My colleague, Johnny Albarran, has several good points on his feelings towards the Arizona immigration law that has recently been established. This law requires all immigrants to carry their alien registration papers at all times, because law enforcement can question anyone they suspect to be in the United States illegally.
First, I believe he is right about how this law increases the risk for law enforcement officials to suspect people of being here illegally based on appearance, that's just wrong. It is also a waste of time for law enforcement to harass the public since authorities are not adequately trained to suspect people beyond appearance.
My colleague also mentioned that the law also targets the employers of illegal immigrants. I think this is a good idea because employers should not be hiring illegally to save money on labor, and if there are less employers hiring illegal immigrants, then there could be less people immigrating illegally. Johnny believes that law enforcement should focus on preventing further immigration rather producing suspicions on those who already reside here, and I strongly agree with him on this idea.
Johnny Albarran has a good argument against the risk of racial profiling that can occur through the enforcement of this law that has caused much controversy, and other states that are concerned with illegal immigration should carefully implement a better approach to resolve illegal immigration issues than Arizona legislation.
