IMMIGRATION POLICIES OF ARIZONA, AND THE SOCIAL ISSUES INVOLVEDName:Grade Course:Tutor`s Name: (19, November, 2010) Immigration Policies of Arizona, and the Social Issues InvolvedAbstract Arizona records one of the highest numbers of illegal immigrants. For a long time there have been attempts to have regulations that would regulate the influx of the illegal immigrants into the state. In April 2010, the Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed the anti-immigrant bill that makes it illegal for an undocumented immigrant to be in the state. The bill popularly known as SB 1070 has been met with opposition as well as support by the public. Some have called it the strictest anti-immigrant regulation in the whole of the United States.

The law was found necessary from the fact that Arizona has had a very high number of immigrants, about half a million and most of them from Mexico (Stateline, 2005). Arizona State borders Mexico and it therefore receives a high number of illegal Mexican immigrants who, according to the supporters of the anti-immigrants law, have greatly contributed to the increased crime rate in Arizona. After the traditional immigrants were closed by the Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) 1994 Southwest Strategy the immigrants diverted the routes to pass through the desert area to get entry into Arizona and then to other cities in the U.S. (Armin & Reineke, 2010).
