An immigrant-rights group has released a report, predicting that 25 states may try next year to pass anti-illegal-immigration laws similar to Arizona's controversial legislation. The number of states considering legislation modeled after SB1070, the bill that Arizona GOP Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law this spring. Georgia, Mississippi, Oklahoma and South Carolina are most likely to pass a similar law next year.
There were reports that from 2006 to 2008, municipalities passed a host of local laws and statutes cracking down on employers hiring illegal immigrants. This next wave of legislation, the report says, will be aimed at getting local law enforcement to check immigration status in routine police stops, as SB1070 mandates.
I don't know if this is because I'm not exposed to illegal immigration enough, but I don't see a big problem with immigrants. Remember that our constitution says that all men are equal, well, lets stop calling these people aliens and test their will. If someone really wants to be in this country why not give them a test of citzenship, and if they don't pass; they get deported. Yet, there was a time when America was a land of opportunity and promise, and this land was founded by immigrants now we're trying to keep them out.
