Many believe the law shows discrimination. Public officials say the border is very dangerous, and the illegal immigrations have brought more crime, drugs, and kidnapings into the states. They believe the federal government isn't doing its job in keeping the border safe, so they believe the states need to intervene.I understand why many are angry with the law and how it seems that they are racial profiling, but we need to protect ourselves from the Mexican drug cartel. I agree with Bianca, where they should just improve the border patrol, instead of laws like the SB 1070. Also, I do believe that the law may be misused and/or misunderstood. It's disappointing to know those who have fully earned the right to live in this country, are being mistaken as a criminal. If the border patrol had been stricter, than we would possibly have less crime than we would with illegal immigrants. The border needs to be tighter than it is now, so we can protect those in the borderline states and those who will endanger our country.

Comments on the Immigration Law
Bianca Tamez's blog post discusses the immigration law in Arizona, the SB 1070. The law was established in 2010. The SB 1070 allows police officials to stop someone and ask for identification; they stop them if they believe they don't belong here legally. This has led to a controversial issue not only in Arizona but around the U.S. In the past years Texas, California, and Colorado have also tried to pass bills similar to the SB 1070, but failed.
