New Arizona Immigration Law 2010 Creates Revolution-Like Attitudes.  A new immigration law in Arizona has created almost Revolutionary attitudes and atmospheres.  Many Hispanic immigrants and many equal rights activists are outraged over the recent legislation requiring immigrants to prove their status during an investigation.

Some fear that the new legislation will encourage racial profiling, although law enforcement is only able to ask for verification of status during an investigation. They cannot just go up to someone and ask to see their green card.

Those who know current federal immigration laws are quick to point out that those with a Green Card are supposed to have it on their person at all times; they note that Arizona’s law is only there to enforce current federal laws.

Still yet, Phoenix is getting torn apart as those who oppose the recent legislation are vandalizing sidewalks and buildings with messages such as “burn this racist city.”  In addition, some individuals are using refried beans to draw swastikas in windows.

Those in the international community warn that if the rest of America follows Arizona’s suit, it could hurt international relations and make people leery of traveling or doing business with the US.

In addition, some have called for boycotts of Arizona and more.

The new Arizona immigration law, unemployment situation, and the overall political climate across the US is causing increasing outrage.  As anger rises and people get tired of the way things are going we can expect to see more and more protests.

It will be interesting to see what transpires from the new immigration law.  If deemed unconstitutional it could be thrown out.  Still yet, the heated debates and angry feelings will rage on.
