Senate backs wide range of curbs on immigrants- Without debate, the Senate on Monday approved a far-reaching measure designed to give police more power, and more impetus, to stop and arrest those who they believe are in the country illegally. SB 1070 would require police to make a "reasonable attempt" to determine the immigration status of anyone they come into contact with during an investigation. And it would make the mere presence of an illegal immigrant anywhere in Arizona a violation of state trespass laws.
Other provisions of the measure would:
Bar government agencies from having policies precluding employees from reporting someone seeking a permit, license or benefit to federal authorities if they are here illegally.
Prohibit undocumented workers from soliciting work in public places, and making it a crime for them to do any sort of work at all in Arizona.
Make it illegal to stop on a street to hire temporary workers.
Allow people to be arrested for transporting, concealing or harboring anyone if they knew or "recklessly disregarded the fact'' the person has entered this country illegally.
I'm not too sure about the highlighted part
