"We all owe a great deal of gratitude to the civil rights workers of Arizona who have raised their crisis to the fore. Sheriff Arpaio is the best argument against the immigration status quo. His continued stay in office is warning to all of us facing the Arizonification of our towns and an urgent call for federal action. The President’s legacy on immigration thus far has been defined by DHS’s criminalizing immigrants instead of legalizing them. We hope his stance evolves."
