I never heard that claim other than from idiots like you.

A state law that is almost word for word the same as federal immigration
law is "Juan Crow?"

The USDOJ case against the AZ law is about federal "preemption"
of immigration law. Where do you get this silly "Juan Crow"
nonsense?

And here you parrot the silly notion that enforcing illegal immigration law
is somehow the same as the civil rights struggle of the 60s.

So, you try to use this isolated incident in an attempt to make a point.
What do you say about the rancher who was shot and killed by an illegal.
The rancher did nothing but try to help Mexican cowboys to cross the
boarder for work and often aided those crossing his land illegally by
giving them food and water.

What do you have to say about the Pinal County deputy who was shot and left
for dead (luckily he was able to radio for help) by drug smuggling
illegals?

The LA Times story made no connection between the Yuma incident and the
1960s, that was you. You will have to explain how trying to protect AZ
citizens and the poor Mexicans being taken advantage of by
"coyotes" and drug gangs is anti-civil rights.

Take your time, you'll need it.
