No biased opinions, please, i just want to know all that's in this new Immigration law that Arizona is making because all I ever hear are biases and not legitimate information. Also, are other states considering this new law?|||The following link will provide you a copy of SB1070 right off of the state of AZ's own government web site. If you are interested in an unbiased account of the law i would recommend sticking to government sites as i have heard of sites editing/photoshopping their copies of the bill in order to make their biased point.

The short version of the law is 2 fold
1) SB1070 makes being in this country illegally a crime punishable by jail time and deportation after released.
2) AZ police that are lawfully interacting with an individual may ask that person to prove citizenship if and only if the officer has reasonable suspicion that the individual may be in the country illegally.
Texas has drafted similar versions of this bill and may be voting on it in Nov, depending on how well it works out for AZ.|||here is the bill: http://www.azcentral.com/ic/community/pd鈥?/a>
and the amendments: http://www.azcentral.com/ic/community/pd鈥?/a>
If you want something a bit easier to read, here is a good commentary on the law: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/con鈥?/a>|||you can find probably find the answer here.
