Looking for competing viewpoints in the coverage of the Wrigley Field immigration protest yesterday, WTTW's Chicago Tonight crew tracked down Illinois Minutemen Project Director Rosanna Pulido to get her say on the Arizona law. Not surprisingly, the inflammatory former congressional candidate criticized immigrant rights groups, saying that their outrage has been driven by "a lot of spin and a lot of emotion." Watch it:

PULIDO: It's a lot of spin and a lot of emotion.  And what people need to do is understand that the Arizona law simply unties the hands of police officers, when they do make a stop, to find out if the person that they stopped is a fugitive that is wanted in some jurisdiction.  That is a police officer's job.

In fact, Pulido is the one "spinning" about the Arizona law. It doesn't "untie an officer's hands" when he or she make a routine stop. The law instead requires police officers to question a resident's immigration status  -- regardless of behavior -- if the official has any "reasonable suspicion" to believe the person is undocumented. Forcing police checks at the grocery store or a local school can't just be dismissed as a normal part of a police officer's job.  Why WTTW is quoting her as a credible source on this subject is beyond us.
