Arizona Governor Brewer has signed an immigration bill that requires authorities to question and demand proof of status from anyone they suspect of being undocumented.
"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."
This is Constitutionally questionable at best and a bald political pandering at worst. In addition to basic questions of fairness, the State of Arizona just bought themselves a shitload of litigation. Who pays for litigation? Taxpayers, that's who.
