Alright, today, let's get into the immigration issue in the U.S. On April 23, 2010 the governor of the Arizona Jan Brewer signed the Senate Bill 1070 (1) into a law, and have become effective in 90 days from the signing. SB1070 is sponsored by Arizona senator Russell Pearce, and House Bill (HB) 2162 (2) in 2010 made changes to the SB1070.
From the fact sheet of the SB1070 i found that this bill is to require authorities of the state and political subdivisions to cooperate and assist the enforcement of federal immigration laws and gives county attorneys subpoena power(information extraction) in certain investigations of employers, and clamp down on crimes involving trespassing by illegal aliens, stopping to hire or soliciting work under specified conditions, and transporting, harboring or concealing unlawful aliens, and their respective penalties (3). In other words, this bill sanctions that federal immigration agencies and county attorneys the full power to investigate, if necessary "force" the information out of anyone who is suspected of being illegal in the state of Arizona.
