Protestors gathered outside of Bud Selig's office in Milwaukee Tuesday in an effort to move the 2011 All-Star game in Arizona. Arizona recently passed a new law which cracked down on immigration and as a result protestors want the game moved. There is a group called "Move the Game" which updates protestors and asks for people to sign a petition to relocate the All-Stars from Arizona to another location.

Protestors today held up signs that said "Move the game" and "Boycott hate" as they stood outside of the U.S. Bank building in Milwaukee. According to TMJ4, "Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo is among a number of Latino players threatening to boycott next year's game" as well. The group held a press conference Monday to help drum up 100,000 signatures on a petition to deliver to Selig.

Unbelievable. Protesting what may kill you and your family. Using baseball as your tool. If you know anything, this is Amerca's game/past time. We always played the game, during earth quakes, times of war and 911. For some reason everyone against the law only makes it a racist issue, when in fact 50,000 + illegals of other nationalities were caught or stopped. Jesus Christ in a coal mine, wake your butts up, go to school and learn something besides preudice in your protest.
Idiots and Illegals dislike SB1070 because it gives local power to enforce the law, as it should be.
If you are an illegal criminal border crossing entitlement seeker in Arizona, you are now subject to feeling what the federal government is supposed to do, identify, arrest and deport you.
There is no other Federal mandate. The only remedy the Federal law calls for is that you are not allowed to stay and if you don't leave on your own, The Feds are supposed to deport you. That's it, nothing else applies.
I understand why you don't like that, but that's the law and that is what Americans are screaming for.
Secure the border.
Then get rid of illegals in our midst.
Then we can talk about a worker program. A program that makes temporary workers leave when their temporary time is up.
We are sick of the crime and violence in Phoenix that Coyotes and Cartel members wreak, but that is nothing compared to the slow strangulation of job stealers and anchor babies.
