While I don't think anyone agrees with illegal immigration, this law is wrong on so many levels. My understanding of the most recent 'clarification' is that the police can only question immigration status through lawful contact, ie suspected criminal or civil infraction. I thought that was the status quo, but maybe I am wrong. If so, then what was the intent of the law but to muddy the waters and stick the taxpayers of Arizona with the expense of a federal function....?
