PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona's tough immigration enforcement bill will
become law in the southwestern border state, despite being criticized
by President Barack Obama as "misguided." Gov. Jan Brewer signed the
bill into law Friday. It takes effect in 90 days after the current
legislative sessions in the next several weeks. The sweeping
legislation makes it a crime under state law to be in the country
illegally. It would also require local police officers to question
people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect
they are in the USA illegally.
