Summary:

On Friday April 23, 2010 U.S. President Barack Obama initiated a new immigration law in Arizona. With the new law, it gives privilege to officers to stop individuals and check their identification due to suspicion of being an illegal immigrant or have a criminal background. This new law is very controversial because many people believe that it can lead to racial profiling which is a very severe problem in the U.S. The purpose for creating this law was because too many illegal immigrants were sneaking pass the borders. Obama believes that this law will drastically decrease the amount of people who are illegally sneaking pass the borders. Studies reveal that there are 11 million people who are illegal immigrants and majority of them are from Mexico. 11 million people are cheating the U.S. system and escaping taxes.

Connection:

With this law in act, there will be a significant decrease in the amount of people coming and going from Arizona. This will hurt the tourism industry because people don’t want to go through the trouble of being searched for suspicion. The revenue that the tourism business earns will definitely decrease. Therefore there will be less government spending and the overall economy will decrease. Also tourist attraction sites like shopping areas will be affected because of the decrease of traffic.

Reflection:
In my opinion this will prevent a lot of illegal immigrants trying to sneak into the U.S. With less illegal immigrants, it will benefit the U.S. economy. Although some people may not like this law because it is a big hassle to be checked even though one is not a suspect. Looking at this situation in a open minded perspective, in the end all the benefits is for the country. With the 11 million illegal immigrants, they are avoiding taxation. Thus, the government will have less money to spend into health care, education and infrastructure departments.
