Instead of focusing on community safety, law enforcement professionals in Arizona and other states with anti-immigrant laws will be forced to focus more on detaining unauthorized immigrants. As Sgt. A key safeguard of public health is a robust immunization program that protects all residents against diseases such as chicken pox, measles, polio, and even the flu.
But if parents are afraid to get flu shots for themselves or their children, even though the law technically says that lawful status is not required for immunizations, our whole society is put at risk.
States have no authority to deport immigrants from this country—that power falls solely to the federal government. At best immigrants either leave the state for a friendlier one or go deeper underground. She said the new state bill would give more Arizona graduates a chance to stay in the state for college. Known as the "show me your papers" law, SB required state law enforcement to ask those deemed suspicious of being undocumented to present proof of legal immigration status during routine traffic stops.
It also made it a misdemeanor crime to be caught without those papers. It was the strictest anti-immigration legislation in the country at the time and a measure many worried would easily lead to racial profiling. The law was was partially struck down by the Supreme Court just two years later, in But Cesar Escalante, a professor of agriculture and applied economics at the University of Georgia, said its ripple effects were broad and long-lasting.
Escalante co-authored a paper on the topic with University of Florida researcher Tianyuan Luo. Using responses from the nationwide Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System survey, the researchers found that in the wake of SB , Latino adolescents in Arizona were more than five percentage points more likely to consider suicide than their white peers or Latinos in other states.
The Court next turned to Section 5 C of S. Unlike Section 3, Section 5 C has no counterpart in federal law. Although Arizona argued that Section 5 C does not conflict with any federal laws because the federal system only deals with employers, and does not make it a crime for undocumented workers to work in this country, the Court was unmoved.
The third and final provision that the Court struck down was Section 6 of S. It would allow police officers to arrest someone without a warrant if the police officer has probable cause to believe that the individual has done something that would justify his deportation from the United States.
Under the federal system, an undocumented immigrant can only be arrested and held for possible removal if there is a warrant for his arrest or if he is likely to escape before police can get a warrant. Because Section 6 would give state law enforcement officials a much broader power to make arrests than under the federal system, the Court concluded, it cannot stand.
Much of the late April oral argument in the case focused on Section 2 B of S. At oral argument in April, it seemed likely that the provision could survive, and it did — at least for now. Citing language in the Arizona law that prohibits police officers from considering race or national origin, the Court held that the provision could at least go into effect for now.
But it left open the possibility that opponents of the law could return to court to challenge it once it has been enforced and Arizona courts have a chance to interpret it. The Supreme Court made quite clear that the key to the provision surviving in the future will be whether it is interpreted in a way that does not prolong detentions of people who are stopped by police. The upshot is that if a person is arrested, Arizona can check his immigration status while it holds him.
But if the person is merely detained — for example, at a traffic stop — the immigration check will probably take too long and he will probably have to be released. The check can then continue without the individual there. And S.
