Summary:

Analyzes S.B. 1070, enacted by Arizona on Apr. 23, 2010, which provides measures to discourage and deter entry or presence of aliens who lack lawful status under Federal immigration law; including requiring State and local law enforcement officials to facilitate detection of unauthorized aliens in their daily enforcement activities; and establishing additional criminal penalties under State law. Discusses major provisions of S.B.1070 and the legal and constitutional considerations possibly implicated by their implementation, focusing primarily on those provisions that require State enforcement of Federal immigration law and that impose criminal penalties for immigration-related conduct; and discusses preemption and racial profiling issues that might be raised by these measures
