Arizona is one of the fastest growing Latino immigrant destinations in the United States. Within the last five years, a series of responses by Arizonans intending to make life for unauthorized immigrants increasingly impossible have been implemented at the state and local level. The number of vigilante organizations along the border, anti-immigrant policies and targeting for deportation activities by local police have increasingly risen. In 2010, then Arizona state senator Russell Pearce maintained that the federal government had been hampering the immigration enforcement actions of police. Therefore, he introduced the “Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act.” Better known as SB 1070, the policy allows police officers in Arizona to arrest unauthorized immigrants under the state’s trespassing law. The law also gives officers the latitude to question and detain those that may appear suspicious. For many, this means those that look Latino. Under the State's statute, immigrants can also be criminalized for their mere presence in Arizona, the law makes it a crime for an unauthorized immigrant to seek or engage in work. Furthermore, the policy also allows officers to arrest someone without warrant if there is probable cause. And it makes it a state crime if a legal immigrant does not carry identification. On April 23, 2010, the governor signed SB 1070 into law, generating a number of immensely complex issues at the state, national, and international levels. The measure has affected an already problematic U.S.–Mexico, bi-national relationship at a time of increased security cooperation between the two countries. Furthermore, the President of Mexico criticized the law, issuing a travel advisory. Trade between Arizona and Mexico has been reduced. Elected officials across the country called for a variety of economic boycotts and campaigns that would discourage the full implementation of the law. Over 15 major cities have ended business contracts with Arizona. And the state tourism industry lost almost one-billion dollars in less than 6 months as a result of this policy.
