The law only requires that you have a reasonable suspicion that a crime is being committed for probable cause. Race can't be a factor leading to that. Not speaking English can be a factor leading up to that. Other factors could be manner of dress, lack of identification, forged identification, etc.

Assuming before the fact that race is going to be the controlling factor in these arrests betrays your own preconceived notions about illegal immigration, not Arizona's.
