Excellent point that George Lakoff makes on this TruthOut OpEd piece titled Disaster Messaging that tackles what Project Economic Refugee has been covering on the [In]Secure Communities Program:

End a Bad Law: 287(g)

Bad laws, laws that hurt far more than they help, should be eliminated. Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is a bad law. Here’s why.

"What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
-From Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

In the case of Arizona, perhaps the more appropriate question should be "would calling Arizona’s SB 1070 law by any other name other than "Nazi" make it any less racist or any less authoritarian?"

On Gulf cleanup: instead of ICE raids, we need to ensure that all oil spill cleanup workers and volunteers have protective equipment. We need to make sure the cleanup efforts have proper expertise and leadership behind them. We need to get our priorities straight. Just what is going on?

In more disturbing news related to border violence: two Latino men were killed; Immigration Talk with a Mexican American is reporting that one of the men found dead was clutching his birth certificate covered in blood and that eerily, this happened the day after Barbara Coe, leader of the hate group California Coalition for Immigration Reform incited attendees of a "Phoenix Rising" Rally to "lock and load".

President Calderón made headlines this week, more than anything for his address to a joint session of U.S. Congress where he asked for the reinstatement of the assault weapons ban and for the rejection of Arizona’s new authoritarian police law. Watch his full address by clicking here.

The following originally appeared on Project Economic Refugee.

On the race for California’s next governor, Project Economic Refugee previously exposed Steve Poizner for all his poisonous rhetorical attacks on immigrants, economic refugees, and by extension on Latinos and other minorities. Meanwhile, Meg Whitman, his opponent in the Republican June 8 primary, has been particularly slick on the way her campaign has handled the issue. She has proven that she certainly knows on which channels she should air her anti-immigrant messages and on which ones she should not: she has shown relative restraint on her T.V. ads but has let loose on the radio, unlike Steve Poizner who to his own political peril has gone all out with his blame-the-immigrants messages on T.V. where you unavoidely reach a more complex political spectrum.

The following originally appeared on Project Economic Refugee.

Sarah Palin's recent comments on Fox News justifying Arizona's new immigration law have revealed a sliver of what her attitudes are towards immigrants and colored minorities. The post discusses the troubling pattern emerging on Sarah Palin: support for big government authoritarian laws written by Nazis, and absolute silence in the face of racist and sexist hate. This anaylsis is in the context of the Sotomayor confirmation hearings last year, Palin's presidential aspirations, and the recent announcement of fellow Tea Party supporter Texas Governor Rick Perry, criticizing the Arizona law.

The following originally appeared on Project Economic Refugee.

Arizona Republicans pulled a suicide pistol on their political careers by passing such racist unconstitutional and therefore anti-America law. These politicians and their allies in the Tea Party crowd are about to get a lesson on what a real rally looks like.

The following originally appeared on Project Economic Refugee.

Now that Governor Brewer has signed SB1070 into law, there’s been a lot of talk in the past few days about boycotting Arizona. One good starting point would be to boycott those companies that donated money to those politicians that voted for passage of this law in the first place.
