Arizona Immigration Bill

Arizona political officers believe that illegal immigration is a huge problem for them. They believe that because of illegal immigrates there are more crimes committed and job opportunities taken away from the U.S citizens living in Arizona. So therefore they came up with the Arizona Immigration Bill which was signed April 23rd 2010. This law allows cops to question anyone who they suspect of being an illegal immigrant.
This Law is a little out of hand. It is racist when it comes to the cops questioning someone who looks like an immigrant because they have an accent, speak another language or don't look American. According to Obama this law is violating the civil rights, but not only does it violate the civil rights but it is also unconstitutional according to Frank Sharry (director of America's voice). The constitution states that congress is responsible for regulating immigration not the state. So Arizona shouldn't be signing a law that has to do with a federal issue. Immigration is a nationwide problem not state, if a law is going to be passed dealing with immigration it needs to be made through congress and made a federal law. The country border needs to be better secured and the current illegal immigrants need to become legal. So many people have lived here almost their whole lives and are not legal but if they go back to Mexico they don't know anything or have anywhere to go. Also if you run out all the illegal immigrants in Arizona or anywhere else your running out thousands and thousands of people, your neighbors, friends and coworkers.
