This video is talking about the Arizona immigration laws. The Supreme Court was enforcing the state to crack down on the immigrants. It was known to the state that officers would start deporting immigrants back to Mexico, if the police had a suspicion that a person was an immigrant. They would ask the person they suspect of being an immigrant for their legal papers and if they did not have them they would be deported. This was a law according to the news stations, but that law was false, police officers could only stop them for different reasons and ask for their papers, they could not stop them if they look suspicious or like an immigrant. As the website Politifact stated. “The law, portions of which were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, required that state law enforcement officers try to determine someone's immigration status when officers had reasonable suspicion the person was an illegal immigrant.”

Motivation- They felt the need to talk about this issue because the 1070 immigration law wasn't correct; it was misinterpreted by viewers.
Evidence-  “The law, portions of which were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, required that state law enforcement officers try to determine someone's immigration status when officers had reasonable suspicion the person was an illegal immigrant.” (Truth-stretching about Arizona Immigration Law, 2012)
Logic- The news report shows us, the viewers that the 1070 immigration law will be enforced. Police officers cannot just assume someone is an immigrant and deport them, there has to be a reason why police officers stop immigrants and ask for their legal papers.
Left Out- I feel that everything was in there that needed to be, there wasn't really anything confusing as to weather or not something was missing or needed to be added.
