Why is Immigration such a BIG Issue?

Immigration in Arizona:
The laws in Arizona is a huge, tough law that played a huge part in influencing Oklahoma. Arizonas law enforcment was the right to demand a person who looks like they are'nt Americans, such as Mexicans, asians, and all races except Whites. If they do not have papers, then they should be arrested Also it is illegal to hire illegal immigrants for jobs in Arizona. Oklahoma is influenced by their laws, and are starting to do the same.
The biggest issue that Arizona and other states are making is that immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans. As we mostly see, immigrants take jobs that Americans do not usually do, such as mowing lawns, working in farms, cleaning as maids, etc. Those kinds of jobs are usually known for immigrants.In the state of Arizona, the presence of immigrants causes increased crime. The number of immigrants to the US has been increasing since the 1990's.

The law in Arizona basically defines that immigrants such as Mexicans, Latinos, etc are most likely to be suspected than Blacks and Whites, because it is based on the ethnicity, exp if the person has an accent, and does not know much English. The law will be expensive for the state of Arizona which already has a defecit of trillions of dollars. The law creates an uncomfturble atmousphere between law enforcement officers and immigrants, exp with a large number of immigrants, the law says that any law enforcement officer has the right to demand paper from a person who makes the uncomortable and resentful. Arizona's law destroys the concept of the "melting pot" as well as freedom and new opportunity in the US.
