The bill makes it a state crime for immigrants not to carry authorization papers. In other words, a police officer in Arizona can ask anyone to prove their immigration status and enforce federal immigration laws. Police do not require warrants or the proof of probable cause to detain suspected illegal immigrants. This seems very scary to me! What is PA decided to pass a similar bill?

The recently passed immigration law in Arizona has not only sparked a heated debate against this law and for it. But we have to ask if this a Federal issue or a State issue? Isn't immigration law a federal issue not one to be decided on by states?
