Stuart Loory, Lee Hills Chair in Free-Press Studies, Missouri School of Journalism: Today we’re going to discuss illegal immigration. Immigration is a thing that made our country great. All of us, except Native Americans, are immigrants or descended from immigrants. Many of us have illegal or forced immigration in our backgrounds. This new Arizona law says that if a policeman stops you and has reason to believe that you are an illegal immigrant, he or she may ask for documentation. If you can’t produce it, you may be summarily deported. Will the new law control the problem of illegal immigration in Arizona?
