Phoenix, Arizona (CNN) -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed a bill Friday that requires police in her state to determine whether a person is in the United States legally, which critics say will foster racial profiling but supporters say will crack down on illegal immigration. The bill requires immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there is reason to suspect that they're in the United States illegally. It also targets those who hire illegal immigrant day laborers or knowingly transport them. www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/04/23/obama.immigration/index.html?section=cnn_latest |

"Reason to suspect" = cops will be issued color charts.

If I had any money I'd bet that someone somewhere will eventually try and take this to the Supreme Court. It's racial profiling, plain and simple.

It's racist, discriminatory and most likely illegal.

This is good and bad..
Bad because as someone said it's profiling and border line harrassment..
Good because we are losing jobs at is, those looking for work and need to support families can't beat a guy who will do twice the amount of work at a cheaper rate of pay..

This is good and bad.. Bad because as someone said it's profiling and border line harrassment.. Good because we are losing jobs at is, those looking for work and need to support families can't beat a guy who will do twice the amount of work at a cheaper rate of pay.. Myth: Illegal Immigrants Are Taking Jobs Away From Americans. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there was 7.1 unemployed Americans in July or an unemployment rate of 4.6%. Full employment, if it could be attained, might mean a reduction in the unemployment rate to 3-4% before rising labor costs drove the jobs overseas; but, more than likely we're as close as we're getting to Full Employment while we are willing to compete with third-world labor rates. It is estimated that there are over 7 million illegal immigrants holding jobs in the U.S. Many of those workers work in low skill, low wage jobs that many Americans do not want. When you look at unemployment by the sectors of the economy where illegal immigrants can be found (construction, agriculture, Non-Durable Goods, Hospitality), there's less than 2 million unemployed Americans. Now, before you say that those 2 million people lost their jobs to illegal immigrants, consider this bit of analysis: More than a third of illegal immigrants live in just three cities: New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. But even in these places, economists believe there is minimal impact on wages. That's because many Americans from other parts of the country choose not to move to areas with large numbers of immigrants, because they want to avoid competing for jobs. apathy.net/stories/illegal_immigration_myths_and_facts |

Well something needs to be done about all these illegal immigrants. I agree. That's why I'm for the bill. Well, partially. I just wish there was a better way to regulate such without profiling. I mean the immigants have no rights I don't think, so ot wouldn't be harassment to nab them up. But there's obviously gonna be cases where they're wrong. |
