10th Amendment


Source: "Arizona Immigration Law" May 18, 2010

Constitutional Connection: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people"

Analysis of the Connection: Arizona has passed a law stating that police officers have the right to check people and ask them if they have their immigration papers. That is not right I think because that is messing with peoples rights. Nobody in their right mind is going to walk or drive with their immigration papers in their back pockets. Arizona also stated that if they are illegal immigrants they are going to be deported back to where they came from. Arizona should at least try to help them to become citizens or something. Arizona needs to try to help them instead of kicking them to where they cam from. What if a woman had a child, a nice house, and a great job would you kick her back to a horrible place.

  1. I agree with you. I think this is a very unfairful law. The governor of Arizona should think about the lives that are going and are getting affected by this.

  2. Are you sure that is the right amendment to use, personally I would have quoted the fourth amendment protecting the people from wrongful searches and seizures.
