The Arizona Immigration Law

This article is called “Is the Arizona Immigration law Racist?” and it deals with the current event of illegal immigrants in the United States. It was written by Claudia Bradshaw for the British Broadcasting Corporation. The immigration law in Arizona affects many people. It affects specially immigrants. The law states that any person that seems immigrant will be ask to show their papers and if they do not have them they will be arrested up to six months, and pay a fine of 2,500 dollars. I believe there is a small bias in this article. The person who wrote it only considered the opinion of US citizens. This makes the article seem less interested in the immigrants themselves. I think it is missing the opinion of an immigrant. I disagree totally with the immigration law of Arizona since I believe it is a violation of human rights. The law says that police can stop anyone that looks like an immigrant. This is very racist since they see them as criminals. Also, Senator McCain said that the people of Arizona are the victims since they suffer the flow of drugs and other crimes. Most of the immigrants just want a better life and that is plain racism because US citizens can sell drugs and create a hostile environment.
