ALTO ARIZONA has just launched an invigorating portfolio of protest posters.
From the website: “Arizona’s immigrant community is organizing and preparing to mount the political, legal, and economic pressure needed to restore constitutional protections to the state. They need the nation’s help to change the federal policy that allowed for the formation of SB 1070.”

MORE GRAPHICS
While we are on the topic of illustration and instruction through posters, check out Jim’s discussion of authorities (civic, police, transit) graphics. In so doing, Jim includes the Fulana graphic below, which pushes back against posters requesting perfect paranoia and complicity of the public.

SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS?
We do NOT need immigration reform. We need immigration ENFORCEMENT! I have to show my ID when I board a plane and I am paying. Don’t you think people looking for government handouts should show ID proving they are here legally?
Simple question:
What happens if someone jumps the fence and wanders around a gated community without an ID? I am sure a resident of the community calls the cops saying someone that doesn’t look like they belong here is roaming the streets. The cops arrive. They would ask the wanderer a few questions. And since the wanderer does not have a valid reason for being inside the gated community, the cops would escort them out, wouldn’t they? Isn’t a country, like the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, a “gated community”, too?
We should treat immigrants like Mexico does:
At present, Article 67 of Mexico’s Population Law says, “Authorities, whether federal, state or municipal … are required to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country, before attending to any issues.” That would simplify things. We do NOT need immigration reform. We need immigration ENFORCEMENT!

TheRumpledOne. The clear problem with this legislation is not that it ignores the rule of law, because it doesn’t – it oversteps it. The result of this law will clearly be the harassment of people of color. White people aren’t going to be stopped randomly in the street and asked to prove themselves “legal”. There are other ways of enforcement beyond the construction of a total police state.
