New immigration law in Arizona

With its new immigration law, Arizona has made millions of Americans angry and politically interested. On Saturday, May 29, protestors and supporters of the law gathered in Arizona and throughout the country. There are two basic positions.
There are those who believe that the law is needed because federal government has not yet enforced anti-illegal immigration laws. There are also those who believe the law discriminates against brown people, of Spanish origins.
For example: Charlene Pellin supports the first position. She came to Arizona for a vacation and joined 7,000 other supporters in Tempe, AZ. "Hopefully if enough people show support for Arizona more states will follow suit," Pellin said.
"The operative word in all this is 'illegal,'" said another supporter, Christine Griswold, a 54-year-old gynecologist from Palm Desert, Calif. "It has nothing to do with their race. It's that they're coming to the country illegally."
An example of the second position is Chelsea Halstead. She joined 10,000 to 20,000 other protestors at a march in Phoenix. "I don't think that this law is American. I think it's discriminatory," said Halstead, a 20-year-old college student from Flagstaff. "I'm offended by it because this is a nation founded by immigrants."
"If they stop me and they find my status, who's going to feed my kids? Who's going to keep working hard for them?" said Alfonso Martinez, a 38-years-old father of three. He has lived in the U.S. for 21 years and is trying to become a legal citizen.
What I think about this article is that there are many who are supporting this new law, but there are more who don’t support it. Here, in the United States there are many illegal immigrants who want only to be treated like a citizen in the U.S. What the Latinos want is only to be a part of this country. They only want to work and have a better life here and to help their family in their original counties. The majority of illegal people are in the U.S. because they came due to wars on because their countries are really poor and there are not jobs and because the pay is not sufficient. Like in El Salvador, everything is expensive. The prices are the same as the prices in the U.S, but the people don’t make enough money they can’t buy what they need or can’t have better opportunities in their lives.
