The state of Arizona is in an interesting situation. The state is located right along the border. Many aliens come to the United States through Arizona. The Arizona is trying to pass a law that allows police force to ask for birth certificates or any documation showing that a person is legaly working, or residing within the United States. This has prompted controversy. Many citizens of the U.S believe that this is a breach of privacy. The Government claims that the use of illegal aliens for work cripples the economy. Illegal workers are claimed to take work that American citizens would be able to occupy. What are your thoughts on this controversial poltical action?
