Immigration Laws Many Americans continue to debate over immigration and its effects to the United States. Recent bills have passed that allow for state and local law enforcement to have control over immigration laws. Immigration laws should be enforced and controlled by the federal government rather than state and local law enforcement. State government in Arizona passed SB 1070 which allows state and local police to check the immigration status of anyone whom they arrest and allows police to stop and arrest anyone whom they believe to be an illegal immigrant. Such bills go as far as making it a crime if people fail to carry registration papers.

STOP AND SEARCH DISCRIMINATION FOR ETHNIC MINORITY IN UK CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM Racism thinking and practice still can be found in UK in the last decade, for example, in the criminal justice system. In the UK criminal justice system, stop and search is the early process that has a critical point whether somebody can be arrested for the next process or not. This short essay will explain the evidence of ethnic based bias for ethnic minority, particularly black people by police officers in the stop and search stage.

NSA surveillance, collection of personal details may be going against the conventional grain of fundamental human rights and freedoms. The recent court rulings on the issue have not quite settled on a single premise. Two rulings of two courts in America have actually arrived at two different decisions citing two distinct reasoning. In Clayman vs Obama, Judge Richard echoed that surveillance and collection of telephony data by NSA without the knowledge of the general public was against the spirit of the constitution of America.
Venetia Charley Professor Rachel Johnson Com 1101-Composition and Rhetoric December 13, 2011 Illegal immigrants, American Indians, African Americans, and Mexican Americans, is the struggle the same. Is the struggle of illegal immigrants similar to the struggle of American Indians, African Americans, Mexican Americans, and other American groups who have fought against dehumanization?

April 2010, Arizona enacted two laws addressing immigration, SB 1070 and HB 2162. These laws added new state requirements, crimes and penalties related to enforcement of immigration laws and were to become effective on July 29, 2010. Before the laws could go into effect, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit asking for an injunction against these laws arguing that they are unconstitutional. On July 28, Judge Bolton granted the request for injunction in part and enjoined those provisions related to state law officers determining immigration status during any lawful stop; the requirement to carry alien registration documents; the prohibition on applying for work if unauthorized; and permission for warrantless arrests if there is probable cause the offense would make the person is removable from the United States. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer appealed the injunction and arguments were heard by the 9th U.S.

Opponents of the law express the concern that it will lead to racial problem. People will be checked because of their appearance or skin color.
Racial Profiling should not be allowed. Racial profiling is a violation of people’s civil rights. Every race commits crimes and if the police are targeting one race. That will give the other races more space to commit more vicious crimes. Racial Profiling is when a single group or race is singled out and watched closely because the police feel that they are more likely to commit crimes.
