Immigrations Law

On Friday the bill on illegal immigration was passed. It is considered as the toughest bill of the nation that is signed by the governor Jan brewer of Arizona. The main aim of SB1070 is to identify, execute and deport them. The bill was criticized by president Obama. According to the opponents “it is an open invitation for harassment and discrimination against Hispanics regardless of their citizenship status”. I don’t like this because this is not the fair way of treating everyone who is either legal or illegal. The law is kind a racial profiling that is a form of racism consisting of the policy of policemen who stop and search vehicles driven by persons belonging to particular racial groups. Somebody rightly said “it is very easy to support racial profiling when you are not of the race that’s profiled”. According to the anonymous source “there are 22, 737, 535 illegal’s in the country, 578,399 other than Mexicans and that’s only 4% of illegal’s that are not Mexicans”. The things that are needed to prove your citizenship are-

• A Arizona Drivers license
• A copy of your DD-214
• A passport
• A certified birth certificate

As per the 14 amendment to the U.S. Constitution “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws”. So where does the law goes now?
