Arizona's Illegal Immigration Laws

In a recent article in Fox News, it talks about how Arizona has proposed a bill that will impose some of the toughest immigration laws that this country has seen. Governor Brewer stated that “it would give police in the state broad new powers to arrest and charge people suspected of being in the country illegally”. Some say that this law will bring too much racial profiling to the state and say that the law is completely unconstitutional. The article goes on to talk about some of the provisions of the bill and how these provisions will be detrimental to the state. Sen. Russel Pearce denied claims that the bill will “lead to arbitrary profiling and said the bill is needed to help Arizona deal with rampant crime” and he told Fox News that, "Arizona has become ground zero. We're number two in the world in kidnapping. ... We're not taking it anymore. We're going to enforce our laws, with compassion.” Personally I am for this bull and think that this is law is not unconstitutional at all!! It’s a slap in our constitutions face to allow illegal immigrants reside in our country. The simple fact is, if your of Mexican heritage and have nothing to hide then you should be more than willing to prove your citizenship, but if your not a citizen then you need to be brought to justice. If we keep allowing the illegal immigration situation to escalate, then eventually this drug war in Mexico will be a problem for many southwestern states, and if the government isn’t willing to support a law that enforces stricter border control and harsher punishment for illegal immigration then the southwestern states are in trouble.
