You are wrong about this. MSNBC just pulled their poll that showed an overwhelming number of people are for AZ and the law, which is a mirror image of the Federal law. Dems and Repubs are sick of the invasion. The token few idiots in Hollywood can go to hell.

I think we can understand your anger. If well-known entertainers\ comedians\ musicians performed in an anti-California concert I would be partly angry and partly ashamed. Many people value what Chris Rock has to say and it is not surprising that Blacks are standing in solidarity with Latinos. The past racism of Arizona coupled with the immigration law puts your state in a bad light that is unfortunate because most people really like Arizona and it's beauty.

I saw that poll right before it disappeared. 3.5 million for, 114,000 against.

All the news that fits. That poll didn't fit their agenda, so away it went.

"RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Singer Plans Arizona Protest Concerts

The Pulse of Radio reports that RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE frontman Zack de la Rocha's campaign to get Arizona's controversial new immigration law repealed is going to a whole new level. According to Billboard.com, NINE INCH NAILS, Chris Rock and Ry Cooder have joined the list of artists refusing to play in the state while the law is in effect, and de la Rocha is now planning a series of protest concerts that will take place on July 23Rd.

In general, the best policy is to do the opposite of what most rock stars and movie stars advocate. Most of these people have zero common sense and live their lives in chaos and that spills over into their politics.

I agree. I'd add the other thing would be to not allow eligibility for public services. Of course, the 1981 Supreme Court Decision Plyler v. Doe ruined that. I think Plyler v. Doe needs to be overturned.

I see, you still have your panties in the knot over Arizona....LOL

Don't you have a life? Girlfriends? Boyfriends? Sports? .....Any other interests that young boys tend to enjoy?

You don't have to look to AZ for your daily dose of racism, you have plenty of racism in CA to be concerned about.

Who actually values what Chris Rock has to say?..LOL...You?

Sharpton may be standing with latinos, but he is hardly a representative of all black people. Need I remind you that black people are legal US citizens who are tired of footing the bill for foreign nationals, as well.

If I was an illegal, I would be as upset about the AZ law, as you are.

Pardon me but you sound a little upset and yet accuse me of having "panties in a knot" and no friends! I am merely reporting that several entertainers are performing for free in order to help fund various anti-Arizona organizations. It's strange that instead of just accepting that many people view your state as the "hick' step-child of the West and for good reason you now attack the performers. Frankly, Chris Rock has a lot more fans than your state's ignorant politicians who seem to only bring more shame and ridicule on Arizona.
