I wonder...as an American you aren't required to have a passport unless you travel outside of the country. If this law forces anyone in Arizona to purchase a passport will the state of Arizona be required to pay for it?i didn't add an illegal act, why did you?
but there's no such thing as jaywalking in ny. well there is, but no one in the history of time has ever been stopped for it.
i have a better one though. say i look hispanic or have an accent. i get pulled over for a routine stop. i'm a citizen so all i have is my drivers' license and reggistration.
do i now need my passport?
in nyc? nope.
in AZ? yup...
And how will this affect people voting in elections? Will a passport be required as well...that is certainly interacting with the government.
I'm afraid jillian is misinformed. There is no requirement to have a passport in Arizona. What the law says is that "a reasonable attempt shall be made to determine the immigration status....." If a person has a VALID driver's license there is no need for any attempt further to verify their immigration status. Oh, and someone here on a Greencard or Vise is REQUIRED to have it with them AT ALL TIMES.

it says you have to ascertain citizenship status. i am not misinformed. you are misstating the facts, though.
