The legislation, sent to the Republican governor by the GOP-led Legislature, makes it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It also requires local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants; allows lawsuits against government agencies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws; and makes it illegal to hire illegal immigrants for day labor or knowingly transport them.
My question is: why is such a law necessary? You mean it was NOT a crime under state law to be in the country illegally? It was NOT illegal to hire illegal immigrants for day labor? According to this poll, 70% of Arizona voters approve of the new law. The murder of rancher Robert Krentz probably has something to do with the more serious approach to border enforcement.
The far left, including President Obama, opposes the law-enforcement efforts, preferring to enable the flood of illegal immigration currently overwhelming our southern border. Look for another nutty initiative sweeping out of DC over the next few months to legalize illegal aliens.
It’s the next logical step as the country continues its jolly jaunt down the path of unseriousness.
