Tough Arizona immigration law draws criticism

The Associated Press reports:

PHOENIX (AP) – Civil rights activists Wednesday warned that Arizona is inviting rampant racial profiling and police-state tactics if it enacts what would be the toughest law in the nation against illegal immigrants.


The measure – on the verge of approval in the Legislature – would make it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It would require local police to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal.
