It’s going to affect the whole community because they’re not going to be able to go out, have a normal life. They’re going to be afraid that if we go out they might – we might get stopped just for your color.Of course, the fact is that laws governing immigration are supposed to do just that, make lawbreakers fear their status. Tougher laws are successful in making illegal entrants self deport. That is why they work. Taibbi did include a few words from what he calls “supporters of 1070,” granted, but the fact is he labels them as such while he never says a word about the activism of Mrs. Leticia Ramirez. She is presented as a suffering mother and wife, not the activist she is. So an activist fighting to be allowed to break our laws is given the benign label of “mother” and “wife” while those hoping to strengthen our laws are labeled as “supporters” of a crack down that hurts poor mothers, children, and widows everywhere. That’s more Old Media “balance,” I suppose.
