The Arizona Law

The Arizona Law about immigration "requires state and local police to investigate the immigration status of anyone they reasonably suspect of being an illegal immigrant." The Obama administration brought a lawsuit against it in July, claiming that the law was discriminatory and unconstitutional. The matter has caused a heated debate across the nation between people who are in favor of or outraged about the law. A federal judge soon ruled that parts of the law that could lead to harassment and issued an injunction. The law is still heavily debated. On Wednesday (10/27/10) the federal appeals court ruled that proof of citizenship should not be necessary when registering to vote, and today (11/1/10) lawyers appealed the ruling of the suit in July.
