Ethical And Unjust Laws
Martin Luther King Jr said, “One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” (382) Just and unjust; right and wrong is the basic skill that everyone have to learn when they were young. People come to school to learn how to follow the laws, and it is true that laws are made to protect people and make things fair for everyone. However base on Martin Luther King Jr, I recognized not all laws are ethical and just. Arizona’s immigration law is an unjust law and it should be abolish because it creates racial profiling, effects public health and impact economic. Arizona is a state that has so many illegal immigrants, it is a reason that Arizona Governor Jan
Brewer passed out Arizona’s immigration law which is also called Arizona SB1070. The law was signed by Jan Brewer on April 23, 2010 and it was affective on April 29, 2010. The law requires people who over 14 years old has to carry their registration with them at all time. There are four forms of identification are “a valid Arizona driver license; a valid Arizona nonoperating identification license; a valid tribal enrollment card or other tribal identification; or any valid federal, state, or local government-issued identification.” (Wikipedia). Arizona’s immigration law also allows the state officers have a right to stop the immigration status of individuals whenever the officers think that someone is illegal immigrants. The laws also do not accept any business can hire illegal immigrants because they do not allow working in public. If people cannot provide enough legal documents, they will either get dragged into jail or have to pay their violence fee depends on how many time of violation. The minimum amounts will be $100 and 20 days in jail for the first time of violence. Some of the current states are joining this law are Utah, Georgia, Indiana, Alabama and South California.
