Arizona recently past a law making it illegal to be an undocumented immigrant. If a police officer suspects you are undocumented you can be asked to show your ID and papers and if you do not show papers proving you are here legally you can be arrested for 6 months and fined $2500. Do you agree or disagree with this law? State why you agree or disagree. What is the affect this law will have on the families of those arrested? Do you think a this type of law will be past in New York?
The link below is an article that can help you form your answers.
