my opinion on some immigration laws

Not only are immigrants not permitted to have a job but they are also mistreated and with that new Arizona law it’s a discrimination against every person that looks Hispanic not just the illegal immigrants. In Arizona they passed the new law allowing the police to stop any person that looks Hispanic and forcing them to show them their visa or passport or something proving they are legally in the United States. I believe it’s just harassing people, no one should have the right to stop you just because of how you look. Not only should they not stop you but then put you in the spot of having to prove you are legal. If someone doesn’t have some kind of proof that they are legal they can be taken until they prove it. Not everyone is randomly going to be walking around with their passport or whatever papers they need to prove they are legal. If they carry those kinds of documents and they get their papers stolen what is going to happen until they can get new copies. They would be back to not having any kind of proof and people can’t stay locked up just because of a new law. How are they going to go out and work to provide for their family? The Arizona law is just addressed to Hispanics that is another part of the law that is not fair. Illegal immigrants are not just Hispanics there are a lot of different races not just illegal Hispanics. If there is a law that’s passed and it’s not fair well at least let’s make it even against all races not just against one specific race.  I believe that is just discrimination. Immigration is something that has been happening for ever. There have always been laws about immigration but they are always making new ones, new ones that are not always fair according to some people. I believe some of the immigration laws are something fair but some are just ridiculous. I believe they are not fair once the laws start separating families and hurting innocent people, especially innocent children that don’t even have an idea of what is going on around them. Unfair laws like this are the things that have helped me make my choice of becoming an immigration lawyer i believe everyone should have equal rights or at least fair laws that help them have rights.
