Councilor Romero led the Tucson Mayor and Council to unanimously oppose SB 1070, as it forces police to stop and question anyone on the suspicion of having entered the country illegally. The bill would make it a crime to not carry documentation that proves a person is in the country legally. "This is a divisive bill. In the midst of major state budget deficits, the Republican-led legislature instead focuses on dehumanizing minorities," Romero said. "Our law enforcement resources should be utilized against violent crime, break-ins, and general public safety, not in random searches for undocumented people that opens the door to racial profiling." Romero is also concerned with the lawsuits that would follow if citizens perceived that police departments and government officials were not enforcing the law. "We cannot allow children and their families to live in fear," Romero said. "The public will lose trust in police and government officials and may avoid reporting serious crime or seeking emergency medical care." ###
