    Default WBC Bans Arizona due to “the shameful, inhumane anti-immigration law"

    Boxing - Fightnews

    World Boxing Council President Jose Sulaiman, the WBC Board of Governors, and the Federation of Boxing Commissions of Mexico (FECOMBOX) have unanimously agreed not to authorize Mexican boxers to leave the country to fight professionally in Arizona due to “the shameful, inhumane, and discriminatory anti-immigration law, which is no other thing than a flagrant violation to the basic principles of dignity and equality between races.” A WBC statement likened the new Arizona law cracking down on illegal immigration to apartheid in South Africa noting that great figures of boxing have fought in Arizona including Julio Cesar Chavez, Salvador Sanchez, Konstantin Tszyu, and “Coloradito” Lopez and that the WBC will not expose boxers “to suffer that degrading act, humiliating and inhumane, as racial discrimination is.” The prohibition will come into effect on May 1st, 2010, respecting retroactive contracts. The WBC also notes that they are certain that the Arizona State Boxing Commission will understand that this is “an action against politicians who do not have a just mind and do not respect human equality.”

    This is actually for a good cause, the law is rooted in racism and is actually kind of scary.

    The WBC should stay out of politics. This law is not rooted in racism, it's rooted in desperation because the federal gov't refuses to do anything about the border and illegal immigration. I can understand why some people don't like it but it's ridiculous that before this, cops can't even stop known gang members to see if their illegal or not. And the Mexicans are such hypocrites....try being a Central American sneaking into Mexico and see how you're treated.

    Why don't they just build a huge ditch across the whole continent right to sea level and then just push South America a few miles south? Build a bridge or isthmus and control the entry from there?

    Better yet, why don't they just discard the whole concept of citizenship, and just let everybody and anybody in. I mean, who needs laws?

    Yeah, I don't see the problem with being expected to carry ID around with you. A foreigner is expected to have ID at all times where I live and it isn't a problem. Mind you I have never been asked for my ID and I rarely carry it anyway, but I don't fear any consequences as I have permanent residential status. All it takes is a quick flash of the card and you are on your merry way unless you ain't got the VISA. In which case you should be deported.
