Against the Arizona Immigration Law

This new law that passed in Arizona, is just wrong! I don’t think that people must carry IDs at all times, when walking in the street. People that already have residency are the ones targeted just because they look “Mexican, immigrant, or Latino”. I am Mexican-American, I can understand the people that are not white but yet are legal here are feeling, the harassment that this new law has created. But what I cannot understand is why we are being the target? Why are the Mexicans being disliked? Why are we the only ones being targeted? There are Guatemalans’, Chinese, Argentineans’, etc. We are not the only ones here, but yet once they talk about immigrants they look at the Mexican race, that is discrimination, and racist. We are humans too! Are we going to have to end up wearing a brown star to show that we were born here, have our documents at all times to show that we are residents now, or wear a shirt that says “I am legal”? Are we going to go back with how the Germans were with the Jews, making them wear a yellow star at all times to show that they are Jews and separate them and discriminate them, is that where we are going again. Have we not learned anything from our history? I just think that this new law is going to create chaos. Not only will Arizona lose people, businesses, but other states are going to get overpopulated, like California. I think that this new law should be taken away, because not only is it racist, and discriminating people, it’s inhumane!!

Anti- bias rules

Everyone at public colleges should be forced to follow anti-bias rules, especially when the students form their own club. Take for instance this law suit, the Christian group sued the school because they want to set up their own rules, restrict membership to people because of their beliefs and the school did not want to give it to them. The school is paying for these clubs, and for them to exclude and discriminate gays, and those who don’t share its core beliefs, is just not right. I think that this is just unfair, and ridiculous for them to exclude and discriminate, these anti-bias rules are set up for a good reason, to not discriminate. All clubs and everyone should follow these anti-bias rules, because in the end the victim is not the Christian group, by not getting what they ask for, but the people that get discriminated for who they are.
