4th Amendment

Source: "Hill Republicans dodge on Arizona law" May 6, 2010

Constitutional Connection: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Analysis of the Connection: People should have the right to be who they are, as stated in the Fourth Amendment. Although the police officer is a authority figure, they still should not have the right to make the judgement of someone is a immigrant or not. It is in The Constitution of the united States of America and should be respected. I understand that Arizona made the law up for their state, but that is not fair to the citizens that live in Arizona. I understand that their may be some illegal immigrants in Arizona, but that does not mean that the police has to go to everybody that looks like a immigrant and ask for their papers. People do not walk around with their Birth Certificate in their back pocket, that is crazy. The citizens should not be harrased where they live. They been through to much stuff already and had to dod what they had to do to get their life together. Arizona government should not against the Constitution of the United States of America.
