So, in Arizona, they are wanting to pass a new law. This law is that you can be arrested if you are not carrying proper I.D. Their reason behind the law is because they border Mexico. This is opening the door for racial profiling and racism. How do you feel about the law?

A little info on this:
-someone called the news (that was covering the story) and was for it. He said all the jobs were going to spanish speakers, they should have to speak english.

Well, first of all, "spanish speakers" aren't stealing jobs, employers are GIVING the jobs away. And lastly, I'd much rather hire someone who can speak spanish over someone with a jacked up accent who can't even speak their OWN native language correctly!

Wow...there is seriously something wrong with today's people.

People always whine about how they get their jobs taken away by the hispanic population. And well, truth is. Stuff like this happens because the hispanic population just work harder for it because of the need to survive in a better place. In other words...some people born in the U.S. have forgotten the true meaning of the "American Dream" ...and that's what the hispanic population is doing...fighting for their...American dream.

Since 2005 the UK has been in various stages of endeavouring to introduce Identity cards as part of a national identity scheme?.

Here are two distinct views and I would be grateful for members opinions, on 6th of May the UK will embark on a General Election that will determine who will govern for the next five years, and ID cards are an issue high on the agenda, a vote for either the Lib Democrats or the Conservatives will mean the scraping of ID cards, the National Identity Register and the Contactpoint database, a vote for Labour will see the introduction of the ID card system.

For the introduction of an Identity card system:

Against the introduction of an Identity card system:

As a first time voter ?the national Identity issue along with further education is high on my list of priorities to determine which party gets my vote ?naivety comes into this too I actually believe my vote makes a difference?..

Unfortunately, people, Arizona officially passed this bill today. I'd like to welcome everyone to the new (legal) form of racism.

Doesn't Arizona see that this is wrong? So how are they going properly approach people?
So, if you go to Arizona and you're asked for I.D. then you've just been racial profilied.

Really?? there seriously is something wrong with people. They'll do anything just to make themselves feel better or superior to someone else. How utterly disgusting of humans to do such things to one another

I agree.

How is this racial profiling?
I see no problem with a person having to carry ID. Most people do anyways.

That's not all there is to it.

Did you not read the story on CNN? It's an immigration law that states that officials are able to stop you if they suspect you are an illegal IMMIGRANT. Um, how can you tell someone's an immigrant? You can't unless you hear if they have an accent and sometimes even THAT doesn't mean you're an immigrant.

DEFINITION:

Main Entry: racial profiling
Part of Speech: n
Definition: the consideration of race when developing a profile of suspected criminals; by extension, a form of racism involving police focus on people of certain racial groups when seeking suspected criminals

Yeah, very very retarted. I was thinking that president Obama should shut that law down, becuse afterall he is a man of color and I expect him to know how it feels.
