Argument: Arizona law burdens immigrants who must carry papers

Issue Report: Arizona illegal immigration law

Support

Alessandra Soler Meetze, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Arizona: “If this law were implemented, citizens would effectively have to carry ‘their papers’ at all times to avoid arrest. It is a low point in modern America when a state law requires police to demand documents from people on the street.”[1]
