Well be happy than, actually..... because that is NOT the law in AZ. You cannot be rounded up or stopped simply because of what you "look like"......The fact is the AZ law mirrors completely the current FEDERAL law already on the books..... They are simply saying "WE ARE GOING TO ENFORCE THE LAW"...... Meaning if you are stopped or involved in activities of which LE (law enforcement) is brought in.....Your citizenship or lack of it....will be questioned and if you are NOT legal (no matter the small violation of what caused you to be stopped)...your illegal status will be enforced and you will be sent out of the Country.
Which is exactly what should happen. That is exactly the type of "disincentive" that you talk about above......If at a moments notice, if you are here illegally, you can be removed (sans any of your belongings, family, etc, etc)...that is a pretty damn good incentive to once your work visa expires take the fruits of your labor and go back home ....to then lawfully reapply for another visa or to become a full citizen.
How can any serious adult be against such a simple and straightforward policy........We are becoming so childish in this nation that we are now debating wheather it is wrong to create a law that enforces already made laws on the books.....
