Arizona's law does nothing but encourage discrimination, racism & racial profiling - the bottom line is its overly broad & unconstitutional.

As an attorney, which section or page number of the 1077 bill violates which part of the consititution?
Also while you are at it, which section or page number of 1077 encourages discrimination, racism and racial profiling? Can you tell me one country that doesn't give their law enforcement the power to ask a person for ID to see who they are and if they are allowed to be in that place legally?

The "but" in your sentence contradicts the first part and the second part of your sentence. You can't control borders and ensure documented aliens while allowing illegals of any race to continue to roam about the country. The U.S. is a country of immigrants. That doesn't negate the law of being a soveign nation by letting whomever come in as they please.

Really? We have forgotten?
You really have no clue.
I'm sick and tired of people telling us how selfish the U.S. and unwilling to share and that we need to sacrifice more. We have done more for the world now and throughout history in humanitarian aid and immigration to our nation than any other nation on the planet.

The human condition is universal. This isn't just about racism or racial profiling, but about selfishly seeking to keep what's ours, ours, & away from the "others."

yes... yes...Humans, Americans, like all countries that don't allow illegal immigration and keep their borders tightly secured and ask for ID, are selfishly keeping there soveriegn land, economy etc. to theirselves.
There is a serious issue on our south west border. America is not an anti-immigrant nation; quite the opposite. But the law, like any other country must be upheld, to secure our borders. The laws are there for a reason. If those laws are violated, then you see the decay of a nation slowly but surely: Economically and Criminally.
Illegals can range from Chinese, to Mexican, to Austrailian, to any race of group.
There is a federal law to do the same thing Arizona is having to do locally. The law doesn't differ at all from the federal law; there just isn't enough federal law enforcement to do the job now. Arizona had to take action. I sleep well know that this bill isn't going anywhere.
