My grandson, a U.S. citizen, was born in Guatemala and has darker skin than the rest of us, his European relatives. If Arizona's new law, SB 1070, takes effect, and he is traveling in Arizona, police would be required to stop and interrogate him simply because he is brown-skinned or speaks Spanish.
In a way, I am pleased that my father is no longer with us, because he would be devastated to observe what has become of this great country that he loved and sacrificed for.
Members of our family are planning a trip out West this July, but as of this legislation, we will definitely skip Arizona.
