Protesters Greet Arizona Diamondbacks in Chi Town

The Arizona Diamondback baseball team has become a symbol of the new anti-immigrant law in their home state. This is in part because their bosses have been big supporters of Gov. Jan Brewer.

Today, dozens of protesters turned up outside their contest with the Cubs in Chicago to voice their disapproval of the state’s new racist law. Fans at the game also saw a small plane fly over trailing a banner attacking the new law, which allows racial profiling of Latinos.
