Los Suns
The Owners and Players Union salute the Suns management and players for standing up for immigrant rights in a time where diversity, education, and the working class is being attacked by racist law makers and American extremism seen in Jim Crow Era. Since the introduction of Los Suns, we had Los Spurs, Los Mavs, etc..
Phil Jackson, however, has indicated he is strongly for the “protection” of this country by encouraging Arizona law makers to be harsh toward illegal immigrants. Law Enforcement will be given the right to question and ask for identification with anyone who looks illegal with the passage of the Arizona law. Vanessa Bryant, the wife of Kobe Bryant, has been seen donning the “Do I look Illegal?” shirt, a direct criticism toward Jackson’s lack of support for basic human rights.
I hope people can also start observing when is an immigrant “good” and when is an immigrant considered “bad”. During periods of good economic times, we welcome immigrants to take on jobs most American’s do not want yet when the economy tanks, we are the ones to blame immigrants for taking the jobs. Immigrants are generally the scapegoat during poor economic times with politicians taking their powers to introduce legislation showing that they are protecting Americans and the economy just like Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner are doing in California. We’ll see who can out dumb-each other for California’s Primaries.
To understand immigration is also to understand displacement. American’s and citizens of this world need to understand why so many people are poor. Humans aren’t born poor. There are those who exploit and those who get exploited. See any third world countries and tell me if there are any foreign corporations taking the raw materials or outsourcing their work to make more profits. American’s know this first hand when American Car companies started to outsource their labor elsewhere. Now the great Car unions in the American Industrial belt is wiped empty with ghost towns.
Steve Nash and the Phoenix Sun, you make the NBA, the fans, and the people of America Proud.
