Democratic Arizona Senate leaders are rejecting the bipartisan Laken Riley Act, a tough immigration bill in Congress.
The article discusses a controversial bill in Arizona, supported by Democratic Senators Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema, as well as Governor Katie Hobbs, which aims to address crimes committed by migrants. Democratic state senators have condemned this bill, arguing that it promotes racial profiling and could lead to the criminalization of immigrants. Critics, including Senator Anna Hernandez, have labeled the legislation as xenophobic and fear-mongering, suggesting it targets the Latino community unfairly. The bill, which has passed the state Senate, would impose harsher penalties for crimes committed by undocumented immigrants, including making it a felony to enter the state after deportation. Despite the backlash, supporters like Senator Gallego argue that the bill is necessary to protect public safety and enforce immigration laws more stringently.
