AFL-CIO - Federal Government Must Cut Ties with Arizona Law Enforcement
2010-05-16
The AFL-CIO and the nation's largest civil rights coalition issued a strongly worded call for the Obama administration to sever its ties with law enforcement officials in Arizona or be complicit in the state's racial-profiling anti-immigrant law, also known as S.B. 1070.
Idiots.
In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and Wade Henderson, president of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights (LCCR), a coalition of more than 200 organizations, urged the administration to immediately stop cooperating with local law enforcement officials in Arizona.

#7  There's something like a dozen other states contemplating adopting the Arizona law that's driving the left crazy, if they do this could get very interesting.

#6  What the hell, ask Zero to cut us out of the union all together. Won't break my heart. They can back fill AZ with PR, the perfect nanny state...

#3  I'd film/ask around AFL-CIO union halls among the unemployed to get a nice youtube video...

#2  So in other words, any state that adopts and enforces federal immigration regulations must be cut from ties with federal law enforcement.

Interesting concept. Sounds typical and is exactly the reason why we need the federal government to cut all ties with the AFL-CIO and we need to rid this country of that organization.

#1  I think the FBI should investigate the AFL-CIO for possible violations of our immigration laws.
