Arizona's New Immigration Law Threatens Local Control and Communities.
Arizona's new immigration law, S.B. 1070, is not just about giving more power to local law enforcement. It actually takes away control from local communities and forces them to enforce immigration laws. This law doesn't change how immigration enforcement is balanced between federal and local levels, but it does threaten local autonomy. S.B. 1070 doesn't just target undocumented immigrants, but also local law enforcement agencies and the cities they serve. This could lead to serious consequences for local communities.
