How are the Black Codes and Arizona’s current immigration laws similar? How are they different?

[voliny13]

You are trying to compare apples to oranges, but here you go:

Black codes denied blacks the right to testify against whites, to serve on juries or in state militias, or to vote, and express legal concern publicly.

Similarity: Immigrants cannot serve on juries or serve in militia nor have the right to vote. Arizona's current immigration laws follow this agenda as do every state in the union.

Difference: Blacks were/are citizens of the country, immigrants are not.

black codes are racist arizonias immigration laws are not we keep illegals out of the country because they use are schools while there parents dont pay taxes mooching off the people who do pay taxes it is not impossible to immigrate to the US legally but people insist oon doing it this way and causing more problems black codes are just racist rules that where put in place because the white man thought he was better

they both attempt to dehumanize people so it is easier to hate them, and not give them basic human rights

They are both extremely racist and created out of ignorance.
