Mr. Grijalva, you lie. There is no way you do not know the truth, so it has to be an intentional lie. There was no provision in the immigration law, that allowed "police officers to check an individual's immigration status based solely on suspicion" ("Proud of opposing SB 1070," Yuma Sun, June 28, 2012). A police officer must have justifiable cause to stop the individual, perhaps for a broken tail light or for speeding. Then he asks for identification.  Everyone, all of us, each and every one, are then asked for identification. You know that.  So you lie.

         There can be only one reason for you to perpetuate such a lie. You want to divide us. You want to create problems where there are none. We are all Americans, and we are the only country in the world that welcomes people from every corner of the earth.  We are proud of that.  We recognize the fact that America's greatest asset is her immigrant population.  We are energized by their enthusiasm, strengthened by their commitment, reawakened to a sense of what is means to be American.  We simply want to welcome them at our front door.

           You should be working on a plan to  open that front door, to reform policies, to make it easier for people to immigrate,  but you don't want to do that.  That wouldn't get you re-elected.  You need the division, the anger, so you foment it.  Shame on you.
