The bill mandates that police determine people's immigration status if there is a 'reasonable suspicion' they are undocumented. Immigrant rights groups say it amounts to a police state.
Arizona lawmakers on Tuesday approved what foes and supporters agree is the toughest measure in the country against undocumented immigrants, making it a crime to be an illegal immigrant in Arizona and allowing local police to determine whether people are in the country legally.
The measure, long sought by opponents of illegal immigration, passed in the state House of Representatives. The state Senate passed a similar measure earlier this year, and Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who has not spoken publicly about the issue, is expected to sign the bill.
The bill's author, State Sen. Russell Pearce, said the law simply "takes the handcuffs off of law enforcement and lets them do their job."

Immigrant rights groups were horrified, and contended that Arizona had just been transformed into a police state.

Exactly. Although, I am often passed through with little more than a glance into the vehicle.
It helps to be old and an obvious gringo.
Not yet. It’s coming.
Is she going to sign it? Do they expect constitutional challenges by LA Raza and the Mexican drug cartels (sic)?
I hope this is also a sign that AZ will dump McCain.
