Sen. Menendez Calls for Boycott of 2011 All-Star Game in Arizona
----------------------------------------------------------------



Democrat Robert Menendez of New Jersey has become the first US senator
to urge Major League Baseball players to boycott the 2011 All-Star game,
which is scheduled to take place in Phoenix. Menendez said, “The Arizona
law is offensive to Hispanics and all Americans because it codifies
racial profiling into law by requiring police to question anyone who
appears to be in the country illegally."
