Arizona Sb1070

The Arizona state legislature passed into law S.B 1070, which was intended to address issues related to illegal aliens in the state. The law made it a crime for illegal aliens to be in Arizona, without legal documents, it also authorized local and state law enforcement to enforce federal laws and prohibited the hiring, sheltering and transportation of illegal aliens. The legislation initiated constitutional concerns over violation of civil rights and was considered as encouraging racial profiling. There were also demonstrations against the legalization. The department of justice sough to stop

This law was sending a very strong message to all of the illegal aliens living in Arizona. The SB-1070 was written deliberately with aggressive measures intended to promote to the estimated 460,000 illegal aliens to go home (About, 2011). The issue with some parts of the bill was that it was racially profiling, and it promoted discrimination against mainly immigrants. The federal judge also stopped the section of the law that made it a crime for any for any foreign resident living in the state of Arizona to carry immigration paperwork at all times. In addition, the judge also stopped the part where it would make it a crime for any illegal or foreign resident living in the state of Arizona to solicit, perform, or apply for work. This gave illegal aliens living in state of Arizona a big relief to know that those main parts of the bill were stopped, giving them the advantage to continue to move forward with their lives instead of worrying about getting deported.

Currently, one of most debated policy issues in America is immigration. Starting with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the American government created several immigration laws that sought to put an end to illegal immigration by mandating workplace regulations, employer sanctions, internal enforcement mechanisms, and border security (Nowrasteh 2). According to immigration policy analyst Alexander Nowrasteh at the Center of Global Liberty and Prosperity of the Cato Institute, by the 1990s, legal immigration was essentially impossible to the United States unless the immigrant was highly skilled, had a close American citizen or legal permanent resident relative or friend who could sponsor him or her, or was a refugee. The Arizona immigration laws should be repealed due to damage done to the state’s economy, the benefits of immigrants to the American economic structure, and the societal harm imposed upon citizens.

The state of Arizona has issued a new state law which enables police officers to act as immigration officers. With this underestimated powers given to the police, it will cause a lot of problems, and sensitivities to all the legal and illegal immigrants (Cnn.com). Undocumented students residing Arizona will be in a constant fear of being deported since any minor issue such as calling the police for help in any case given can put their lives in the danger of deportation. It’s only a matter of time if the government doesn’t stop this act, Arizona will impose unfair laws for education toward undocumented students. This will only cause chaos, and taking away the validity of the American Dream.

The Arizona SB 1070 is a law that requires all aliens over the age of 14 who remain in the united states for longer than 30 days to register with the US government, and to have registration documents in their possession at all times. The Arizona law also made it illegal to be in the state of Arizona without the required documents. Some people don't agree with law they say that there is too many people that can't get the legal documents they need. Then there are some people that say the Arizona law is a good law to follow. Such as the law provides more security to the surrounding environment. In my opinion the Arizona state law is a good law to live and follow by for many different reasons.

As Franklin D. Roosevelt said “Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.”As much as people try twisting the president 's words, president Roosevelt meant that this country was founded by immigrants, and therefore we should be accepting. 11.5 million can stand for many things but, in this case according to Pew Research Centers 11.5 million is the number of illegal immigrants that live in the United States as of 2013.One thing that everyone know’s is that Arizona is the number 1 state in the United States that has the most immigration problems. Arizona 's anti-immigrant law, S.B. 1070, Lets Police ask the immigration status of anyone arrested or detained if they suspect that the person is not in the U.S. legally. with this new SB 1070 law it makes it so it is a crime to be caught without papers in the state of Arizona. The state of Arizona should abolish the SB1070 law.

The State of Arizona is a gripping documentary that outlines the struggles that Arizona went through in dealing with illegal immigration. This saga follows the controversial SB1070 immigration law through the voices and lives of individuals who were on both sides of the coin. The flawed immigration system in the United States caused a ripple effect that hit Arizona hard and led to the tripling of the undocumented population in Arizona. This caused hatred towards the undocumented population due to fears of crime related to Mexican drug rings and competition for jobs. The federal government did not act on these immigration issues and this forced the state of Arizona to pass a series of legislatures that would restrict and control the rights

Despite the name, The Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhood Act ironically increases minorities’ fear of discrimination. As a result, many people question the constitutionality of the law. States laws like SB 1070 infringe on basic constitutional rights such as potential violation of the fourteenth amendment. In fact, these laws violate the Supremacy Clause, which states that federal law, treaties, and the Constitution are supreme law of the land, thus “allow[ing] discrimination against a discrete and insular minority or infringe on a fundamental right in violation of the Constitution” (Gilbert 201). Therefore, this law violates the fourteenth amendment because it deprives citizens of equal protection under the law. Additionally,

Arizona made it tougher for undocumented citizen by making a federal law called the Arizona Senate Bill 1070. “The controversial bill gives Arizona law enforcement the authority to stop people whom officers have "reasonable suspicion" of being in the country illegally, detain these individuals while verifying immigration status, and arrest undocumented immigrants for transfer to ICE custody.” (McFadyen) The article also states “The bill, also known as the "Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act" also makes it a crime to be in the state illegally and to provide transportation to someone you know is undocumented.” (McFadyen) With that said, it seems to me, it gives the police in Arizona authority to stop anyone they feel like. It also touches on the subject of racial profiling and discrimination just by the way a person looks making it ok to stop them. Furthermore, by making this bill it says that it is ok to look at someone and judge them for what they look like.

Obviously there always is deep rooted racial problem in this country. It occurs every day, in cities and towns across the country, when law enforcement target minority ethnic group especially African Americans and Latinos. It is illegal and a clear violation of the rule of law.

Arizona Immigration Law, also known as S.B. 1070, is a law that requires officials and agencies in the state of Arizona to comply with and assist with the enforcement of the federal immigration laws. The law also gives the county attorneys power in certain investigations of employers. The law took effect on July 29, 2010. The law’s intent is to prevent illegal immigration, and although the law says nothing about deportation, it does impact civil rights of the citizens affected. Constitutional law, and

Between May 29th, 2010 to October 31st, 2010, the data had shown that illegal immigrants or anyone who looked the part, was being racial profiling. Anyone who looked the part of an undocumented person was getting treated differently, as if the state of Arizona went back in time to the civil right movement of 1960’s, where the bystanders were judging by the color of skin. The Arizona law requires law enforcement to question the immigration status of a person, who was stopped because of reasonable suspicion of being in the United States illegally, which the protesters would argue that is discrimination. The people of Arizona becoming more frighten toward Hispanics, as if they were straight out of a horror movie, and was influenced by the Republicans

Illegal immigration is the hot button this election year in Arizona. As the fight to pass new law rages on, other states are watching and eager to follow suit. The focus is on federal laws already in effect and how state and local officials should have the ability to enforce these laws. Arizona strives to make illegal immigration a crime vs. a violation. Parts blocked by Judge Bolton include making it a crime to be without proof of citizenship, and it would also be a crime for an illegal immigrant to apply for or accept work. Passed into law are tougher sanctions on employers who hire illegal immigrants. Many Arizonians are in favor of reducing the illegal population but the question remains what is in the best interest of American society. Tougher sanctions on employers are necessary to stop the overflow of illegal immigrants crossing the borders. In passing this new legislation it makes it unnecessary for Arizona to make it a crime for illegal immigrants to apply for and accept work. It is reasonable to enforce federal law requiring legal aliens to carry documentation; however it does not need to be elevated to a criminal offense.

An argument was raised that this proposition will only put California into fiscal crisis and that it would only promote an unfunded accountability to our state. Opponents were concerned that the money spent on this proposition will only led to corruption practices like the drug enforcement that we've seen before.

Adam Weinstein shares with us his disagreement of two Arizona laws that were effective as of April 2010. One of the laws allows police officers to prove ‘their Americanness’, otherwise known as, your legal status or your proof of citizenship. Weinstein continues on and compares these laws to ‘Nazi Germany’ as he feels they are way too harsh. It does not end there. Weinstein also shares his disagreements on the second law. This law allows legal residents, of 21 years or older, to publicly carry a concealed weapon. He believes that without permits, these people are now uneducated on the numerous accidents that could happen.
