Does having officers who check documents based on the color of your skin really work in reducing the number of illegal immigrants we have in the U.S? Would farmers and productions companies land on hard times without the extra help the immigrants provide? .Things have been going downhill for a while now. With all the problems that are caused by basing whether or not you should be pulled over while following all traffic laws, stopped on the sidewalk on your way home from getting a bite to eat, or taking longer at border stops just trying to take your family to disneyland, all because of the color of your skin. This controversial law was passed by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, who signed the law in 2010(Serrano, Sept. 07, 2012). By having this law passed it has caused many people with any Hispanic background or even those who are not Hispanic at all, just have darker skin, to worry constantly about being stopped for no reason and asked for papers. Though, this may not seem like a big deal for people that are here legally, they should not have to feel that they cannot go anywhere without that constant burden. …show more content…
In my eyes it’s not an effective strategy to deport immigrants back to mexico. Profiling puts a large amount of pressure on Police officers who are told they need to do this to as part of their job. It also creates a lot of family breakdown with american citizens who are Hispanic, watch as their older illegal immigrants that brought them to the U.S, are being deported. How can we morally feel that this kind of practice is ok? “It was no accident that so many high school students protested the new law. They will be directly affected. Young people are often the chief targets of racial profiling. And this law will almost surely split up families. In many cases, young people who are U.S. citizens have one or both parents who are undocumented workers. These families already cope with enormous economic pressure.” (Price , April 23,
The act itself is disappointing but more importantly I was bothered by the fact that there are many white individuals who fall victim to acts of police brutality but they don’t receive as much attention because they are not minorities (especially as much as african americans and latino’s do). “Deaths of whites at the hands of law enforcement typically receive less attention, even when the case is shrouded in controversy.” (Richardson, 1). This is an issue as a nation, we are fighting for unity among us all so I find it particularly odd that I never hear cases of police brutality against white individuals on the news, but constantly I come across one’s relating to african americans. All cases of police brutality are wrong despite color, race and ethnicity and we all deserve the right to raise awareness of this growing issue!
There will always be a debate on whether one law or another is giving Justice to America. However, it’s getting to the point where the United states needs to make a change in the immigration department. We owe it to Americans to give loyalty to tax payers and citizens. Right now America is essentially encouraging immigrants to evade taxes, as well as, the companies they are
The bill intended to discourage the flow of those illegally entering the U.S. and prevent
Immigration Under Siege After researching my topic, I found that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is using procedures enacted by congress as a means to treat immigrant workers as criminals while conducting worksite raids. This is a bad idea because they are waging a war against immigrant communities in the process. This agency created by the Government, raids worksites and community schools and sets-up traffic checkpoints to demand legal documentation of citizenship.
Racial profiling is ineffective because most descriptions of suspects are too vague and when police set up a description of what a criminal looks like, if they were to base it on the race of the criminal the amount of people who would fit that description is immense. The Boston Marathon Bombing is an example of this. When the police were on the lookout for possible suspects, they were looking for any brown men who were wearing backpacks. Elahe Izadi wrote an article titled "Racial Profiling Is Ineffective in Catching Terrorists" in which she discusses the flaws of racial profiling. Izadi points out, "Even if the public had known whether the suspects were white or "dark-skinned," that piece of information was still too vague to be useful—how
The amount of Latinos in federal prison is constantly increasing. Other forms of social control used against Mexicans and other Latinos are often racial profiling and Border Patrol as a technique to control their population in the U.S. "The perceived or actual immigrant status of many Mexicans and other Latinos also means that they are subject to forces of border control, while the growing population of Latinos is threatening to some Anglo-Americans who fear competition for jobs and the decreasing primacy of Anglo-American culture"(Bosworth and Flavin
Racial profiling is a problem across the entire nation in law enforcement. In every community it differs to who is being oppressed, and it usually depends on the type of race and ethnicity the community holds. As to us, our culture and setting consist of a high percentage of hispanics and latinos, so here comes to our problem as to who is being targeted mostly in our racist issues with the police brutally. The problem we face in our community is the fact that being from the culture, we grew up in all policemen stereotype latinos for the way they make look or speak.
Racial profiling is used in different ways and is a problem that needs to be solved in the United
Overall racial profiling is a violation of are individual human rights and it also violates our 14th amendment. Police should stop using this method and use other methods to figure out criminal behavior. We live in a world where people are still simple minded and can’t get out of their old ways. Being racially targeted because your black or muslin any other race can take a toll on someone
Racial profiling, using someone’s race to suspect they are ar committing an offensive crime. Modern society has come to where we will judge someone for individual protection . People have a habit of having a negative judgment for “foreigners” that come in . Many illegal immigrants have slipped in the U.S in the past few years. The perception one a group then leads to the deception of any individual in that group .
Social profiling should not be legalised in America because it will only promote discrimination, protest, and divided
The government received rewards when they ruled that the person that was detained was a run away slave which led to many free black being faulsy accused and sold into bondage. Under the SB 1070 any citizen who gives a ride to an undocumented immigrant would be fined 1,000 dollars. It can be expected that many Latino’s would be shunned to because people would fear that they were undoumented. Finacial motivation also exist in SB 1070 because anti-immigrants citizens can sue official who do not enforce the new immigration law against the suspected alines. Since the official do not want to pay fines and attorney fees many Latino will be harrassed with arrests and be abused regarles of their legal status because they fear that they will be trargeted for litigation if they don’t take
Obama’s Immigration Policy: Presidential Memos to order Deferred Action Within the last few years, immigration has been a huge topic for debate. Americans have seen a large increase in the numbers of immigrants, specifically illegal immigrants, over the last few decades. That has many citizens wondering what has changed. One of the most recent changes has to do with an executive policy known as deferred action.
Stop and Frisk Stop and Frisk, the tactic that has been going on for only for short time, yet there seems to be racial tension already. But is this new information actually true or is it just good policing? According to Heather Mac Donald from the Manhattan Institute, says “what looks like racial profiling might just be good policing”. However according to Ranjana Natarajan from the Washington post “it’s clear that two issues need to be addressed: racial profiling and police use of excessive force.” Unfortunately we cannot have both ways.
Reason #1 and Evidence One of the reason stated is that this law allows immigrants to be legal here if they've stayed here for 5+ years. This is important because 4.2 million immigrants have been here for 5+ years. In Obama’s speech he stated, “If you've been in America for over 5 years… you will be able to stay in this country.” Even though this new
