Immigrant rights advocates are planning to rally Saturday outside one of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's jails to protest Arizona's immigration law.
The protest comes during the same week that a judge gave police the go-ahead to start enforcing the law's most contentious section.
The provision in question requires police, while enforcing other laws, to question the immigration status of those suspected of being in the country illegally.
The law's opponents say some officers will racially profile Latinos in enforcing the requirement, while supporters say they are confident that officers won't step on people's rights.
Organizers say Arpaio's jail was picked as a rally location because they allege that Latinos have been racially profiled in the sheriff's immigration patrols.
The sheriff has vigorously denied the profiling allegations.

You want to make these idiots really mad Sheriff Joe? Don't arrest any of them no matter how hard they try to get arrested. These La Raza kooks will not have any identification on them (even though they're here legally) and will make it as hard as they can to be identified. Then after they are identified they will try to sue you claiming racial profiling and for the time it took to identify them.
But then again you're a smart man Sheriff Joe and you know all their stupid tricks.

Hey La Raza !
I see that the large immigration mach you had in 2006 waving the Mexican flag worked out really well for you.

Arizona taxpayers pay for 53% of births in the state
Arizona taxpayers foot the bill for the delivery of more than half of all babies born here, a growing trend with a $200 million-plus annual price tag that has caught state leaders off guard. Please tell me that Illegal Mexican Occupiers aren’t part of this problem.
