White Man Shoots Latino Neighbor In AZ Over Immigration Law

I believe your right and you list several valid points. Apart from what you have listed here are a few more to consider. People say we should ignore the economic nature of these things and focus on "what is right and legal" I feel we need to look at the big picture and be very careful about passing laws that are questionable especially considering this law has been called unconstitutional by not only several lawyers and experts but there are too many issues within the law that will and are causing more problems instead of solving the problems.

1. Now that AZ has made it a criminal matter when the Federal infraction of "Unlawful Presence" is only Civil it will now open up the doors for undocumented people to ask for a trial by Jury which is very expensive and once again AZ will have to flip the bill. This is one of the unintended consequences that they did not even think about.

2. Crime before the new law was at a very low rate in AZ when compared with the last 10 years and the problems they have with drug dealers are already illegal and can be dealt with using existing laws. I can see this law making people hide and do things "under the table" because of the new law so crime will rise instead of falling.

3. People will lose trust when dealing with the police, they will be afraid to call the police when they are victims or wittnesses and they will begin dealing with issues on their own using local gangs for protection rather than the police.

4. Many of the AZ police departments have expressed concern that they don’t have manpower or resouces to enforce such a law. The law requires that it be enforced to the Maximum penalties and gives no descresion. Even the Federal Government does not do that.

5. When people are caught crossing the border it is a criminal federal class B misdemeanor and they are deported. When they are not caught it is not considered criminal it is only CIVIL unless your in AZ and then it is a State Criminal charge.

6. A Mormon drafted the law and says that Mormons believe in obeying and sustaining the law yet the Mormon church allows undocumented people to have Temple recommends, hold leadership callings and even go on Full Time Service missions because the CIVIL nature of the infraction. A speeding ticket is a civil infraction. Now that AZ has made "Unlawful Presence" I wonder if the Mormon Church will allow members in AZ to hold recommends or if they will have to move to another state to practice their religion. It sounds like we are getting into another aspect of the situation here. Are we taking the freedom of religion away from these people because the State of AZ has decided to take a Federal Civil infraction and make it a State Criminal case?
