• What that means: This is the most clearly written part of the statute and what should be the headline of any story about the new law, Chin said.
This makes any illegal immigrant who is working or trying to get work - for example, by showing up at popular gathering spots for day laborers - at risk of being arrested by an Arizona law enforcement officer. This is a big change, because previously, a non-citizen did not commit a state crime by working or seeking work, Chin said.

This is really nice. Make it a criminal offense to work in the AZ if you are an illegal alien, but they're just going to let all the employers, who want to cheat the system by paying for cheap labor with no benefits, keep hanging that carrot that lures the indigent Mexicans over the border looking for a better life. Of course, they have an addition to the law that makes it illegal to pick up illegal aliens IF you block traffic!
