Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn, together with the Chung Wha-Hong, Executive Director of the New York Immigration Coalition, Immigration Chair, Council Member Daniel Dromm, Council Members Melissa Mark-Viverito, Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez and a number of immigration and civil rights advocates, Thursday gathered to denounce Arizonas Law SB1070 which will allow law enforcement officials to stop and question a person they suspect may be undocumented, makes undocumented status a state crime, and opens the door to racial and ethnic profiling. Council Members also announced the passing of Resolution 162-A, which calls for Congress and the President to come up with a comprehensive immigration reform bill and sign it into law.
