Arizona Law on Immigrantion

Arizona Enacts Stringent Law on Immigration

Because of the downturn of the economy and because of increased violence associated with illegal immigrants, American people are becoming afraid of poor Latinos, legal or illegal. The new law passed by the Arizona legislature “would make the failure to carry immigration documents a crime and give the police broad power to detain anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. Opponents have called it an open invitation for harassment and discrimination against Hispanics regardless of their citizenship status”. For example, if I were in Arizona today, even though I am one hundred percent legal, because my papers are not up-to-date the police could find an excuse to legally put me in jail. Why? Because I am a brown person and I am not rich.
The problem of illegal immigration must be solved at the federal level by the Congress and the President. What should the government do with all the illegal immigrants who are already in the United States? Give them a legal path way to citizenship. Are the current laws fair to people who are illegally in the United States who want to stay or to my uncles who have always wanted to be in the United States but never found a legal way to get here.
