U.S. President Barack Obama
U.S. President Barack Obama, has denounced the state of Arizona's new immigration law, which contains text that permits officials to summarily demand a person's papers and I.D. anytime or place they choose, to confirm they are U.S. citizens or lawful residents. And Obama would know, as based on popular belief, he is reportedly an immigrant too.
Said law resembles former Nazi tactics that saw authorities feverishly searching for innocent Jews to persecute and prosecute, solely for being Jewish. Immigrants are not the problem. Many immigrants do jobs most Americans do not want to do, especially farm work.
Hispanics in Arizona, are going to be subjected to offensive searches, without warrant, in violation of the Fourth Amendment, based on this new law. Not every immigrant is an illegal and individuals lawfully in America shall have their Constitutional rights violated, when the authorities racially profile them and spontaneously initiate a search of the person, demanding documents. Irrespective of this fact, the Constitution is the law of the land and should not be violated on American soil.
If all the illegal immigrants disappeared from America, the U.S. economy would face a catastrophic collapse, that would hit the food and construction industries the hardest.
Furthermore, based on studies that have been conducted and data that has been released, many illegal and legal immigrants have been leaving America voluntarily over the past few years, returning to their homelands.
