A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, WITHOUT A WARRANT, MAY ARREST A PERSON IF THE OFFICER HAS PROBABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT THE PERSON HAS COMMITTED ANY PUBLIC OFFENSE THAT MAKES THE PERSON REMOVABLE FROM THE UNITED STATES.Just what is probable cause? How do you know someone is illegal? Here's what else it does:
It also makes it a state crime, a misdemeanor, to not carry immigration papers. It also allows people to sue local governments or agencies if they believe federal or state immigration law is not being enforced. NYTArizona has a big immigration problem but it picked the wrong way to deal with it. John McCain ought to be ashamed of himself for supporting it.

Did you hear that Utah is going to kill a murderer on death row by firing squad? Who does that anymore?
