I just want to take time out and applaud the Phoenix Suns’ owner, Robert Sarver. A few days ago on Cinco de Mayo—a Mexican holiday, Sarver decided to take a stand against the newly implemented piece of Arizona legislature known as the “Senate Bill 1070” by having the Suns play in their home playoff against the San Antonio Spurs wearing their "Los Suns" uniforms. Off of the court,this immigration bill has been met by much scrutiny because of the fact that it gives Arizona Police Officers the right to make “lawful contact” with people within our borders, when “reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States”(S.O.L.N.A).
We are all aware of the fact that illegal immigration is a major problem in the US; it has been for decades. I agree that desperate times often call for desperate measures, but they also call for just measures. This bill takes our country over 150 years backwards, past the Dred Scott Decision. I believe this is a problem, and I commend the actions of Sarver, the Phoenix Sun players and fans, and even the man who has adopted more causes than Angelina Jolie has kids—Rev. Al Sharpton. Thank you for deciding to be a part of the SOLUTION!
