    UPDATE: Arizona House rejects immigration enforcement bill
    PHOENIX — The Arizona House has defeated a bill that would have made it the only state in the nation to criminalize the presence of illegal immigrants by expanding its trespassing law.



    The House voted 26-15 for the bill to expand Arizona's trespassing law Wednesday morning, but that was five votes short of the 31 needed for passage. The Senate approved the bill 16-11 earlier Wednesday.

    Supporters say an expanded trespassing law would provide a second layer of enforcement to help local police catch immigrants who slip past federal agents.

    Opponents predicted it would lead to racial profiling for thousands of Latinos who are U.S. citizens.

    Illegal immigrants account for an estimated 500,000 people in Arizona's 6.5 million population.

    PREVIOUS STORY: Ariz. Senate OKs strict immigration enforcement bill
    Arizona has moved a step closer to becoming the only state to criminalize
    the presence of illegal immigrants through an expansion of its trespassing law.

    A 16-11 vote by the Arizona Senate early Wednesday would criminalize the presence of illegal immigrants in the state. The measure must still be approved in the House and signed by Gov. Jan Brewer.

    Supporters say local police enforcing an expanded trespassing law would provide a second layer of enforcement to catch immigrants who slip past federal agents.

    Opponents predict it would lead to racial profiling that would target thousands of Latinos who are U.S. citizens.

    Illegal immigrants account for an estimated 500,000 people in Arizona's 6.5 million population.

    Next stop will be the ballot and Arizonans will vote it in.

    That's how we've gotten much of our other enforcement measures out here.

    LOL.....it's not so much about being right RB. It's just the way it's always pretty much happened out here.....something gets hung up in the legislature.....which btw, Russell Pearce always goes in assuming will happen.....it goes to the ballot and we voters have gotten it established.

    I can't imagine that this will be any different.

    Here in NY getting anything on a Public Ballot is almost unheard of.
