One does not have to put doggy-doo under a microscope to conclude that it smells. There are lots of problems with the law. Some Arizona sheriffs have already stated that they can't and won't enforce the law.

Reasons include: They're already short-staffed. They're already overloaded handling real crimes, like DUI, wife beating, child abuse. And the very basic problem that nobody has "citizenship papers".

There is no such thing as a citizenship document in the USA. Expecting people to "prove" their citizenship is impractical. And no, a driver's license or birth certificate is not proof of anything.

The states do not check for citizenship when issuing drives licenses, and you can get any birth certificate you want from the county register.

2 I have always been under the impression that no one in DC reads anything. The study law, maybe even practice it for a while, but once they're MAKING law, reading anything is optional.

3 I've never the entire law, but I know the way it is going to be misused is wrong. Simply human nature.

7 I also have not read the law. I'm not a lawyer, and legalese doesn't always make a whole lot of sense to me. That said, it appears quite clear from the press surrounding the law that it allows for police officers to ask anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant for proof that they are in the country legally, and it allows them to arrest them if they cannot provide that proof.

Since "suspect they're illegal" is an extremely loose requirement, and since most citizens don't bother carrying around their birth certificates, it seems like the law allows police officers to arrest pretty much anybody for no reason, but especially hispanics. This seems like an awful idea to me. Now, I haven't read the law.

Maybe it turns out that I totally misunderstood what it does. If that's so, then, sure, I was wrong to jump to conclusions just by listening to what the law's supporters said it did. But I suspect that the attorney general has people working for him that have read the law in question and have summarized its contents accurately to him.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
