SB1070
SB1070 is a law in Arizona basically allowing authorities to pull over and arrest anybody "suspicious" looking; especially immigrants. To me this law just sounds like an easy method for the police to racially profile people. I find this law to be very unjust i understand that you want to keep your state safe and well regulated but to pull over just any innocent person for no real reason other than YOU feel feel that they are causing a threat or just dont belong in there isnt fair. The law states that all people must carry around their travel documents ( ie passports, visas, ID, etc) at all times in case pulled over. But what if you have a resident of Arizona just driving around and they happen to forget their documents? What happens to them? I also feel that what are these authorities even classifying as immigrants? Because there are alot of people that are not from Arizona but are from this country and also since we have such a diverse country we are filled with people who look different from what some may consider "typical"american. Therefore i feel this law needs better rues and reasons behind it and needs to be better regulated.

yup its ridiculous that they make you have to have documentation on you at all times, driving a car or something alright fine, but even just going for a walk if you get stopped and don't have papers you can be arrested.
ReplyDeleteYeah what a free country this is!! This law gives the power to people to discriminate and be unfair to others. In what kinda world do they expect will be leaving in if we have this kind of ridiculous laws! What are we teaching children? To what, be races to others that don't look like you! makes no sense and it is very upsetting.
