I can see both sides of this argument and there are pros and cons to each. I agree that there is a problem at hand and that something needs to get done about controlling illegal immigration. I do not know though if this law is going to make this situation any better because it does go against the constitution and does promote racial profiling; which is not what this country stands for. The state needs to really look at the situation at hand and really figure out something to do that can keep illegal immigration under control without discriminating against someone due to their race. I watched the Larry King Live you tube video and listened to a debate on the topic at hand and both made fairly reasonable arguments, but after listening to it I would have to say that I do think that the argument going against the law, saying that it is unconstitutional, was much stronger.

Personally, I do think that public should have to follow anti- bias rules. I do not think that any person, place or thing has the right to discriminate against anyone else for how they choose to live their life. To be more specific, I do not think that clubs on college campuses should deny anyone entrance into their club for a reason such as sexual orientation. They have no right to judge someone that way. Living in the United States we have the freedom to live our lives the way we choose to and so by allowing people to turn away others that want to be members of their club would be going against what this country stands for. If the college does start allowing these clubs to deny people who want to become members this could lead to many more things that could be much worse. Soon, whole colleges could start denying prospective students admission into the whole college itself just because of a reason such as sexual orientation. Teachers could start refusing to teach students that are "different" if this issue is not handled correctly. We, as Americans, should not and have no right to judge in this way. Everyone deserves equal rights and equal opportunities. No one should be put down or feel bad about the way they choose to live their life. If we did not get these privileges and opportunities then there would be no individualism or uniqueness. We need to make sure that acceptance of these differences is something that never fades away.
