San Francisco’s top attorney and a city supervisor are urging Major League Baseball to move the 2011 All-Star Game from Phoenix to another city to protest Arizona’s recent passage of the nation’s toughest immigration law. City Attorney Dennis Herrera and Supervisor David Campos wrote to baseball’s commissioner that Arizona’s new rule “has provoked a national outcry from religious leaders, constitutional scholars and public officials from across the political spectrum.” Arizona’s law, Herrera and Campos wrote, is a “prescription for racial profiling, discrimination and harassment — regardless of conduct, and regardless of citizenship — that is unprecedented in modern America.” (cont.)
