New Immigration Bill In AZ
Headline Legal News
AP is reporting that Arizona has inched closer to making all illegal immigrants in the state criminals.
The Arizona Senate voted 16-11 early today to expand its trespassing laws, making the presence of illegal immigrants a crime. The House must approve the bill and Gov. Jan Brewer must sign it before it would become law.
If passed, Arizona would be the first with such a law.
Supporters say this would provide law enforcement with another layer to combat illegal immigrants who slip past federal agents.
Opponents, on the other hand, believe this could lead to racial profiling and discrimination.
