Wow they sure are. Now can you tell me how they are going to afford it? Look at what they are doing. The penalties for being found in the country illegally are:
1. 6 months in Jail.
2. $2500 fine.
Option 1 cost the taxpayers money, because now your jails are going to get filled up and you are going to have to build more. This includes more guards, feeding prisoners, etc. With the amount of illegal immigratns there are, can Arizona afford it?
Option 2 in unrealistic. No illegal alien is going to give a shit about a fine, and good luck collecting it from them. They will just bail to somewhere else and leave the state SOL.
So really to me, unless they are up for funding option 1, then this is useless.
