Jerry Hairston Jr: Civil Rights Groups

Immigration Documents Dept: Civil rights groups were scheduled to protest the law before Tuesday’s All-Star Game in Anaheim, according to Globe And Mail. “I think they should move the game , because it’s going to be a lot of Latin players in the All-Star Game,” Venezuelan-born Padres catcher Yorvit Torrealba said. “It the law reminds me of seeing the old movies with the Nazis when they ask you to show your papers,” San Diego Padres infielder Jerry Hairston Jr. told ESPN.com. “It’s not right.” The law, which is being challenged in court by the U.S. Justice Department, would make the failure to carry immigration documents a crime and give the police broad power to detain anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. As reported in the news.
