Arizona Immigration Law sb1070 Now Signed

0 comments

The Arizona sb1070 has finally been signed into a law and is now in action in Arizona. According to the law no immigrant would be allowed to wander around in the Arizona State without his/her documents and police reserves the right to investigate and question anyone they find suspicious.
According to the governor of Arizona this law has been signed because the drug wars in Mexico were becoming a big problem because the Mexican disputes were advancing very close to the Arizona border. Due to this there were many Mexicans and people from other races who were crossing the border illegally and hiding in Arizona.
A lot of other states are not happy about the signing of the law and are forcefully opposing this law because it violates the rights of the immigrants. According to democrats and liberals this law creates racism and that is not something that the United States promotes. Even President Obama is against this law and expresses his opposition by saying that the state was misguided and is now being unfair to the immigrants.
The rest of the states have started boycotting Arizona as an act of protest, though the seriousness of the boycott is still to be known. There have been many calls to boycott Arizona and it seems if the law is not revoked things may look pretty bad for Arizona.
Even the Attorney General is against the law and expects a legislative action against the immigration law within 90 days. Many celebrities have also raised voice against this law. Those celebrities include Jenifer Lopez.
