Tell us how you REALLY feel: Arizona Immigration Law

Hi all, I hope you're having a beautiful weekend thus far. Further, I hope the fact that you're sitting here reading this is not indicative of the fact that there seems to be nothing to do in your city. Nevertheless, here's the scoop. On Friday, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the state's immigration bill into law.The law orders immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there's reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally. It also targets those who hire illegal immigrant laborers or knowingly transport them.

Critics, including immigrant advocates and the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, say they are concerned the law will foster racial profiling, arguing that most police officers don't have enough training to look past race while investigating a person's legal status.


The last immigration reform efforts in Congress were in 2005 when Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, and the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, Brown's predecessor, introduced a bipartisan bill that aimed to implement guest-worker programs and ways for more illegal immigrants to become citizens.
