AZ Latino leaders: Veto immigration-policing bill

By immigrationprof

The Arizona Republic reports that a handful of influential Latino activists have delivered a letter to Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano asking that she veto a measure that would require local police to cooperate with federal authorities on immigration enforcement. Opponents, including leaders Salvador Reza of Tonatierra and Hector Yturralde of Somos America, worry that the measure, House Bill 2807, would further isolate the Arizona Latino community and result in racial profiling.
