Reverend Al Sharpton leads Arizona Protest
Constitutional Connection:
Amendment I, Bill of Rights
"Congress shall make no law...prohibiting...or abridging...the right of the people peaceably to assemble..."
A major issue in these recent weeks has been Arizona's plan of a new immigration law. This law is meant to be placed in Arizona to allow police officers to stop people in Arizona who are suspected as illegal immigrants. The controversial part of this law is that for some people this can be seen as another way to easily racial profile. Some politicians and political figures feel that this law is unnecessary and wrong since they seem it would give a officer a reason to simply take a "suspected" illegal immigrant and send him somewhere where he or she doesn't belong.
This video clearly demonstrates the first amendments right to assembly. Assembly in this case is the right as people to come together to either protest or rally against something that they feel is wrong and not to have any faulty interaction with the government in the process. These people in the video predominantly Hispanic Americans have come together to rally against the Arizona Immigration Law (SB1070). This gathering is clearly protected by the right to assembly and shows the power of the constitution in the present day.
From my point of view I feel that this protest against the bill SB1070 in Arizona is righteous, these Hispanic Americans and other people should be out there expressing there feelings and views towards this atrocious law. The companionship between Reverend Al Sharpton and the members of the Arizona community is strong and fair. This immigration law is to much, I mean isn't boarder patrol enough and other forms of government that protect US from the additional illegal immigrants that enter these states day in and day out. Adding police to the list is in ways useless, they should be on the streets protect citizens from theft and murder, not taking people in because they think he/she is an illegal "alien". This is law is simply fault to me.
