Tomorrow or soon to be today Thursday July 29, SB 1070 the anit-immigrant law from Arizona is going into effect. It is going to be a crazy day.
Today has already been an eventful day as changes were made to this law at the very last minute. Judge Bolton blocked the most controversial parts of SB 1070.
What're the changes that have been made?
Without a court order, police will not be allowed to randomly stop people to ask for papers to prove their status in the state - so racial profiling no longer allowed . . . technically
Day laborers are allowed to seek day jobs on the street
People are not allowed to stop and pick up day laborers - so yes this is confusing, a person seeking laborers is not allowed to transport the day laborers and the laborer is not allowed to be transported . . . so I supposed it's ok as long as the day laborer walks to the location of labor.
It will be illegal to transport anyone or in any way shelter undocumented immigrants to shelter them in the state of AZ - so if you're undocumented, stay out of AZ unless you already live there, cops aren't allowed to ask you for your papers unless they have a court order.
What will see happen first thing this Thursday July 29th? Raids, yes Sheriff Arpaio is preparing himself for the sun to come up and round up undocumented immigrants.
For once since the immigration debate has been this heated, Mexican embassies are promising to take care of their own, to make sure to look after the civil rights of their citizens who are residents of Arizona.
When daylight hits tomorrow I will be stuck to the news to see what's happening and giver you as much as I can. This next week is going to be crazy.
MUCH LOVE!!!
