On thursday night, Gerogia's legislature passed the tough law. This says that police has the rights to ask about immigration status when questioning suspects in certain criminal investigations. It punishes people who transport illegal immigrants during the commission of a crime and imposes hefty prison sentences on those who use fake documents to get jobs. Opponents argued that the bill could encourage racial profiling and discrimination. Republican state Rep. Matt Ramsey, declared, "We have done the job that we were sent to do." I think that this bill does go a little beyond the privacy of citizenship but it's for a good cause. I'm still confused of how a immigrate would look like though, do law inforcement judge by your race? People are going to be offended, but this is a solution to stopping immigrants so I say they made a right choice of passing it.
