Arizona Leading the Way

Arizona has finally done what no other state has done before. It has cracked down on illegal immigration. Many on the left believe that Arizona overstepped its boundaries in passing this legislation. They believe that Arizona's law is too harsh on illegal immigrants. In fact, federal law is TOUGHER than Arizona's new law. Federal law does not require police to give any reason for asking for immigration papers. The law in Arizona requires law enforcement to have another reason for asking for these types of documents, such as another suspected crime. We should congratulate those that worked to pass this law for Arizona. It will provide a much needed relief in the illegal immigration problem that America faces today. Illegal immigrants have no right to be here - that's why they are called "illegal" immigrants. We have a responsibility to crack down on this issue and to make it clear that we will not tolerate Mexicans illegally coming to this country. We need to encourage more and more states to take similar measures.

Once again, congratulations, Arizona!
