Spent the day rockin’ our shirts all around campus. ;)
abhor, you need to start selling these shirts, for real.
In defiance of the new bill in Arizona and in support of the Arizona citizens who will face harassment every time they step out their doors, the call is out for everyone to ask the question: “Do I look “illegal?” for the full day of May 1st.
Post the question as your status on Facebook. Throughout the day, send the question out on Twitter. Ask one another the question, “Do I look illegal?” Hopefully, this will get all of us thinking and discussing what exactly does “illegal” look like..
Finally, wear shirts, buttons or hold signs saying, “Do I look “illegal”? and take pictures to either send to Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona and/or post them here..

Do you want to get a FREE sticker to show your frustration about the new Arizona immigration law SB 1070? Presente.org is giving them away (even free shipping) to spread the word that we won’t stand for racial profiling.
Undocumented Immigrants Pay More in Taxes Than They Use in Services
During their working life, undocumented immigrants in the United States will pay, on average, approximately $80,000 more in taxes per capita than they use in government services, owing to the fact that they are not eligible to take advantage of almost all of the social service programs offered by the federal government.

Phoenix to Wear ‘Los Suns’ Jerseys in Playoff Game
May 4 (Bloomberg) — Phoenix will wear “Los Suns” jerseys against the San Antonio Spurs tomorrow to celebrate the Cinco de Mayo holiday and to draw attention to an Arizona immigration law that team Managing Partner Robert Sarver said is “flawed.”
The Suns wore the jerseys twice during the regular season and also in past campaigns. This will be the first time they have appeared in them during the National Basketball Association playoffs. The Suns lead the Spurs 1-0 in the second-round series after a 111-102 win yesterday.
Wearing the jerseys is “a way for our team and our organization to honor our Latino community and the diversity of our league,” Sarver said in a statement released today by the team.
About 34 percent of Phoenix residents were of Hispanic or Latino origin at the time of the 2000 U.S. census, the last time such a measurement was made.
A law signed by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on April 23 compels police to investigate the status of anyone they suspect of being in the U.S. illegally.
The measure has been criticized by Latino and civil rights groups, and there have been calls for athletes to boycott sports events in Arizona.
“However intended, the result of passing this law is that our basic principles of equal rights and protection under the law are being called into question,” Sarver said.
The National Basketball Players Association praised the Suns and called for the repeal or modification of the law, which it said was “disappointing and disturbing.”
“We applaud the actions of Phoenix Suns players and management and join them in taking a stand against the misguided efforts of Arizona lawmakers,” Executive Director Billy Hunter said in the union’s statement.
My friend Sab’s head is on the NY Times slideshow of the Immigration Rally yesterday!
Yesterday was amazing, I am so blessed to have such amazing friends that care about this issue even though it doesn’t affect them as directly as it does to me. I was the only one out of my friends who was Hispanic and who has family illegally here struggling to be accepted. My friends are the best.
solidarity across different races/ethnicities /economic status/geographical locations is wonderful and empowering to witness. All the submissions to this blog is proof of that.
