Yesterday, we reported about the new challenge from civil rights groups to the remnants of Arizona’s SB 1070. As the debate around potential racial profiling by law enforcement continues, Reuters looks at the ongoing controversy surrounding Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio:

Last month, the Supreme Court struck down three of the four provisions of SB 1070, Arizona’s harsh anti-immigrant law. Now civil rights groups are going after the remaining provision—what many call, the “show me your papers” or “papers please” clause.

Recently, a group of evangelical leaders, including Jim Wallis of Sojourners, launched the Evangelical Immigration Table and offered a set of principles for immigration reform that include:

"Christians concerned about vulnerable immigrants have called laws like Arizona’s SB 1070 immoral and now the Supreme Court has declared those laws unconstitutional. Our national immigration system is broken, and a patchwork of harsh state-level immigration laws isn’t the way to fix it. The decision to strike down key provisions of this legislation is a victory for everyone in the faith community who seeks to follow the Bible’s call for concern for the vulnerable and “stranger” among us.

Church leaders today gathered in Washington, D.C., to announce the launch of the Evangelical Immigration Table – a broad coalition of organizations, churches and pastors from across the political and religious spectrum coming together to advance a cohesive immigration reform message.

From the first wave of European explorers to the present, white America has believed in its own entitlement. 

As our European immigrant forefathers began to settle this land, they took what they could not buy, exploited those that trusted, killed who they could not tame and purchased other people to work the land.

Hundreds of Alabamians gathered at the state Capitol grounds after their legislators passed HB 658, a harsher version of now infamous anti-immigrant HB56.

The debate over immigration policy and border security often focuses on the border shared by the United States and Mexico. However, The New York Times recently offered a revealing and troublesome picture of efforts by the U.S. Border Patrol along the dividing line between the US and Canada.
