Using specific evidence to support your arguments, are you for or against Arizona SB 1070?
SB 1070 has become one of the Medias hot topics this year. Many people are for and others against it based on many different factors. Personally, I believe that this law is unconstitutional and implies racial profiling. Yeah, this bill allows police officers to pull over a driver for an actual reason and then ask for their documents but, are all the officers doing so with that exception? To me it seems that Hispanics are the one ethnic group that is being triggered the most. I don’t see why Arizona doesn’t put immigrants from other countries in mind as much as them. If they want to get rid of them they can just enforce their borders if they are scared of people snuggling weapons and other threats. Also, why would Arizona want to get rid of immigrants if that’s were a lot of their profits and gains have come from?
The only reason I see it would be okay to pass this law is because of how tax payers would be able to save way more money for education if illegal immigrants left with their children. This would hurt those businesses that rely on illegal-immigrant labor or customers though. In 2008, they made a study that without Illegal immigrants our economy would get reduced by $245 billon and lose 2.8 million jobs. In this case, it’s kind of a win-lose situation. You have to lose some to win some. Even after this discussion, I am not sure if it should be passed or not; there is some benefits as well as negative aspects to it.
