A new law passed in Arizona on Friday, April 23 requires police to question people about their immigration status and asking for registration documents if they suspect the individual is in the country illegally. Opponents of the law say it would undoubtly lead to racial profiling, especailly targeting individuals in the Latino Community.
Obama has called the new law “misguided” and instructed the Justice Department to examine it to see if it’s legal.
Supporters have dismissed concerns of racial profiling, say the law does not promote racial profiling because the use of race or nationality is not the sole basis for an immigration check.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has ordered state officials to develop a training course for officers to learn what constitutes reasonable suspicion someone is in the U.S. illegally.
Question of the day: How can you tell if an individual is in the U.S. illegally without first asking for identification?
