Summary
This article discuss about block or permit the provision of the immigration profiling law so called "show me your paper" passed in Arizona state. For 2 years, several civil rights activists and even some judges in the federal court raised their voice on blocking the provision since racial profiling infringes upon the Constitution. On the other hand, the court is trying to justify the validity of the law and enforce to pass it, the civil activists are fiercely opposing against the law, and even some judges are worried whether it it too impetuous to enforce the law without concerning its effectiveness.

My thought
Since I am also one of the immigrants who will going to stay in the states, racial profiling on immigrants is not a good news for me. Even though it is important for keeping national security and prevent the violent assault by Islamic terrorists, it violates the fourth amendment of the Constitution that upholds "no seizure or search of individual's property without owner's consent." For the most part, though the court claims it does not infringe upon the Constitution, I believe that immigrants also have the rights to pursuit their natural rights in foreign soil, and such kind of archaic and stereotyped laws should not be passed.
