This article deals with the immigration law that was passed in Arizona. Some think the law is a violation of civil rights, and that racial profiling could become a problem and cause disputes between different communitites and law enforcement. Attorney General in Washington is considering suing arizona law makers because of the immigration law that presents cause for any law enforcement officer to demand legal documents of any person they may feel is in the United States illegally. One thing already done, they said the person in question had to be pulled over or arrested on another issue before providing proof of legal US residency. In addition, Obama proposed a comprehensive immigration reform that would help secure borders, make illegal immigrants pay taxes they owe from being in America, and learn english because if you come into our country you should abide by our laws as well.
Civil Rights are guaranteed to all US citizens. The Arizona immigration law is a dangerous gateway to future civil rights problems based on racial discrimination. From what we have learned in government, these rights are not able to be infringed upon by the government which is what may happen if this law is not dealt with further.
