Dennis DeConcini: “We have unduly harmed our legal Latino residents in this process.”

SB 1070 targets those with brown skin, and in my State those are my neighbors, my friends, and successful business associates.

We believe strongly that the recent calls for withdrawal of the area in last year's questionable House Natural Resources Committee emergency resolution violate the spirit of that 1983-84 agreement.

I am embarrassed for my State. I apologize for Arizona's actions toward our Latino community, legal or illegal. This is not a way to treat people.

I believe SB 1070 is ill-founded, mean-spirited, and divisive.
