Closing the doors to immigration
Enforcement of immigration controls in the United States has been left squarely on the state level while the federal government struggles in figuring out comprehensive immigration reform that could muster congressional approval. With a steadily weakening economy, states are now becoming tougher on illegal aliens.
Last year, Arizona passed a state law that would empower police officers to check a person’s immigration status even on the streets as well as require immigrants to carry their papers at all times. It was considered the nation’s toughest on illegal aliens at the time.
