Latino organizations set up hotlines to report racial profiling
KVOA.com with The Associated Press ^ | August 9, 2007 | Staff

Latino organizations have created a network of hotlines for incidents of racial profiling. They say it's in response to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's hotline that encourages people to report information on undocumented immigrants.

Leaders of the Hispanic community say their hotlines will ensure the preservation of civil and constitutional rights and again called for Arpaio's hotline to be taken down.

The four hotline numbers staffed by Hispanic advocacy groups will be activated Monday.

When a call is received through the hotlines, lawyers on a volunteer basis will review the claims to see whether they are valid. If they are deemed valid, then the reports of racial profiling will be submitted to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

I wonder if these hotlines are racial profiling themselves. I should turn in a report on them.

just remember to cover your tracks.

if they refuse a report of a hispanic person being a racist then THEY have problems with their tax deductablity.

Also the use of phones helps with cross state border fraud.

WHO WANTS TO BE LAWYERS ARE SETTING THIS UP TO GENERATE BUSINESS!!!!

Lawyers did the SAME TRICK with ADA cases!

This is about attorney fees.

Find the firm and report them for using runners (aka soliciters) That is agains the model ABA rules which are followed may most all state bars!

Once the lawyers are gone these phone lines disappear.

It would be funny if this was a setup to catch illegals. You know, like when they send letters to a bunch of fugitives saying they won the lottery and they show up and get arrested. LOL

These people are not citizens of the US. The lawyers should be checked out to see if they are breaking the laws by representing illegals for the sole purpose to thwart any attempt of controling illegal immigration in this country.

Finally, who is actually paying for these hotlines and advice. If it’s us; we should put up a really, really big stink.

You know you may be right as they have to admit they are illegals to report and I wouldn’t think if they are in fact illegals, confidentiality would apply.

When a call is received through the hotlines, lawyers on a volunteer basis will review the claims to see whether they are valid.

As officers of the court, each lawyer will be committing misprison of a felony, if illegal conduct is reported to them and they do nothing. Thus, we should be sure to call this hotline and report any illegality by illegals - if they do not act, they should be reported to the court.

Let’s see, if I apply that logic I should be able to apply for every hispanic scholarship and grant available and nobody can point out that I’m anglo because that would be “PROFILING”. Then if they don’t give me the requested bennies I can sue them for “PROFILING” in their award process. Win-win.

Latino, Hispanic, Muslim, etc. are not races, so profiling these groups cannot be “racial profiling.” We all know of black Latinos (from Cuba, Santa Domingo) and of white Latinos (from Spain, Venezuela, etc.) Liberals want to apply the “Big Stick” of racisism when we’re only talking about a language group.
