Kris Kobach, the extremely controversial Kansas secretary of state, has been named to Donald Trump's transition team. Why should this terrify you? Because Donald Trump has just named one of the most racist politicians in all of America to his transition team. Kris Kobach was the architect of the most racist law in modern American history.

SB 1070 passed in Arizona in 2010. What did it mean? If you have brown skin or an accent, police had a right to stop you, detain you and demand you prove your citizenship. It was nicknamed the “Papers Please” law and thanks to Kris Kobach and the right-wing ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council), two dozen copycat bills quickly spread to other conservative states...

Kris Kobach is also extremely dedicated to making sure that minorities, women and low-income voters can’t participate in elections. His outrageously unconstitutional laws and actions were struck down by the federal courts last month...

This is a repulsive signal from Donald Trump. If this is a sign of things to come, buckle up. We are going to have to fight like hell to save this democracy.

More from the article:

On Oct. 25, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach was a featured speaker at a “writers' workshop” put on by the white nationalist The Social Contract Press (TSCP), according to a report from the Center for New Community. For an elected official, this is a problem.

"The Social Contract Press is a Michigan-based publishing house that routinely puts out race-baiting articles penned by well known white nationalists. The press is a program of U.S., Inc., the foundation created by John Tanton, the racist founder and principal ideologue of the modern nativist movement and TSCP’s publisher. Tanton has assiduously cultivated relationships with Holocaust deniers, eugenicists and various other extremists over the years. And he’s clear about his racism: “I’ve come to the point of view that for European-American society and culture to persist requires a European-American majority, and a clear one at that.”

You're a lying race baiter, Christie.

It did not say or mean "If you have brown skin or an accent, police had a right to stop you, detain you and demand you prove your citizenship."

You know it and you're just lying; because your butthurt over the election results.

U.S. federal law requires all aliens over the age of 14 who remain in the United States for longer than 30 days[5] to register with the U.S. government,[6] and to have registration documents in their possession at all times; violation of this requirement is a federal misdemeanor crime.

In June 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the case Arizona v. United States, upholding the provision requiring immigration status checks during law enforcement stops.

One Arizona Democrat who defended some of the motivation behind the bill was Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who said her constituents were "sick and tired" of the federal government failing to protect the border, that the current situation was "completely unacceptable", and that the legislation was a "clear calling that the federal government needs to do a better job".

On June 25, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in the case Arizona v. United States. The court determined by a 5–3 majority, with Justice Anthony Kennedy writing the opinion, that Sections 3, 5(C), and 6 of SB 1070 are preempted by federal law. These sections make it a state misdemeanor for an immigrant not to be carrying documentation of lawful presence in the country, allow state police to arrest without a warrant in some situations, and make it unlawful under state law for an individual to apply for employment without federal work authorization. All justices agreed to uphold the portion of the law allowing Arizona state police to investigate the immigration status of an individual stopped, detained, or arrested if there is reasonable suspicion that individual is in the country illegally. However, Justice Kennedy specified in the majority opinion that state police may not detain the individual for a prolonged amount of time for not carrying immigration documents, and that cases based upon allegations of racial profiling are allowed to proceed through the courts, if such cases happen to arise later on.

Why aren't you commenting on Kobach's ties to white nationalists?
 
I just want to know why you hate the laws of the country that have been on the books for decades


A lot of politicians talk to people that they don't necessarily agree with....I'm sure you do too....

A Gwinnett County high school teacher said she was left a note in class Friday telling her that her Muslim headscarf "isn't allowed anymore."

“Why don’t you tie it around your neck & hang yourself with it...,” the note said, signed "America!"

Gwinnett County Schools spokeswoman Sloan Roach said in an email that the district is "doing all it can to identify the person who wrote and left this note."

SB1070 DUMMY.

The Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (introduced as Arizona Senate Bill 1070 and thus often referred to simply as Arizona SB 1070) is a 2010 legislative Act in the U.S. state of Arizona that at the time of passage in 2010 was the broadest and strictest anti-illegal immigration measure in a long time.[SUP][2][/SUP] It has received national and international attention and has spurred considerable controversy.[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP]
 
A DeKalb County high school teacher was removed from class after going on a post-election tirade where she allegedly made disparaging comments about undocumented immigrants.

The Cross Keys High School teacher was not named by district officials, who said she will not return to a classroom until an investigation is complete. She was removed Thursday, a day after the remarks allegedly were made. PTA President Michelle Cisneros, through her daughter, confirmed hearing about the teacher’s rant.

At Cross Keys, 86 percent of the students are Hispanic or Latino. Most of those parents speak English as a second language, if at all. The school was in the news recently after state officials announced last week that the school reported the third-largest graduation rate increase between 2015 and 2016. Principal Jason Heard said then that helping parents learn English was the key that sparked more parental engagement.

Why do you hate freedom? Why did AZ EXPAND a law that was already on the books, and why were there so many legal challenges to SB1070?

The Arizona act additionally made it a state misdemeanor crime for an alien to be in Arizona without carrying the required documents,[SUP][8][/SUP] required that state law enforcement officers attempt to determine an individual's immigration status during a "lawful stop, detention or arrest", when there is reasonable suspicion that the individual is an illegal immigrant.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][10][/SUP] The law barred state or local officials or agencies from restricting enforcement of federal immigration laws,[SUP][11][/SUP] and imposed penalties on those sheltering, hiring and transporting unregistered aliens.[SUP][12][/SUP] The paragraph on intent in the legislation says it embodies an "attrition through enforcement" doctrine.[SUP][13][/SUP][SUP][14][/SUP]

You post says exactly the same thing....no one was restricting enforcement of federal immigration laws, they were helping enforce it....


.....there are federal laws against kidnapping too, does that mean a state don't have the power to have a similar law and enforce them....?
