Arizona LULAC District 3 Applauds Local Efforts to
Oppose Arizona SB 1070
Top Officials in Pima County Make a Strong Stand to Oppose the
State’s Controversial Measure to Stop Illegal Immigration
Tucson, AZ, May 8, 2010: Arizona LULAC District 3 applauds the recent efforts made by the
Tucson City Council and Pima County Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik, to oppose SB 1070. These efforts
stand as some of the first in the state and illustrates the growing negative sentiment toward the state’s
policy makers. In his remarks on April 28th, 52-year law enforcement veteran, Sheriff Clarence Dupnik
characterized the law as being “unwise”, “stupid” and “racist” and went on to state that SB 1070 was a
“national embarrassment. . . If I were a Hispanic person in the state, I would be humiliated and
angered. From that point of view, I think it’s morally wrong.” This mounting disappointment with the
state’s governor and legislative body was further iterated this week with the 5-1 vote by the Tucson City
Council to seek a legal challenge to the law. In an interview conducted with Mayor Robert Walkup, the
Mayor stated that he felt that the law a misguided as those who were proponents of it felt that illegal
immigrants were “bad for the area's quality of life and economy.”
Expose Latinos in the state of Arizona to racial profiling and will place the rights of regular
citizens at risk.
Allow regular citizens to pursue legal action against law enforcement agencies should they
feel those agencies are not enforcing the law adequately which will only create more strain
