Arizona's immigration law

I do not feel that the Arizona Immigration Law is fair, it is unjust because it is straight up attacking one group of people I feel that by passing this law we are basically giving the right to the police officers to be racist towards people who look like they are illegal. I feel that if we are going to give them the right to do this we might as well let the pull people over who look like rapist or murders or even like drug dealers, is this not the same we would catch more criminals this way just like we are going to find more illegal’s by pulling people over who look like them. I feel like this law is only going to affect Arizona’s economy people are going to drift away from visiting for vacationing.

Anti-bias Rules

Should everyone at public colleges be forced to follow anti-bias rules? More specifically, should student groups have the right to restrict membership based on their beliefs?

I do not believe that public colleges should force anti-bias rules upon the clubs, I feel that it takes away from allowing the clubs to be run independently by the students. I feel that if the school wants to force these anti-bias rules they should be the ones responsible for putting the clubs together and making sure that they run smoothly. I believe that the each individual club should be able to deny membership someone who does not share the same views as the group does, or as in this example where the Christian Group is not allowing lesbian and gay people in the group. I say that it is okay because one of the core believes of Christian is that homosexuality is not allowed for any reason. McConnell Said that “the Christian Legal Society is seeking only to deny membership based on applicants' beliefs, not on their race.” I feel that this is how every club should be allowed to run as long as they are not discriminating to a person because of their race or because of their social or economic background.
