County Supes: No Action on SB 1070

A federal judge is now reviewing SB 1070, Arizona's controversial new immigration law, and that has the imperial county board of supervisors reviewing how they plan to respond to the measure.

Initially, it planned to pass a resolution opposing the law. Then it decided to see what the Arizona Latino Caucus decided to do.

County Supervisor Jack Terrazas explains the Board of Supervisors planned to "follow the lead of the Arizona Latino Caucus and follow one unified message, thinking that would have a stronger voice at the federal level. Otherwise what does a resolution really do? It doesn't mandate anything, except show a feeling of support."

However, that plan backfired because "apparently they were so split that nothing came out of it."

In the end the caucus did nothing. Now Supervisor Terrazas say it's took late for the county to take action on its own.

Apparently, some members of the public disagree. Tony Ramos has been coming to Supervisors meetings for months, voicing his opinion about SB 1070.

Terrazas says "I can't believe you'd have the gall to collect seven resolutions, and not write your own ... you should stand up and either go for it or not go for it."

It didn't stop there, as Ramos took stabs at Supervisors, even saying "your time's going to be up too Jack ... you think you're smart, but you're not."

In spite of the outburst, County Supervisors insist they're keeping a close eye on the ramifications of SB 1070.

However, at this point, Supervisors say any action they take would be moot because "at this stage, it looks like it's in the legal hands."
