5. Open Door Policy? "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door.“

6. Hotly Debated & Opposed The world and country has met this bill with mixed emotions. While the opposition compares this bill to the registration of Jews in Nazi Germany during WWII, and has concerns about racial profiling… Many who support this bill have argued that more jobs will become vacant, more funds will be funneled back into social security, welfare and other social services provided by the USA government for US citizens.

Example: Arizona and California (Los Angeles). Los Angeles police are forbidden from carrying out California’s illegal immigration directive under the department's own policy.  Their policy states that since there are so many immigrants living in Los Angeles, when police are investigating a crime, they do not investigate the citizen’s immigrant status.
