    Senator Robinson believes that Senator Thomas’s bill will prevent the police from successfully tracking suspected criminals. While this may be true, that would be a desired outcome. Our legal system is contingent upon the presumption that citizens are considered innocent until proven guilty, therefore, if the police have no articulable basis for the probable cause necessary to obtain a warrant to track a person of interest in a criminal investigation, they should not be permitted to track them. While the police must be allowed to serve their role in our society and ensure the safety of the public, the liberty and privacy interests at stake are too vital to be outweighed by the debatable security…

    Concern over immigrants being less inclined to report a crime they may have witnessed to authorities for fear of retribution and deportation. SB 1070 was also thought to affect travel and tourism when people wouldn’t want to vacation in Arizona with the fear of being harassed by law enforcement.

    The final and most important reason why Puerto Rico should become a state is the disadvantages Puerto Ricans have remaining as a Commonwealth of the United States. Ever since Puerto Ricans have become citizens in 1917, their right to vote has been repeatedly rejected by Congress (Roman 1). This type of rule can be easily compared to the monarchy that ruled Britain in 1776, Puerto Ricans representing the exploited Colonists. The Federal District Court of Puerto Rico had ruled that Puerto Ricans “had a fundamental right to vote in presidential elections based on their American citizenship” (Roman 1); however, “the Constitution of the United States does not expressly grant United States citizens the right to vote,” only states have the right to vote (Janicker 3).

    Being Hispanic to me means that I was naturally born blessed, but also cursed. I was born blessed because I was able to raised by parents who had an endless work ethic. They stopped at nothing from trying to keep food on the table and clothes on our backs. I remember growing up, both of my parents working endless hours of hard labour with minimal pay just to have enough for our family to survive. Even though we were struggling most of the time, my parents always woke me every morning to the same speech, "Son, I want you to succeed in life, I want you stay in school and earn a college degree so you will not have to struggle like us in the future.…

The 14th Amendment provides equal protection to everyone no matter race, age, or gender. Feder argues that there is an amendment that protects everyone with equal protection under the law. His perspective is important because he is using a constitutional law as to showing how racial profiling is against our rights. Feder also states “Racial profiling, or consideration of race by police and law enforcement, is a subject that the courts have reviewed on several constitutional grounds, including whether such profiling constitutes a violation of the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable search and seizure or the equal protection guarantee of the Fourteenth Amendment” (Feder 4).…

    Immigration in recent years has become a high controversial issue in the nation especially in boarder state Arizona. The U.S Supreme Court signed SB1070, Arizona’s infamous anti-immigration law on June 25 2010, which expanded the right to authority personnel to demand for proof of legality if suspicion of being in the country illegally. SB1070 institutionalizes racial profiling by the mere fact that police officers oblige any person of color or with an accent to prove their immigratory status whether they may or not be citizens.

Regardless of the big uproar this law caused not only in Arizona…
