This petition is to stop all states from making laws where ones legal status is a question. American citizens should not be subject to having to prove they are citizens, regardless of their race. I an American citizen urge you to sign this petition to stop us from being hassled each and every day by law enforcement officers. Please I ask that only U.S. citizens or legal immigrants from any country sign this petition. We has Americans should not be hassled to show we are in this country legally based solely on our race. The passing of laws like these only make it legal and easy for someone to be racist.

I keep reading the messages you are sending me about being stopped for no reason other than the way you look. It is exhausting to live in a state where your own documentation is questioned on the sidewalk. We deserve to walk through our neighborhoods without fearing law enforcement.

The momentum behind this effort has shifted from a personal struggle into a collective movement that cannot be ignored. Seeing so many of you stand against these discriminatory laws reminds me that we deserve to live without fear of being targeted for how we look.

Ridiculous that I have to carry papers just to go to the store. This is profiling plain and simple.

Enough with the racial profiling! My family has been here for generations and its insulting to be treated like an outsider in my own home.
