Arizona "your papers please" immigration law

Idk about 50%, but I do believe some of most societal dangerous crimes are committed by people here illegally. Human and drug trafficking, etc. And I believe that it's pretty bad that if someone is here illegally and they commit a crime, that it's really hard to find them because they're not recorded, their prints aren't recorded; much less their DNA.  Last year I saw a story on a man who was killed buy a drunk driver in my state. the pickup that killed him was allegedly owned by an illegal immigrant, was not registered, and the guy just ran.

Also, illegal immigration allows lots of gang activity in general to increase. MS13 is considered one of the biggest gangs in the world, and it was started by illegal immigrants from El Salvador within the states.

We already DID that about 20 or so years ago, we alllowed amnesty to all illegals within the country htat were here 5 years or more. We can't just keep letting everybody in every 20 years just because they're closer.

Agreed on much of that. Cartels, human trafficking etc. all stem form lack of border control. However, I dont see how this really combats those issues. Sure i guess its like cutting off an entire arm to fix a broken hand. 

People have a problem because this law is nothign more than wool over peoples eyes and creates a divider and limits intelligent dialogue on the issue. The state has no right or authority to deport people, the provision only allows them to apprehend and jail the accused. The provision also allows the states citizens to actually sue officers or officials if they feel the officers arent doing ENOUGH to appreheand "illegals" 

Crime was at an all time low in 2008 when there were over 500,000 "illegal" immigrants in arizona, its not a safety issue its a talking point for election, and its being awfully cavalier with many peoples families and lives. 

As i said before, the emphasis is being placed on the wrong sector. The time and money would be much better spent allowing "illegals" to register quickly and easier rather prosecute them.

The thing that baffles me is this has already happened in Virginia and it was devastating in so many ways to the community and now Arizona wants to do it on a larger scale. Its absurd, the consequences are vastly larger than most people are discussing, socially and economically.
