Working hard and risking your life does not make it right to enter a country illegally. As a Hispanic myself, I do understand that these illegal immigrants are crossing the border in order to have a better life and future, but at the same time, the United States HAS a set laws, and those laws should be respected and followed, no matter how unfair it seems to others. Arizona is just enforcing a law that already exists, which is that illegal immigrants should be deported. What I don't agree on is stopping just any Hispanic looking person to ask for their papers, and having them either put in jail or deported. No person should be stopped unless there is a good enough reason to do so. No one should be discriminated against just because they look Hispanic, and not stopping someone that might be guilty of suspicious activity just because he or she looks American. I do believe that any immigrant should be granted passage into the Unites States, because all they want is to have a better future, but they have to do it LEGALLY, and be able to get their US citizenship first, which no one, no matter their home country, should be denied the right.
