Because it is not fair to discriminate all the immigrants when some of the have been here for over 10 years and really deserve papers.
The Arizona immigration law is basically a state level reflection of Federal law. Arizona passed the law at a state level so they would have authority to enforce the law, since the federal government refuses to enforce it.
The Arizona law was passed because of growing frustration over illegal immigration.
It's no way near as good as the Arizona immigration ted
Making a GREAT immigration law!

Arizona law enforcement officers are still required to observe reasonable suspicion and probable cause requirements to stop, detain and/or arrest someone, the same as before Arizona's new immigration law took effect. The new law allows officers to question people they detain to determine their immigration status. Prior to that law taking effect, immigration questions could constitute a violation of the detainee's civil rights, as Arizona LE officers were not empowered to enforce immigration laws.
the new immigration law in Arizona (SB 1070) was signed into law when Jan Brewer (Arizona's Governor) singed the papers in 27 of April 2010.

The impetus behind introducing it and passing it is "the will of the people" of Arizona as expressed by their elected representatives to the state legislature. Much of the actual wording of the law follows, and comes from the wording of the US Federal statutes.
The US Dept. of Justice is filing suit against the State of Arizona over the state's new law regarding immigration enforcement. The justification being used is what is called the "supremacy clause" of the US Constitution. This clause states that what is regulated by the federal government cannot be impinged upon by any individual state (or group of states). Immigration law has been the purview of the federal government. However, the State of Arizona plans to argue that it is merely attempting to enforce federal immigration law, rather than create a new law. This issue will, most likely, rise to the level of the Supreme Court.
To become an immigration lawyer, it is necessary to complete law school. Choose a law school that has strong immigration courses and stays current on immigration issues. Interning at a law firm that specializes in immigration law will also be very helpful.
