Am seeing a lot of threads on the reactions to the Arizona legislation, but nothing on actually parsing the content. Here is the new Arizona law that is dominating the national headlines.
http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf
Give it a read. It's a 5-10 minute investment. (I printed it, which made it easier to review)
Did a quick read through it and am not finding the blatant civil rights violations that are being promoted by the protests. What sort of jumped out to me is that the bulk of the law is directed at employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. Guessing about 80%.
The sections that are addressing LEOs and their direct interaction with citizens are fairly well detailed. And are very specific about how they (LEOs) will process those that are determined to be present illegally. They, by the law, will be required to explicitlyl follow all current Federal Immigation policy and transfer the individual to Federal immigration authorities for appropriate legal action.
Anybody want to weigh in on what the basis for the over reaction is? My impression is that we have a whole lot of political hyperbole going on....
(full disclosure...pulled this over from another forum where i am getting little or no response. :ssst: )
