SB1070

I think Arizona's Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act will have both positive and negative effects. On one hand it may persuade illegal immigrants to attempt to get proper documentation and go through the process of becoming naturalized, as opposed to hanging out as illegal aliens since it obviously can be done. On the other hand it seems absurd to me that law enforcement have the authority to arrest a person for not having proper documentation on them after being stopped. Depending on the officer this power can be used beneficially or abused, but I'd rather not leave that to chance. Clearly Arizona has a perceived problem with illegal immigrants, otherwise this bill wouldn't have passed. Only time will tell how it affects immigration in Az.

  1. If getting proper documentation was so easy and available for this people then trust me this people would not be here illegally. Most of the illegal immigrants who cross the border, illegally of course, go through horrible situations and many cases many lose there lives, love ones, get raped, kidnap, and other worse things. I know many people who left there country for a better life in this country and have not seen there parents and love once for many years sense then because taking that big risk of crossing the border is just THAT BAD! For many years now many and even almost every illegal immigrant has wish and fought for proper documentation.
