Not to be outdone by GOP in Dixie, Arizona Republicans are unveiling their own brand of racism.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\"racial-profiling\"<\/a> Hispanic leaders in the House of Representatives called Tuesday for President Barack Obama Tuesday to act against Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration legislation and to throw his weight behind a comprehensive immigration overhaul. <\/p>\n

Reps. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., and Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., demanded a halt to the bill that passed Arizona’s Senate Monday. The state’s House of Representatives passed it last week. If Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signs it into law, the bill would require immigrants to carry alien registration cards with them at all times and police to check people’s immigration status whenever there’s "reasonable suspicion" that they are in the country illegally.<\/p>\n

Grijalva and Gutierrez said that if Brewer, a Republican, signs the bill into law, the Obama administration should step in to stop it. <\/p>\n

"The president of the United States should simply say, ‘On the issue of immigration, the Constitution is clear, my power is clear \u2014 I’m going to regulate immigration in the United States from a federal level,’" Gutierrez said.<\/p>\n

Thomas Saenz, president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund who appeared with the congressmen at a news conference, said that the Department of Homeland Security could end agreements that allow Arizona law enforcement to police immigration laws or the Justice Department could challenge the initiative as a violation of civil rights law.<\/p>\n

An Obama administration official said the White House is reviewing the Arizona legislation\u2026 <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
