More publicity hype just like Shakira and Ricky Martin... Anyone who makes any asinine statements about this law simply has not read the bill. I am an American born in California with Mexican ancestry. However, everyone who I asked who is against this bill has not read the bill. They have all their 'facts' from the media, interest groups, friends, or otherwise. As Tammy stated, this is not about Mexicans or 'hispanics' being targeted as victims of racial profiling and therefore illegal. This is simply about being here ILLEGALLY. Read the bill. I mean, com'on. Why would you not have your state issued ID, passport, credentials, or student visa, etc. on you? If you get stopped over in other countries, you get your ass handled. Thus, if you fail to show any documents, they take you in to screen you and so forth. And as Mike mentioned... it's ironic that mainly hispanics (and they don't speak on my behalf) are upset about this... Why do they not go protest in Mexico City? The souther borders of Mexico are ATROCIOUS. They treat Central and South Americans who are trying to go through Mexico to get to the US beyond inhumanely. But I assume boycotting and protesting against your own country of origin would seem just ridiculous... but not in America.

Al, its different. The federal government doesn't control the local police that everyone sees everyday. Similar to Phil's point, yes, if I'm planning to do air travel, I understand there are certain civil liberties that I must give up in order to provide security and safety to the rest of the air travelers and others. However, I shouldn't feel like I'll be interrogated during my day to day activity. Or do you think that is okay? D. Porter... I'm having a real hard time understanding what you're trying to say. I guess standing up for the ideals and values that founded this country is America-hating. This country would be nothing if it weren't for the immigrants here. America is great because this is a country where anyone has a chance to make it. Often (not always), the best, the motivated and the grateful end up in this country, love it, and make it better. I'd like to keep it that way. Out of 320 "American" Nobel laureates awarded, 25% of them were foreign born. American does a great job of attracting bright minds and ambitious personalities. And that is why this country is great. Phil - Under that same reasoning, government officials should be able to enter and search your home at any time. You haven't done anything wrong. Nothing to worry about, right? Who cares about the 4th amendment. And people wonder why America is so hated around the world. Maybe its because of our idiotic intolerance and mistreatment of people who aren't part of the Aryan race. Repeated intolerance. We have quite a few embarrassing and shameful moments in history in America. At some point we'll realize that this is just another one.

Why don't they speak out about immigration policies of Mexico, Canada or practically any other country? Yeah, why don't they read the law? Why don't they speak out on those who support illegal immigration and thereby slave labor? Where's their compassion on those issues? People that are speaking out about this are either ignorant or have a hidden agenda. The only people who think this is racist are racist themselves. Proven by their inablility to see beyond skin color. I am embarressed for MLB.

I am disgusted at the lazy journalism and the lack of checking facts by these writers. This is just substandard writing, unethical. Investigate the facts first. You cannot be pulled over becauseis the color of your skin. NOT ALL ILLEGALS ARE HISPANIC. This is NOT an anti immigrant law, it is about being here illegally. Last I checked...MLB IS NOT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM EFFECTED BY THIS LAW. All players are legally here, so why is MLB conscerned at all? Read the law

Arizonia Law says if someone breaks the Law if that person cannot prove they are in the United States legally, they will have the United States search Databasees; once proven they are not here legally that person will be turned over to the US Immigration. Many from all Countries come here on Student Visas, Working Visas, or Green Cards, and many sneak across the Border. How does this effect only Mexicans? if they are illegaly then they should go back to thier Country be it Asia, Europe, South America. I submitted a comment befor, so far it doesn't show so i'm sending this one

Read the Arizonia Law; it just mirrors United States Immigration Law. If Major League Baseball decides to boycott Arizona, I and millions more Americans will boycott Major League Baseball. We want nothing to do with an organization that would work to subvert the rule of law and and the wishes of the American people.

So now the all-American game has become infested with pro-invasion subversive types and brain-dead liberals and radical "progressives," eh? You'd think that leaders/managers in this and other sports would be in favor of law and order, but this BS shows otherwise. Well, amigos, go bat your balls around to a smaller audience.... Americans ought to be spending their spare dollars elsewhere, not on a bunch of overpaid America-hating nitwits at some ball part. Oh, BTW..... Ozzie Guillen, FOAD!

If you have done nothing wrong and you have entere this country legally, what is there to worry? Consider it and accept it on the same premise the TSA uses to check people through security at the airport! Unfortunately it has to be done and if you are against it then maybe we do need to check the legitimacy of your citizenship!
