Using specific evidence to support your arguments, are you for or against Arizona SB 1070?

Acknowledging what we talked about in class, Arizona SB 1070 has brought up plenty of conflicts. Many people are considering to send 12 million illegal immigrants home and if the federal government won't act on this the states will. They haven't thought about how much it may cost us to send all of the immigrants back home. Money is a huge factor and Arizona has paid $2.7 billion in 2009 to help the immigrants out. Another problem id that the new law is unconstitutional and immoral; it requires racial profiling. There are certain times where reasonable suspicion can be done without racial characteristics.

Boycotts from Mexico are occurring and this Arizona immigration law is ruining some businesses. Stores have been closing early because the main people keeping them open was the Mexicans. Because of these boycotts they will be loosing $90 million during the next 5 years in the hotel and convention center business. With all of problems taken into thought i am against the Arizona SB 1070. Other point of views we need to look at are that the illegal immigrants are the ones who take the low paying jobs trying to support their families, also i think it's impossible to send 12 million immigrants home. They need to be focusing on making their borders stronger first before trying to enforce this law.
