As of right now, I am still researching and developing my own ideas and opinions on this subject, but am happy to do so, as it seems this is a heated subject and one that should be debated openly, after all, most of us come from families who at one time migrated to the United States from another country. I can honestly say, however, that I do agree with being able to enforce a law that is already in place, if the federal government is unable or unwilling to provide that enforcement then it should be allowed to the bordering states which are directly affected.

Arizona Senate Bill 1070
The Senate Bill 1070 is a reiteration of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1989 as prescribed by our federal government. The purpose of the bill is to enable state and local authorities the right to enforce the laws and to specifically deter and significantly reduce the migration of illegal immigrants over the borders of Arizona. In fact, it goes as far to say that it must enforce the law, and may be sued by an individual for not doing so.

I feel you on this being a tough subject to talk about. I think its a multi-layerd issue, and there is not just black and white answers for any of these issues. For that reason i second your motion to have an openly debated about it in class.
