Arizona’s Immigration Law (SB1070): A View From the A.C.L.U....In reality, S.B. 1070 is not about border enforcement and does not promote public safety. Instead, the law undermines the autonomy of all by giving police unchecked authority to harass anyone who looks or sounds foreign, and subjects everyone, including US citizens and legal residents, to unjustified detention and arrest. The law also discourages reporting of criminal activity and victimization to local law enforcement, making everyone less safe.
