Proposition 314 would make it a crime under Arizona law to cross the border illegally – allowing police to arrest anyone who can’t prove U.S. citizenship or legal residency and state courts to order deportations.Immigration enforcement is a federal power, and federal courts have so far blocked similar laws in Texas and other states. Advocates for civil liberties and migrants warn that such “show me your papers” laws put Americans with darker skin and accents at risk.
One key element of SB 1070 survived – a provision requiring police to demand papers of anyone suspected of being in the country illegally. Arizona ended that practice in 2016, though, as part of a settlement with immigrant rights groups. Taking the legal challenges into account, Proposition 314 would only take effect once the Texas law or any similar law in another state has been in effect for 60 days.
But courts have yet to agree that drug smugglers and unarmed migrants – as opposed to a foreign army – could trigger that clause.
