I am disappointed to have read this week that Florida is backing the Arizona immigration law that basically allows racial profiling.

It is not only offensive that hardworking legal immigrants there will henceforth need to have proof of citizenship with themselves at all times, but it is offensive to me as an American.

This country is turning into the exact opposite of the principles it was founded on. The history lesson shouldn’t be necessary here for you to understand that point.

Now this country is turning on those very beliefs. It may not be considered flat out racism, but as far as I see it, it is, since the only basis for question would be race.

These states backing Arizona and the people supporting them as well need to learn to coexist with people.
