SB 1070, both sides

For it: illegal immigration is a serious problem that needs to be stopped. SB 1070 can help with that problem.  The government is losing money because we pay for their healthcare and the benefits that we as citizens should be provided. Why can’t we have benefits for free and illegal immigrants pay?

Against it:  racial profiling is insulting, degrading, and un-American. America is supposed to be the land of opportunity but I guess I missed the second half where it said that opportunity was for white skinned people. About 200 years ago we asked for Mexicans to come into America and live here. We NEEDED them to live here to farm our crops. Now that they are done with the work we needed them to do we want to send them back? Didn’t we declare a person is not property? So why do we want to return them like some old toy we don’t want to play with anymore? If we want to stop immigration why can’t we find a different solution to this problem?
