Immigration Law protested as ‘Show Me Your Papers’ Law Takes effect

The controversial so called “show me your papers” provision took effect this week, amid much criticism. Civil Rights activists say that this provision will open the door to racial profiling. Activists gathered outside the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement building on Wednesday, September 19, 2012 calling, “No papers, No Fear!” The provision has both legal and illegal immigrants fearing for the safety of their families. It has the potential, not only to cause racial profiling, but also to cause unwarranted and unreasonably long detention for Latinos. Since the provision took effect, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement office—the federal agency responsible for checking people’s immigration status for local officers, has not seen a spike in calls from authorities.
