1. The Arizona law which is facing many law suits, including one from the US Department of Justice because it can lead to racial profiling. However Arizona law sponsor urges Utah to act, too. Basically Arizona's law is said to be a solution to immigration but at what cost?
"“We’re not even halfway done learning about all the aspects of this issue,” Jenkins said. “We have a lot more information to gather still.” Utah is still deciding but the fact that they would consider this is pretty sad, it was already a shock when Arizona came out with this ridiculous law.

2. According to this article http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2010/0910/Arizona-immigration-law-Funds-roll-in-from-across-US-to-defend-it. Gary Piekaar believes that federal government should be funding the law rather than fight it. States have no power to pass immigration laws because it’s an attribute of foreign affairs. On Section 8 - Powers of Congress it says, "The Congress shall have Power To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;" So the power of congress has that power.
3. After doing a little further research about the Arizona law and Utah I learned that it was unconstitutional and the State doesn't have the power to make that kind of decision for immigration laws. I also looked this up because of the trial we will have in class and I wanted to know a little bit more about it and I personally believe that law isn't right so I wanted to know what is being done right now.
