Hot Button Issue
The current hot topic on Board 261 Politics is Arizona bill S.B. 1070, an anti-illegal immigration bill. Also known as the “Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act.”

Support:

 * Law will help Arizona overcome illegal immigration by scaring illegal immigrants into leaving.
 * Law will help police officers detain and arrest illegal immigrants

Opposition:

 * Law will expand police priveleges by allowing police to detain a person based upon reasonable suspicion that the person is an illegal immigrant, and reasonable suspicion is loosely defined as it applies to the crime of illegal immigration.
 * Enforcement of the law will be unfairly targeted at the hispanic population in Arizona
