As we know Arizona has came out with a new state law signed by Gov. Jan Brewer as well as signing an executive order. This new law orders immigrants to carry any form of registration documents at all times. It also requires police officers to question people if they believe that they are illegal. This new executive order requires all police officers to get proper training about when they can and cannot stop and request people about their immigration status. Immigrants in Arizona believe that the court will step in and declare the law unconstitutional. Other immigrants believe that they should flee and leave Arizona. The Mexican American legal defense and educational funds already have vowed to sue. Thomas Saenz, the organizations legal counsel agreed that federal law prohibits race and ethnicity from being considered. He also said that this new law illegally intrudes on the soul right of the federal government to determine if someone is in this country legally. Attorneys say that those who believe to challenge the law may have a case. At a press conference Brewer seemed speechless by a question of what an illegal immigrant looks like. He responded by saying I don’t know. Gov. Jan Brewer says that the law will be enforced civilly, fairly and with out discriminatory points to it. Then why would Brewer sign a bill that is now made into a state law that points the finger at illegal immigrants with out even knowing what an illegal immigrant looks like. I have thought about this topic very seriously and it has strongly grabbed my attention since it has been on the news. I believe that this law is unconstitutional because I look at it as Arizona trying to point the finger at Mexicans. I have a lot of opinions on this topic as well as a lot of people out there who are against this law as well. I could say that immigrants belong here as well as anybody else does because God didn’t put borders on this world and neither should anybody else try to. What do you believe is right?
