An article from the Oct. 13 issue of The Chronicle titled "Racist Immigration Law Forces Alabama Hispanics Out" attempted to analyze the immigration laws in this country. It also offered commentary on the fairness and validity of the laws, or the lack thereof, stating, "America could use a little Hofstra P.R.I.D.E."
The aim of this new law is to preserve the P.R.I.D.E principle of respect for self and others. However, because illegal immigration has not been addressed, this principle has been neglected by our great country.
