Amid protests, Kobach pushes immigration laws | Wichita Eagle

Amid protests, Kobach pushes immigration laws | Wichita Eagle.

 

There are many similar instances of Mr. Kobach insisting that “Reasonable Suspicion” is a viable legal standard that will not encourage racial profiling.  Very recently, February 16 in fact, he stated that reasonable suspicion can include a lot of things.

“Kobach said that could include someone acting evasive when a police officer asks for identification, if someone is driving on a known smuggling corridor, or even evidence of dust and sand that could come from a long journey across the desert.”

REALLY??? Driving on a known smuggling Corridor (i.e., I-70 or I-35) or evidence of dust on their clothing that could have come from a long journey across the desert????????  I cannot believe how stupid this argument is.  Dust and sand are also evidence of working in construction, on a farm, with sheetrock, on a roof, in a dirty basement…but is very unlikely that it is because the person walked across the desert to get to the US and then never bothered to shower before arriving to Kansas.  As if people just start walking in Cuidad Juarez and don’t stop until they reach their destination (Arizona or Kansas City or Minnesota apparently Kobach thinks that there would be opportunity to wash the dust off of themselves prior to their encounter with the police.)

Other evidence of reasonable suspicion I have heard is people acting evasive, not speaking English, or speaking broken English, driving in a crowded car or a car that is riding heavy, or if the car is old or looks like it has been on a long journey…wow.

How can anyone say with a straight face that this is not racial profiling.  This is racist and a thinly veiled attempt to target poor, brown people.  Like it or not, there is still racism and we as a society should adamantly oppose any law that institutionalizes and legitimizes the practice of stopping someone because they are brown, or have several people in the car, or are…god forbid dusty.

Incidentally, the police chiefs of most major cities are against this kind of thing because it amounts to an unfunded mandate that places an inordinate amount of financial strain on local police.  It costs money to house immigration detainees, millions of dollars a year in a city of any size.  This is money that most cities, in our times of budget shortfalls, do not have and if they do have it, wouldn’t that money be better spent on community issues(more cops or fire, fixing streets, schools).  Kobach does not think so.

In his term as Secretary of State, a job that does not include anything having to do with immigration, he has spent very little time doing the SoS business or readying the state for the huge expenditure that his pet project, voter ids, will cost.  That law went into effect on Jan 1, 2012, but no DMV or  Election headquarter is able to make the the “free ids” that were promised in the bill so as not to disenfranchise low income voters.  No one has been trained, there is no equipment, no one is sure how to do it.  Similarly, you apparently need a birth certificate to get one of these ids and those, too were suppose to be free.  Well that law, making them free, does not go into effect until 2013.  Very convenient.  Yet he has had time to give over 70 press conferences and interviews about immigration, attend many senate hearings to testify in favor of his pet bills styled after Arizona and Alabama and of course, bill hundreds of hours to OTHER cities and states defending them in their costly litigation over his anti immigration bills.

He is a crazy person and a racist.  Period.  And he is irresponsible with the taxpayer’s money and is ignoring his SoS job in Kansas in favor of making himself more famous.  Vilest form of politician.  Nothing but an opportunistic megalomaniac who cares only about doing what it takes to make him more political powerful.

David Leopold: March Sadness

David Leopold: March Sadness.

 

I was outraged, as I so often am by the poor sportsmanship and bigoted display shown by Southern Miss when the band apparently started chanting “show us your green card” to  a hispanic player over the weekend.  I also mention that this particular latino, was a native of Puerto Rico and a US Citizen.  But that isn’t even really the point.  It is exactly these sentiments that have become practically acceptable speech in our political arena when discussing immigration.  As David Leopold points out in his op-ed piece for Huffington Post, the barely coded hate speech of the anti-immigration, restrictionist movement has created a climate of intolerance and hatred towards all latinos.  Until we hold our public officials to a higher standard in their rhetoric, these kind of hateful displays will continue.

My Twitter account was hacked

Posted on March 18, 2012 by Angie Williams Posted in Office News .

My own twitter account as well as several other people who I know all had their accounts hacked today. The result is that many people who follow me received emails of direct messages from my twitter account. It is spoof or from the hack and not from me. Do not click the link and I would advise to change your own password just to be safe. I almost never directly message someone and if I know you and wanted to communicate I would just email, Facebook or call. So check your account and delete any direct message from me. Sorry : (

Facebook friend offer exposes mans other wife | Wichita Eagle.

 

Social media can be a very powerful thing.  My mom used to say that if you don’t want the whole world knowing about it then don’t write it down.  It  is something that I still try to remember when deciding whether to post a comment or add a photo to my social media sites.  Be aware that everyone has access to these sites and not only are your friends and family checking out your shenanigans but you can bet so are your bosses, government agencies, police, potential business associates as well as opposing counsel in a case you are a plaintiff or defendant in, potential clients before they come to your office, other attorneys before they recommend you a client.

Be careful what you put out there because you never know who will be looking at it.
