Right to live
People in the United States have the right to live but, immigrants are being denied from this right, especially Latinos. This breaks article 13, 14 and 15 in some cases it has even created racism. The United States created a law, which proponents and critics alike said was the broadest and strictest immigration measure in generations, would make the failure to carry immigration papers a crime and give police power to arrest anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. People have called this an excuse for cops to harass and discriminate against Hispanics regardless of their citizenship status. This is very drastic and, not only does this denies people to walk around freely without the worry of being caught without your papers but, in a way it does not let people use the articles mentioned and breaks article 7..
Protected by the law
It is hard to not discriminate a person by their appearance because we all do it but we keep it to ourselves and in some cases we get to know that person and we stop discriminating them. Although, try telling that to the police who are suppose to represent the law, they don’t saw its racism they say its racial profiling. It does not matter what they call it is still wrong and either way it is just an excuse for them to arrest African-Americans and Hispanics. Also, this is very noticeable at airports in the United States when they do a “random” security check on a person that looks from Arabic descent. Events like these make it hard to believe that article 7, which states that everybody should be protected by the law is considered in the United States.
Reasons to care
This affects everyone because at any moment a friend or family member can be arrested because he or she was not carrying their citizen documents. Most people do not realize this is still a problem in fact some people just joke around about topics like racism and immigration. I don’t blame them for this because sometimes you have to look at it from a different point of view. At least this way people are informed about this but it should be taken seriously. This way the problem gets solved and are voices should be heard by the tyrannical police officers of the United States. Luckily the government is not as racist and allows the president to be an African-American and maybe in the near future a woman might win.
