One Week and Counting: The Furor Over Arizona Senate Bill 1070 Continues

One week has passed since Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1070 into law.  Still, tensions continue to heighten over the law.  The early suits challenging Senate Bill 1070 have been filed, with the first one brought by a local police officer. One cannot avoid hearing about the Arizona law on the television and radio news as well as in the newspapers and the net.  Indeed, Larry King Live hosted a debate last night over the constitutionality of the law between New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and former United States Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez.  The Inter-American Commission for Human Rights (IACHR) has expressed deep concern over Arizona’s new immigration law. CNN reports that college students are speaking out against the new law.  May Day marches for immigrant rights likely will squarely confront the new Arizona law.

The furor over Arizona Senate Bill 1070 is not going away quickly.
