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!!

Wow Miriam I Agree with what you have said. I think that you make a very strong point when you talk about this.
ReplyDeleteDiscrimination and racism are the things we, immigrants cannot control although protected by the fourth and fourteenth amendments.Yeah you are right, it is to Arizona's disadvantage that they will lose businesses and workers.And I think that we will all be dealing with this immigration issue more in the future concerning overpopulation.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Rebecca said about Arizona since they have passed this law there states economy could get even worse becuase they are going to loose a lot of population and business...
ReplyDeleteI hope that this law gets overturned because it is not right! They say that something needs to be done, but this is far from fixing the problem! They are trying to take the easy way out and pull over every Mexican or "brown skinned" person they see because they don't know what to do else to do about the immigration problem, but it's being unfairly targeted at ONE race!
ReplyDeleteI understand your point of the argument completely and it is unfair that people are being targeted. Racial profiling is unacceptable and I feel that is you are an American citizen or not, your in American and everyone should be treated equally. There needs to be a middle point with this law.
