Kobe Bryant’s Wife Wears “Do I Look Legal?” Tee to Protest AZ Law As ACLU Files Suit

[pampango]

Via Hoopnotes.com, Lakers star Kobe Bryant's wife, Vanessa, (who is part Mexican) took a jab at Coach Phil Jackson, who has refused to denounce Arizona's "papers-please" law, even after Los Suns made a strong statement earlier this month. Vanessa Bryant, pictured to the right here, is sporting a "Do I look illegal?" tee.

Arizona's Governor, Jan Brewer, has admitted that she has no clue what an "illegal immigrant looks like," but she didn't let that stop her from signing the controversial legislation, SB 1070, into law.

In fact, yesterday a coalition of civil liberties and civil rights organizations, including the ACLU, NAACP, NILC, and MALDEF, filed suit to block the law. According to the ACLU:

It is practically impossible to think of any legitimate way police could develop a suspicion that someone is here unlawfully without racial profiling. Under this law, people who look "foreign" are more likely to be stopped for minor infractions like having a broken taillight, jaywalking or having an overgrown lawn — and then asked for their papers if police believe, just by looking at them, that they could be in the country unlawfully. That means that U.S. citizens and noncitizens alike will be required to carry papers on them at all times.

10. i want that t-shirt!

I'm of Asian Indian origin ... am I legal? Will my naturalization certificate prove it? Or will the INS claim it's a clever forgery and lock me up?

Forgeries are getting more and more sophisticated.

The fact is, NO ONE can definitively prove they are here legally. :wow:

We should accuse the tea-partiers of being illegal Canadians. Their birth certificates are forgeries, just like Obama's! Birth announcement in newspapers does not prove anything -- it could just as easily be someone else with the same name. Hell, there are dozens of people with the name "Barack Obama" in Hawaii!

We should all wear that t-shirt!!! :P
