[QUOTE="klein, post: 735284, member: 23950"] Again, I'm all for fighting illegal immigration, but still doubt the messures AZ put in place, as even the UN thinks it may violalte the Human Rights Act : [URL='http://www.huffingtonpost.com/']The Huffington Post[/URL] [B][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=1]May 27, 2010[/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [B][URL='http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/11/un-human-rights-experts-c_n_571334.html'][SIZE=3]UN Human Rights Experts Criticize Arizona Immigration Law, Say It Could Violate International Standards[/SIZE][/URL][/B] 05/11/10 10:30 PM | GENEVA — Arizona's new law on illegal immigration could violate international standards that are binding in the United States, six U.N. human rights experts said Tuesday. The basic human rights regulations, signed by the U.S. and many other nations, relate to issues such as discrimination and the terms under which a person can be detained, the experts said. "A disturbing pattern of legislative activity hostile to ethnic minorities and immigrants has been established with the adoption of an immigration law that may allow for police action targeting individuals on the basis of their perceived ethnic origin," the experts said. Arizona's new sweeping law targeting illegal immigration has provisions that include requiring police enforcing another law to question a person about his or her immigration status, if there is "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the United States illegally. It also makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally. In America, critics have said the law violates the U.S. Constitution's provisions against unreasonable search and seizure and will result in racial profiling of Hispanics. Supporters deny that and say the law will pressure illegal immigrants to leave the country on their own.
