(New York, NY) – HIAS, the international migration agency of the American Jewish community, strongly opposes the Immigration; Law Enforcement; Safe Neighborhoods Act, SB 1070, currently before the Arizona legislature, and today urged Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to veto the bill when it reaches her desk.
According to Gideon Aronoff, President & CEO of HIAS, “If passed, this pending legislation would do more harm than good. The Jewish community has long called on our national leaders to reform our immigration laws to ‘welcome the stranger’ and to create an effective federal immigration system characterized by the rule of law and the humane treatment of newcomers.
“Yet if SB 1070 becomes law, it would create tremendous hardships for both law enforcement authorities and Arizona residents by making state and local law enforcement officers’ jobs nearly impossible, and by forcing all Arizonans – U. S. citizens, legal immigrants, and undocumented immigrants – to live under a cloud of suspicion and fear.”
“Among the more egregious elements of the bill is the authorization for police to impound vehicles transporting anyone found to be an undocumented immigrant. Potentially, driving to Sunday school could become an illegal activity. If Arizona passes such legislation, it will take itself out of the mainstream of American life and betray the proud history of a nation built by immigrants.”

One things for sure, any kind of Amnesty will be difficult to pass in this economic environment, as American unemployment continues to rise. The protection of every US workers job should be an ultimate priority.of every politician, including our national security. THE GATES OF ROME REMAIN OPEN, and savage drug dealers, criminal aliens still flow through the border. WE NEED FEDERAL TROOPS ON THE BORDER, TO STOP THIS TRAVESTY OF OUR LAWS. Pro-Amnesty Sen. Harry Reid, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Chuck Schumer, Janet Napolitano, Nancy Pelosi and other proponents.should be first to be voted out and a resonating example made of them. Don't let these lawmakers file away E-Verify, the 287 (G) immigration ICE laws for some other distracting law as a Biometric Card. E-Verify, 287 G has been proven and modifications will stop fraudulent job applicants in future upgrades.As for Arizona they have every right to enact their own laws and not listen to the Libs-Socialist and even Marxist copy in the New York Times or the Los Angeles Times or even La Raza.. If we unite together we can stop this travesty to our Immigration laws, by learning more at NumbersUSA
NONE OF OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS HAVE BEEN FULL ENFORCED-MOST HAVE BEEN INTENTIONALLY UNDER FUNDED, SUCH AS THE BORDER FENCE. Anything to enforce immigration laws, which includes Arizona's Senate bill 1070. The sanctuary state of California having to rethink its welcoming laws as Illegal migrants fleeing from Arizona will be arriving there in huge numbers. Already struggling with 18.8 Billion dollar deficit, extra welfare recipients could impact California's economy even more? Decide on the impending Amnesty, costs, population growth, environment, collapsing infrastructure and corruption at NumbersUSA. You might call Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to give her the courage in signing into law, the first strict immigration law in years Telephone (602) 542-4331 Rasmussen poll say 70 % percent of Arizona residents--SUPPORT--this law being passed.
