Alright so here's the
facts of the story.
There are roughly 20 million illegal immigrants in the entire United States.
There are roughly 500,000 illegal immigrants in Arizona.
There is a
lot of illegal drug, weapon and human trafficking over the US-Mexico border entering into Arizona.
The new law allows Police Officers to request proof of legal citizenship.
The issue that this brings up is Racial Profiling.

However there is another law that states that police
cannot pull people over or aside without legitimate suspicion that does not include race.
Also, these cases need to stand up in court, so the police officer has to back up his "reasoning" for asking for proof to begin with.
So here are the prompts:
Is the law allowing police officers to ask for information proving that people are not breaking a law a violation of civil rights?
Will this law create a huge problem of racial profiling with the existing laws in place?
Will this law effectively treat the problems of the drug, weapon, and human trafficking?
Please don't answer one question without the other two. Let's not exclude anything :)
