Immigration: Immigration Law

David Ortiz Dept: Jackson tells The Associated Press that it's too late for the players to withdraw. He says they should play and speak out, according to Vancouver Sun. Ortiz says he won't get involved with any protests surrounding tonight's game in Phoenix and the Rev. Jesse Jackson urged baseball's All-Stars to speak out against the Arizona immigration law, saying they should follow the example set by Jackie Robinson when he broke the sport's colour barrier more than a half-century ago. Boston slugger David Ortiz was among the few players willing to talk Monday about the law. He is from the Dominican Republic and says he would never agree with treating immigrants "the wrong way." As reported in the news.
