Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks May 31, 2010

Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick has been reported as being supportive
of SB1070 and the Arizona Diamondbacks were the National Republican Senatorial Committee's 3rd highest contributor in 2010. This new law must not be taken as a precedent for other states to follow and it and its supports must be stopped. LA Dodger fans and activists filled up seats at the game to send a message to Kendrick and other Diamondback executives that "LA doesn't play with hate."

"SB1070, also known as the "Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act," makes it a misdemeanor for an alien [read: undocumented person] to be in Arizona without carrying their registration documents as required by federal law. Signed by Gov. Jan Brewer on April 23, 2010, it is scheduled to go into effect on July 28, 2010. With the Arizona Diamondbacks in town for a three-game series against the Dodgers, the protesters saw a perfect opportunity to voice their opposition." - Jimmy Bramlett, LAist

"Jan Brewer's decision to sign the Arizona immigration bill into law is racist, deceitful and reflects some of the most mean-spirited politics against immigrants that the country has ever seen," Chuck D and wife Dr. Theresa Johnson said in a statement. "The power that this law gives to police, to detain people that they suspect to be undocumented, brings racial profiling to a new low." - Chuck D, Dr. Theresa Johnson

DODGERS WON 5-4!

SB 1070 is constitutional law. Everyone against it clearly does not support america or it's ideas

L.A. You can have ALL of AZ's illegal immigrants and California can be an immigrant state thats fine with me. If you are illegal and living in AZ go to California they LOVE you there and you will get free healthcare, education, and whatever you want!
