hispanics because you had a grudge from [fighting in] the Spanish-American War. But if you were in the Korean War, how come you're not rounding up Asians?" Kavanagh was doing a bit about the difficulties of dining out with Arpaio -- "When we go into a restaurant, most of the wait staff and cooks dive out the back window" -- when he spotted a passing waiter who appeared to be Hispanic holding a platter of stuffed chickens, and screamed, "There's a brave one! Get him! Sic 'em!"

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2014/07/arizona_immigration_checkpoint_criticism_border_patrol_harasses_people_and.html

Crossing an interior immigration checkpoint in Arizona is a puzzling experience. A curious visitor from a peaceful foreign country driving around the state who happened upon a checkpoint for the first time might well wonder, on the basis of the cursory questions and inspections, why, exactly, the checkpoints are present. Visitors from countries wracked by military rule, coups, or civil wars, where checkpoints are routine instruments of control—and sometimes sites of violence and extortion—might feel more at home.

When an agent gives the OK—a nod, a “have a good day, now”—a traveler cannot help but feel a surge of virtue or a rush of relief.

well shit

This is the least racist bullshit you've ever seen.

knew this was coming, still so fuckin angry

what a farce

so i guess he's legalized racial profiling?

not quite. he's simply stating that in his view arpaio's willful, knowing and deliberate racial profiling, pursued consistently against thousands of people over decades, deserves clemency for unknown and unstated reasons.

thx for clarifying

Accepting a pardon is an explicit admission that you were guilty of the underlying crime, right?

You might think, but, no.
