This law is doomed. Under cover of being rationalized as an answer in small part to illegal immigration, it stinks of just being a vehicle for extreme right wing knuckleheads to self-aggrandize and pat themselves on the back for legislating the legal cover they want to harass out of the country those who don't fit into their american ideal.
How does one "look" like an illegal alien? When did looking for work and being willing to take it at a lower wage, even if it costs one bourgeous american ideal his job, become an immigration issue?
Texas,with it's secessionist governor is facing a 17billion dollar shortfall in the next couple of years that has the education industry I work in shaking in its boots. I can ony imagine the shape Arizona is in. For all their bluster about "doing something" about immigration in the face of lapses by the federal government, they can't afford this..........and they know it. Their politicians are just pandering.
It is only a matter of time before tourist dollars dry up and blow away, just as they did over their MLK fiasco.
Hitting the elite in their pockets eventually brings them to their senses.
