Arizona has stepped back into the proverbial ethnic boxing ring again with Senate Bill 1070, which was signed by current Governor Jan K. Brewer, and House Bill 2281, which was pushed mainly by Superintendent of Public Instruction Thomas C. Horne ’67 (Horne is also running for the position of state attorney general). SB 1070 requires that “for any lawful conduct made by a law enforcement official or agency of this state or a county, city, town or subdivision of this state, where reasonable suspicion exists that this person is an alien who is unlawfully...
Last Friday, Arizona’s Republican governor Jan K. Brewer signed into law the nation’s strictest bill on illegal immigration to date in spite of concern expressed by President Obama. Under the legislation, police may now detain individuals whom they reasonably suspect entered the United States illegally and authorities can charge immigrants with state crimes if they fail to carry proper immigration papers at any given time. In addition, it even grants citizens the right to sue their cities should they feel that the law is not being enforced strongly enough. While we understand that Arizona...

Under SB1070, however, Arizona police will have the right to stop anyone on "reasonable suspicion" that they may be an illegal immigrant and can arrest them if they are not carrying...
...Grace Brewer she is brittle, crazed with grief and absolutely unable to cope, unlike her math professor husband Allen (Pierce Brosnan), who would like her to at least allow the maid to pick their son's dirty socks up off the floor. (Writer/director Shana Feste has made the Brewers rich, and you can almost hear her pitch to the studio, filled with longing for the profound: "See, they had everything, but now, without Bennett, nothing.") All the Sarandon grief moves are there: the defiant head lift, the wide, wet eyes, the clenched fists, the accusations hurled at Allen...
