Arizona immigration law activists hold vigil to back law

A candlelight vigil Friday in support of the state's controversial new immigration law and more arrests from protests against it wrapped up several days of activism and tension surrounding the implementation of the new law.

A federal judge's decision Wednesday to block some provisions in the law meant that its implementation Thursday was muted. But the decision did not please activists, and groups on both sides of the issue showed Friday that they will continue to call for the law's full implementation or rejection.

Two men carrying Mexican flags ran into the outfield during the seventh inning of the New York Mets’ game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night at Citi Field.

The men were apprehended by security fairly quickly without much incident.

Before the game, about 40 demonstrators across the street from the ballpark protested Arizona’s immigration law, chanting “Oppose racism!” and “Boycott Arizona!”

The Truths We Dare Not Speak About Illegal Immigration

In the last 48 hours almost everything that can be said about illegal immigration has been said. But I am more interested in a few truths that are never quite spoken.

1) Why the Sense of Exemption? Why and how exactly do the supporters of illegal immigration justify massive disobedience of federal law? I suspect the answer is predicated in large part on the source of illegal immigration — that if it were a question of a half-million entering illegal Rwandans or Balkan peoples each year, the issue would have remained strictly a matter of legality.
