Gabriela Saucedo Mercer is running in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Arizona's 3rd District. She won her Republican primary on August 28, 2012 with 64% of the vote. The general election against incumbent Democrat Raul M. Grijalva and Libertarian Blanca Guerra takes place on November 6, 2012. Candidate Gabriela Saucedo Mercer lacks the skills to hold federal office and this scrapblog is the evidence behind that accusation.
Civil Rights Groups Worry as SB 1070 Goes into Effect
with Kris Kobach, lawyer for FAIR and architect of SB 1070
"Section 2B of Senate Bill 1070 that requires Arizona law enforcement officials check the immigration status of anyone they encounter and believe is undocumented. The law is set to go in to affect immediately, but civil-rights and advocacy groups warn Section 2B — popularly recognized as the SB 1070’s “show me your papers” provision- - will likely result in racial profiling."
"Legal papers filed Friday with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals contend that the “papers, please’’ provision of SB 1070 is so racially biased that it cannot be allowed to take effect while its legality is being litigated. And they contend that allowing it to be implemented in the interim would result in “irreparable harm’’ to Latinos and other minorities.
"Those same arguments were rejected earlier this month by U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton. In fact, Bolton said she was bound by a June ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court declaring she was premature in issuing an earlier injunction even before the law ever took effect.
"But Linton Joaquin, attorney for the National Immigration Law Center, said Bolton was legally wrong in that conclusion. So, he wants the 9th Circuit to correct her."
