PHOENIX (AP) -- The judge who will decide whether Arizona's new anti-illegal immigration law is constitutional hasn't indicated
whether she'll put it on hold before it takes effect next week.

But U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton went beyond dry legal
analysis at court hearings on Thursday to point out some of the
everyday realities of illegal immigration and how that applies to
the new law.

She noted that the federal government erected signs in a
wilderness area south of Phoenix that warn visitors about
immigrants and drug smugglers passing through public lands.

Bolton also says the stash houses where smugglers hide
immigrants from Mexico before bringing them into the country's
interior have become a fixture on the news in Arizona.
