Arizona Senate recently approved a bill that would give the cops power to arrest the suspected immigrants who they believe are entering the premises in an illegal manner. SB1070 would criminalize illegal overseas applicants for entering Arizona.

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio confirmed that he is intending to train 881 of his delegates to get hold of illegal immigrants, while performing their regular tasks. The bill would need the cops to make an attempt, in order to know the immigration status of overseas applicants during the course of investigation.

Other provisions are:

• “Sting” operations to catch hold of the workers who are employed as illegal immigrants.
• The presence of undocumented migrants would be regarded as a breaching of “state trespass laws.”
• Calling it a crime to stop cars on the street side and picking up anyone to indulge him in a “day labor” employment/ or temporary workers.
• Bar undocumented immigrants from approaching employment in public places as it would be regarded as a crime.

According to Sen. Russell Pearce, the motto behind SB 1070 is to inhibit “sanctuary policies,” where employers are ceased from the asking their employees whether they are present in the country in an illegal manner or not.

According to the Arizona ACLU’s director, Alessandra Soller Meetze, “If the bill is approved, then Arizona would be the only state in the country to come out with a bill that allows the cops to get hold of the illegal applicants.”
