Realm of Injustice

US President Barack Hussein Obama cited the potential for abuse when decrying the new immigration enforcement law recently enacted by Arizona. Of course, the potential for abuse exists with every law that is passed. Every enforcement mechanism is performed by human beings who are of course fallible and subject to personal bias. If laws were subject to being overturned because they could be misused, then all law would have to be vacated. Profiling may occur in Arizona or in any other state because flawed people are charged with administering what legislators with all the best intentions have passed and equally honorable governors have signed. Hopefully, law officers will proceed with integrity, but surely in some cases, they will not. But we need law to thwart anarchy and chaos and by in large in America, law has been fairly applied in recent times. There will be travesties- that is simply human nature.
