Hispanic activists lashed out Wednesday at state lawmakers who voted to require local police and sheriff’s departments to implement a program to address violations of federal immigration laws.
Lydia Guzman, vice president of Somos America, was particularly miffed with Hispanic legislators, virtually all of whom agreed to support HB 2807. And the Rev. Luz Santiago, pastor of Iglesia Puebla de Dios in Mesa, said lawmakers need to be reminded that “we’re the ones that can vote you out.’
The result is that the only way to kill the measure now is to convince Gov. Janet Napolitano to veto it.”*
