Be Prepared to Show Your Papers to Prove Your Status in Arizona

If you're in or anywhere near the state of Arizona, you had better be prepared to show your papers to prove your status in the state of Arizona.

Arizona

Governor Jan Brewer, of Arizona, made it illegal, in Arizona, to not carry papers with you that prove, that you have the right to be on U.S. soil.

United States Of America

I see this law as a major setback for the United States of America and I don't think that it does anything to help with immigration reform.

Freedom

We live in a country that was founded by immigrants and part of what makes this country great is the fact that there is freedom in this country; freedom of expression, freedom of choice, freedom of thought etc.

I'm An Illegal Immigrant

The things that make this law look stupid are the fact that you cannot tell who is an illegal immigrant and who is not, just by looking at them. This law assumes that people walk around with signs around their neck that say," I'm an illegal immigrant."

Discrimination

This law opens up the door to discrimination against many ethnic groups by law enforcement. The look of an American citizen comes in all colors, shapes, and sizes. It is impossible to tell if a person has a right to be on U.S. soil by just looking at them.

Languages

Many people in America, who are U.S. citizens, have the ability to speak multiple languages, besides English.

Law Enforcement

This law in Arizona, will not only be an additional burden on law enforcement, it will be an additional drain on resources in the court system as well; further crowding this countries prisons with unnecessary burdens which will, ultimately cost the tax payer more money.

Ashamed To Be An American

As if this country doesn't already have enough laws to enforce, one more stupid law like this, which actually makes things worse, makes me ashamed to be an American.
