(sheriff joe is a disgusting piece of garbage that makes his own rules, constantly at odds with the POLICE department of phoenix. he's a criminal and his people chained a woman to her hospital bed, forcing her to GIVE BIRTH while in handcuffs.)

I thought the LAW doesn't go into effect until August, what gives?

And yes, Sheriff Joe is all those things and more.

sheriff joe makes his own rules, he says he's been "enforcing immigration" for 3 years. i'm sure that really means, pulling over brown people for 50 years.

And something I always see in these conversations is a very distinct difference between parents and non-parents. I might live a few miles from a city here in CA that has one of the highest rates of street murder among kids of color, but I don't get up every morning wondering if my kid will make it home from school. I didn't have this on me when I was raising my son even with the typical worries that parents have. A whole hell of a lot changes if you become a parent, no matter if biologically, via adoption, fostering, as a guardian or as a co-parent with a partner (Yup, making a point about all of the types of parenting!)

AtLastHome, as a parent, for 28 years, I have to say that I disagree with this statement. We can take it up on the other thread if you wish, as I don't want to derail this one. Perhaps I just need clarification. Thank you.
