AZ: Panel endorses local immigration enforcement bill

Panel endorses local immigration enforcement bill
PHOENIX (AP) - A committee of the Arizona Senate has approved a bill that would criminalize the presence of illegal immigrants in the state.
The bill would expand Arizona's trespassing law to let local authorities arrest those who sneak into the country. It also would allow people to sue city officials who limit the full enforcement of federal immigration law.
Proponents say the bill is necessary because local authorities could help lessen border woes in Arizona, the busiest illegal entry point into the United States.
Many local police bosses in Arizona have resisted that push, saying it would detract from their traditional roles in investigating routine crime.
The Senate Appropriations committee approved the bill on an 8-3 vote.
