Some Arizona schools have policemen on their campuses. The new immigration law, slated to go into effect in July if it is not stalled by court action or initiatives, Â requires all police officers in the state to become immigration enforcers. If the police do not arrest people without papers they “reasonably suspect” of being in the country illegally, the law gives Arizona residents the right to sue the employers of the police agencies–which could be either the state, or a county, or cities and towns.
At taxpayer expense.
What effect does this have on Arizona schools, where Spanish speakers drop their kids off every day? Will the police officers be forced to ask the parents for papers?
School officials are grappling with this problem right now.
