NEW: The Arizona Governor also signed HB2162 (PDF), an amendment to the original SB1070. HB2162 changes “lawful contact” to “lawful stop, detention or arrest.” HB2162 removes the word “solely” from "may not solely consider race, color or national origin in implementing the requirements of this subsection." HB2162 also reduces some fines, etc.

SUMMARY OF THE NEW ARIZONA LAW (SB 1070):

● Mirrors the federal law that since 1940 requires aliens to register and carry their documents with them.[2]
● Targets ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Americans do not oppose legal immigration. Why is it racist to ask people to come through the front door?
● Will NOT give police the power to pick anyone out of a crowd for any reason and force them to prove they are in the U.S. legally.[2]
● Reasonable Suspicion:...
