arguments over SB 1070

I believe there are negative and positive aspects to SB 1070. Therefore leaving me undecided about the whole situation. Having this law go into effect might bring racial profiling, and cause people to be angry that they would be seen as if they were some sort of suspected criminal. Having many businesses relying on illegal immigrant labor or customers, shrinking the immigrant population will interfere with the businesses in general which was stated in “Will SB 1070 help or hurt economy”. “ The businesses could grow more slowly, and consumers could face higher prices for some goods“ (Hanson, 2010).Seems that having this law pass it would affect the economy greatly, since we depend on illegal immigrant workers greatly. Having the spending of public and private schools be in loss. . “Latinos...are a highly flexible, highly exploitable work force, a buffer to economic downturns,” he says. “Many of the industries here – agriculture, service industries, low-end manufacturing, construction – are massively dependent on undocumented workers (Haq, 2010). We rely on immigrants to do certain jobs such as farming, and they help us produce any products. Sending them back can also mean we are separating families and friends.

There are also reasonable arguments in which support the SB 1070. Having many illegal immigrants can leave us over populated. Which would cause difficulties to find jobs, since they would take the jobs of many. There could be the fear of them smuggling in drugs into the U.S, or bringing in new infection scares. And for the argument over whether they will pursue racial profiling they set a fair solution. "If the law, for whatever reason, happened to go into effect," the attorney general said, then "six months from now, a year from now, we might ... look at the impact the law has had and ... see whether or not there has been that racial profiling impact (Sheridan, 2010). And if so they set racial profiling they can do something to solve that problem. People also fear the thought of having enemies cross over easily, because of the poorly secured borders. “So many people are willing to give a portion of their money to defend Arizona, against the dangers of illegal immigration (Gibson, 2010). Which brings them to gather and give some of their money, going to the process of building a better and reliable border. "We feel very, very confident that we stand on good ground," she said last week. Which also leaving so to give this law a chance and hope that it comes out for the best. Gov. Jan Brewer saying, "We will push forward, and believe from our heart that it is constitutional and is the right thing to do."
