ASKED DOWNTOWN
What is your opinion on the recent Arizona immigration law? Doug Obayashi Technical Writer I’d wear a “Los Suns” shirt like the basketball team did to show support. I think it’s a travesty that they passed it. America was built on immigration. And it’s the same state that didn’t pass Martin Luther King, Jr. day. But also, it’s important to note it is not the whole state that backs the law, and the basketball team is a good example of that.

Amanda Paulos Banking I’m against it because it is kind of like being racist. It’s wrong. There are a lot of Mexican people here legally that don’t deserve to get profiled.

Amanda Coronado Student There is a lot more to the bill than people are considering. They are standing on old prejudices and making judgments out of anger. There is some good in the bill. People need to read up on it before they open their mouths.

Accountant It is racist, for sure. You can’t stop people in the street because you suspect they are doing something illegal. These laws have been around for centuries. It is unconstitutional. It is wrong on so many fronts. I can’t believe I’m in a country that would allow that.
Strong bones are an essential part of good health. They protect internal organs, store vital minerals and allow us to stand and walk. Unfortunately, the aging process and other factors can gradually weaken our bones, leading to osteoporosis, which ultimately can cause fractures, loss of independence and even death. To understand the risk factors associated with osteoporosis, how to prevent it and the latest treatment options, we invite you to register for this free education seminar by calling the ValleyCare Health Information and Physician Network at 1-800-719-9111 or visit www.valleycare.com/educationseminars.
Ray Magsalay Horticulturalist In 1955-56, growing up here on Santa Rita Road, I’m familiar with that whole immigration sweep. Those sweeps were something else. Immigration has put a strain on a lot of cities and I understand that, but on a humanistic side, laws like this one are a problem. It’s sort of sad that it has actually come to this. —Compiled by Elyssa Thome Have a Streetwise question? E-mail editor@PleasantonWeekly.com
