2010 Arizona Immigration Law

The lawmakers approved a sweeping of new 2010 Arizona immigration law on Monday intended to ramp up law enforcement efforts of Arizona illegal immigration bill even as critics complained it could lead to racial profiling and other abuse.

The state Senate voted 17-11 nearly along party lines to send the bill to Gov. Jan Brewer, who has not taken a position on the measure championed by fellow Republicans. The House approved the bill April 13. It’s being called the toughest crackdown on Arizona illegal immigration law in the country. A bill requiring police to determine if a person is in the U.S. legally is expected to be signed into law by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.

The new 2010 Arizona immigration bill would make it a state crime for illegal immigrants to not have an alien registration document. This Arizona illegal immigration law also would require police to question people about their immigration status if there’s reason to suspect they’re in the country illegally.

Other provisions allow citizen lawsuits against government agencies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws, and make it illegal for people to hire illegal immigrants for day labor or knowingly transport them. Imagine you’re an Arizonans and your job is now to apply the state’s controversial new Arizona immigration law, the most stringent in the country. The measure directs you to check the immigration status of someone you have reasonable suspicion in the country illegally. You cannot consider that person’s race or ethnicity.
