New Immigration Bill In AZ

Headline Legal News

AP is reporting that Arizona has inched closer to making all illegal immigrants in the state criminals.

The Arizona Senate voted 16-11 early today to expand its trespassing laws, making the presence of illegal immigrants a crime. The House must approve the bill and Gov. Jan Brewer must sign it before it would become law.

If passed, Arizona would be the first with such a law.

Supporters say this would provide law enforcement with another layer to combat illegal immigrants who slip past federal agents.

Opponents, on the other hand, believe this could lead to racial profiling and discrimination.

CHICAGO BUSINESS & CORPORATE LITIGATION LAWYERS

When faced with a legal challenge, your attorneys should help you identify your goals at the beginning of the process. Thereafter, every action that follows must be undertaken with the aim of meeting those goals. Wasted effort equals wasted time and money, that’s something you cannot afford and your attorneys must respect this concept. At Roth Law Group, we counsel our clients to confront their legal challenges aggressively, but with purpose.

As an attorney and small business owner, I apply the same concepts in taking on my client’s legal challenges.
