Arizona Immigration Law

I think many people who disapprove of the new enforcing of the Federal law really get caught up in the emotion of the debate. I think the vast majority of society want immigrants to come to our wonderful country. However, not illegally! What this law does is actually enforce the federal law. If you don't believe me, read both laws. As far as the profiling, the cops can only ask for their papers of citizenship if they are already in contact with them because of illegal activity. So this severely reduces the chances for profiling.

The real blame should go to the federal government. This includes the Bush Administration and the Obama Administration. Neither have spent much time focusing on eliminating the chance for illegals to get into our country.

As it stands now, over 55 percent of the country want their state to enforce this law the way Arizona has. In addition, the Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has seen a huge spike in her approval ratings.

Let's take the emotion out of the debate and start trying to fix the problem. Those who disagree with this law need to stop calling those who favor it bigots. It's getting old, this rhetoric!
