What will all the baseball teams do that have spring training in AZ
Many ball players are not US citizens, will MLB players get off the hook?

3. Since MLB players have a Visa, green card or passport, there is nothing to do.

4. Well, no. Having your stuff in order is no guarantee you won't be hassled.

10. But that will not stop the law from hassling them
They will have the right color of skin.

I guess if they are driving really nice cars, they will be left alone.

12. What you are not understanding is that even people here legally,
even American citizens are fair game for harassment under this law.

7. Not only BASEBALL BUT .. NHL HOCKEY as well...
Edited on Fri Apr-30-10 04:03 PM by AsahinaKimi
There are players from many nations on the Hockey teams. Both the NHL and MLB needs to put sanctions on Arizona. If necessary, cancel their seasons. Or, make them travel to Nevada to play.

11. Steve Nash
Phoenix Suns point guard
Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player
7 time NBA all-star
4 time NBA assists leader
2 time NBA free throw percentage leader

Not an American citizen. He's from British Columbia.

Vere are your papers, Mister Nash?
