Another Strike Against Roy Blunt!


 Congressman Roy Blunt is in support of the new Arizona tough immigration law. This is when politics become a social concern because this law directly affects people through profiling. When the law was being signed there was not much positive media coverage, as far as I read. The new immigration law of Arizona goes beyond just border security and finishing the border fence. It goes directly affects people, the law "criminalizes illegal immigration by defining it as trespassing and allows local law enforcement agencies to question people they suspect of being undocumented"(Washington Post). Therefore there is a great risk of racial profiling. Neither President Obama nor U.S. Senator to be Robin Carnahan support this new law, and it's not because they don't care about immigration and protecting their country. It's because they care about people. It might sound great to have more restrictions on immigration to some people, but when it's implemented in such a way that it indicates racial profiling that is not ok, no matter what your stand on the the issue is. 


Do you want the person in the U.S. Senate representing YOU to be a discriminator like Roy Blunt? Or a person who really cares about people? I say, I want Robin Carnahan!
