LOS ANGELES (AFP) Immigrant rights groups Wednesday slammed Arizona lawmakers after they approved a bill which will allow police officers to determine whether suspects are in the United States legally.
Arizona's House of Representatives passed the bill by a margin of 35 votes to 21 during a session on Tuesday, the legislature's website showed, mirroring a similar measure passed by the border state's Senate earlier this year.
The bill will now proceed to Arizona's Republican Governor Jan Brewer to be signed into law.
The bill makes it a misdemeanor offense for an individual to lack proper immigration paperwork and also allows police officers to determine someone's immigration status if they believe he or she could be an illegal immigrant.
Currently police can only ask about an individual's immigration status if they are suspected of involvement in another crime.
However critics say the bill will transform Arizona into a "police state" and even sections of law enforcement have voiced fears it could harm relations between police and the immigrant community.
Chris Newman, Legal Director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, which campaigns on behalf of day laborers in the United States, called on Governor Brewer to veto the bill, which he described as "odious" and "unwise."

And Americans supporting or working for the so called immigrant rights groups should be charged with aiding and abetting criminal activity.
Yup. then deported to their ancestor’s home country. I’m sick of traitors.
That habit of simply dumping dirty diapers is utterly disgusting. Usually there's a trash can close by, which makes it even more irritating. To add insult to injury, we probably paid for the diaper as well.
One illegal alien mother brought her "special needs child" to school fondling a dirty diaper. Momma didn't take it away from her because "she gets so upset (in Spanish, of course)".
She works at the local McDonalds now. Yuck !
Illegal anger? Tell it to YOUR PRESIDENTE, AMIGO!
Like the drug seizure laws, we need illegal alien asset seizures. This would pay for the deportations, provide judicial incentive to enforce the law, and dries up the pond scum the legal sharks thrive in to thwart existing immigration laws.
The passage of this bill was on the Phoenix evening news last night. There were a handful of people (~10) at the state capitol protesting, but there were many more people inside the capitol building cheering its passage.
We have had a couple of state ballot propositions dealing with illegal immigrants that have passed by overwhelming majorities. Most Arizonans will be happy if Gov. Brewer signs this into law.
Or a 1.5% fee added to out-of-country wire money transfers.
Funds to be redirected to the states, with stipulations for repayment to county hospital emergency rooms (for uncompensated non-emergency care of treatment of illegal immigrants).
Americans all over support Arizona and its attempts to curb Illegal Alienism....thanks
Now....time to get rid of Juan Hussein McCain.
Excellent move.
What about a statute providing that, in all matters requiring bail, illegal aliens shall be presumed to pose a substantial flight risk?
Border Ping
No, you dips**it! It's anti-illegal immigrant legislation!
I do not understand the mentality of these bleeding heart liberals who think the American taxpayer should be funding those that are not here legally. Screw 'em!
What else are we supposed to do?
Our national government has been treating illegal immigration as a joke for years.
It’s time to put up or shut up.
And no, we’re not going to grant lawbreakers a free pass.
I just hope the First Lady's got what it takes.......and that she brought enough kneepads to perform multiple Mexican BJs, ole. (/snix)
Obama will ignore Arizona----he'll kneel in obeisance to La Raza, and amnesty supporters on Capitol Hill...... to suckup illegal votes that will hopefully climax in Nov wins.
=============================
As FReeper Tammy8 insightfully posted: "Reid and company had a rally for amnesty on the very same day as the services for Rob Krentz. Has Obama made a statement about the Krentz murder? Has he made a statement about the cartel war causing issues in Ft Hancock, TX? Has Obama made a statement about the various home invasions both on and away from the border by illegals? "
Sickening. Dems could care less. Sucking up to non-citizens is more important than American lives. Illegals are another voting bloc they grab onto to save their sorry elected behinds.
I agree w/ Tancredo: DHS' Napolitano should resign in the wake of Rob Krentz' murder.
Americans are angry..........angry that they are forced to subsidize freeloading lawbreakers from other countries so politicians can get new voters, angry at the deterioration of our culture. Angry at our Nations deteriorating position in the world, at our debts and deficits, our spending and taxing, and their threatened security by drug cartels.
=============================================
WHY DO OHAHA AND THE DIMS SUPPORT AMNESTY? B/c druglords are South American Marxists. Dems figure they can spread Marxism quickly throughout the US by amnestying Marxists (NOTE: druglords are bringing drugs and more illegal voters through VZ and Cuba into the US).
============================================
REFERENCE Over and above the millions who violate our borders, 1.5 million legal foreign workers come to the US each year, as a matter of course.
But this number isnt high enough for Dem Cong Gutierrez and his 92 co-sponsors. Their Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill includes a provision called recapture that will add up all the supposedly unused work visas since 1992 and issue them immediately.
This is a complete fraud, as all unused work visas are rolled over to the family reunification category the next year as it is.
Gutierrez' Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill will create 100,000 visas from countries that send the most illegal immigrants every year. According to the State Department, this will mean 550,000 new foreign workers.
AND GET THIS Mexico is the staging area for Third World and other illegals preparing to violate our borders. The Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill rewards Mexico b/c they calculatedly promote illegal immigration.
Gutierrez' bill will make it much easier for more illegal aliens to break in. Under the Bill, to prove they have jobs and were in the country BEFORE Congress passed amnesty, illegals are allowed to use stolen ID's, fake green cards, and fraudulent SS numbers....... without fear of prosecution.
Mexico facilitates the profitable staging area for global illegals to cross the border. Contrary to Obamas claim that CIR bill will increase border security, it does just the opposite.........
<> it guts successful enforcement measures,
<> limits raids on illegal immigrants,
<> prohibits use of troops on the border,
<> replaces E-Verify used to ensure employers hire legal American workers,
<> overturns all state and local US laws that crackdown on illegal immigration,
<> abolishes 287(g) that allows local L/E and federal authorities to apprehend criminal illegals.
Gutierrez makes Van Jones look like a patriot.
The police state condition will end when the illegals all leave.
When they are harassed to distraction, they will all go to California
