aw enforcement to demand proof of immigration status from anyone whom they have reasonable suspicion to believe is unauthorized. This law also criminalizes actions such as (a) living in Arizona without lawful immigration status, (b) failing to carry immigration documentation, and (c) transporting or housing and unauthorized individual (Detention Watch Network, 2010). Under the law S. B. 1070, undocumented immigrants may be given a misdemeanor charge for trespassing, a penalty that includes a mandatory prison sentence of 20 days, obligation to pay jail fees, and deportation (Miller, 2010).
According to Miller (2010), “the stage was set for S. B. 1070 in 2005,when the Department of Homeland Security launched Operation Streamline, a federal immigration-

B.) 56, a law as controversial as Arizona’s S. B. 1070. The United States Department of Justice posted a news briefing on their website describing the Alabama H. B. 56 immigration law. Their posting stated
Alabama’s law is designed to affect virtually every aspect of an unauthorized immigrant’s daily life, from employment to housing to transportation to entering into and enforcing contracts to going to school. H. B. 56 further criminalizes mere unlawful presence and, like Arizona’s law, expands the opportunities for Alabama police to push aliens toward incarceration for various new immigration crimes by enforcing an immigration status verification system (United States Department of Justice,

This occurred a few days after a Federal District Court Judge made a decision that allowed most of this new law’s provisions to go into effect. Under the new 11th Circuit ruling, some of the provisions of H. B. 56 that are still in effect include Section 12: requires local law enforcement to request verification of immigration status if reasonable suspicion that person is undocumented, Section 18: requires law enforcement to request verification of immigration status from persons arrested for driving without a license, Section 27: invalidates contracts entered into when one individual knows the other is undocumented, and Section 30: makes it a felony for undocumented immigrants to conduct a business transaction with the state including applying for a driver’s license (“Despite Department of Justice's Relentless Attack,” 2011). Other provisions of the H.B. 56 have been temporarily blocked. These include Section 10: states that undocumented individuals who do not comply with federal registration laws may be charged with a misdemeanor, and Section 28: requires public schools to gather information regarding students’ immigration status and submit this data to the state (“Despite Department of Justice's Relentless Attack,”
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.
“Senate Bill 4 is a piece of legislation that Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed in May and it aims to ban “sanctuary cities” by requiring sheriffs, constables, police chiefs and other local leaders to cooperate with federal immigration authorities and allows police to ask about the immigration status of individuals they lawfully detain” (Alvarez). The consequences for sheriffs, constables, police chiefs and other local leaders if they do not follow the legislation are that they could face Class A misdemeanor and possibly jail time (Mansoor & Pollock). “In addition, they can could face civil penalties ranging from $1,000 to $1,500 for the first violation and $25,000 to 25,500 for consecutive offenses” (Alvarez). Many people are against Senate
Ever since Arizona passed its tough immigration law penalizing undocumented immigrants, other states have been considering similar laws. In the year 2011, Utah State passed an immigration law like HB 116. The law HB 116 establishes a guest worker program with the department of public safety (DPS) and took effect in July, 2013.The program creates two types of permits – A guest worker permit and an immediate family permit. These permit has a state limit and cannot be used outside the state and the person using this will not be granted unemployment. Before applying an individual have to pay a fine. For getting a permit, immigrant must meet with certain requirements example meets a certain age; worked or have live before May, 2011; provides contact information; not committed any felonies; has a contract for employment; holds a driving privilege card or agrees not to drive; has a basic health care plan or has no medical debt. They require that the permit holder
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.
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.
The Arizona SB1070 required police officers to demands the papers of any individual suspected of being illegally in the country. This law was considered unconstitutional and promoted racial profiling. Similarly, the legislation frightened illegal aliens preventing them from reporting crimes and participating in investigations, which affects the public safety instead of solving the border security issue.
Senate Bill 1070, also known as the “Support our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act”, is a piece of legislation that originated in early 2010 which gives the police the permission to check immigration status when enforcing other laws. The intentions of SB1070 is to cut down on the illegal immigrants in Arizona by having immigrants carry immigration papers, or will be held until proven their status in the USA. However, this senate bill has caused a lot of controversies on the issues on racial profiling and unconstitutional acts have put the federal law into question of their actions. The issues of SB1070 have also gained my interest into learning about the both sides of SB1070 and does it affect our views of the American government
The summer of 2010 was proven to be an especially historic one for immigration policy in the United States. In late spring 2010, Arizona passed Senate Bill 10701 —an extraordinary law that reflects and has provoked intense reactions by political leaders, commentators, and the public. The bill raises critical issues of race, security, sovereignty, civil rights, state power, and foreign relations. Such issues encompass larger debates about modern immigration law and policy, and are worthy of sustained public commentary and scholarly discourse. The impact of S.B. 1070 on the criminal justice system of Arizona—the duties and powers of Arizona law enforcement and prosecutorial authorities, and the relationship of the state legislation to federal
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.
Many people recognize the pyramids of Egypt as some of the greatest treasures of the old world. But most people don't wonder where the ancient Egyptians got the idea from. There were many cultures and civilizations before Egypt that could've influenced the idea of massive pyramids, but most think that one civilization in particular, the Sumerians, had the most influence on the pyramids that stand today, because of their pyramid like ziggurats. The Egyptians probably did base the pyramids off of the Sumerian ziggurats, because they had the same basic structure, the ancient Sumerians had lots of influence on Egypt at the time, and they both displayed the same symbols and meanings for their people.
It is clear that illegal immigration has gotten out of control and constringent measures need to be taken to protect the United States borders. The local Government of Arizona recently decided to take control of the situation, by passing the “Support our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act” {House Bill 2162}. This bill gives law enforcement officers and agencies the authority, to lawfully stop, detain and arrest anyone who appears to look like an illegal alien. The bill out-right condones racial profiling and it violates civil rights, as well!
In every state across the US, there are state based groups dedicated to advocating for civil, human and migrant rights. Arizona Coalition for Migrant Rights is a statewide coalition that brings together a community constituting migrants, local communities and civil, human, labor and religious groups. The organization is at the forefront of supporting just application of immigrant laws and policy along with expanding the individual and communal rights of migrants and their families. The Arizona Coalition for Migrant Rights also educates the local communities on various issues that affect them such as social change and advanced immigration reform.
This is a “controversial immigration bill authorizing police officers to stop suspected illegal immigrants and demand proof of citizenship” (The Huffington Post). This is giving the police too much authority and can lead to many other problems such as discrimination against Hispanics.
British imperialism affected Trinidad in a negative way. When the British took over Trinidad, slavery began. When slavery was brought to Trinidad, it caused the people of Trinidad to become depressed along with the rest of the world. When the British decided to join the colonies Trinidad and Tobago, Trinidad’s sugar economy started to collapse.With the collapse of the economy and commodity prices rising, workers started to riot in Trinidad. Together these made the people and the colony of Trinidad difficult to work and live.
When managing an organization and making decision, it is important to develop leadership skills. Leadership is multi-faceted and there are many different approaches that are used in leadership. What is leadership? Leadership is the ability to influence a group toward the achievement of a vision or a set of goals. (Robbins & Judge p. 385) Leaders are those who have the influence to motivate people to take a vision and put it into action. Often, people in management have assumed positions of leadership, meaning because of the nature of their position, they will have to make leadership decisions and influence those they lead toward a goal or vision.
