In the House, 35 Republicans voted for it and 21 Democrats opposed it, reported the LA Times.
The bill would also allow police to arrest immigrants who don’t have paperwork showing their legality, reported Fox News.
"When you make life difficult," said state Sen. Russell Pearce, "most will leave on their own."
The Seattle TImes reported that Governor Jan Brewer is expected to sign it.
Chris Newman, Legal Director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, responded.
"Arizona is on the verge of enacting the most anti-immigrant legislation the country has seen in a generation,” he said. “Arizona has long been a laboratory for anti-immigrant experimentation, and its demagogue leaders have become folk heros for white supremacists throughout the United States, but this bill ushers in a new chapter of disgrace for the state that resisted celebrating the life of Martin Luther King."

Thanks for Important and Opportune Information on Arizona and Immigration
The Economic Reasons are extremely important and are ignored in the Heat of Discussions, and Economic Reasoning is despised by Stubborn People that constantly incessantly allege with lots of passion and derision and few Economics.
Latinos have filled the great vacuum of the Beverage and Foods Industry... ( because of the recession and low demand )...
These industries and services would have had great losses without the Latinos. There are now great marketing studies showing the impact of Latinos in many industries and how they have saved many businesses of Great Losses. Those figures come from these sources :
Analysis of Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey data for 2005 to 2008
Youth is the Greatest Treasure and a big percentage of Youngsters are Minorities or Non-Whites.
In this year 2010 more than 50% of babies born in America are non-White.
There is no better way to sink a nation than to expel, expulse, extradite, drive out and kick out the youngsters that are studying in high schools, colleges, universities, etc .....
Progroms have sunk many nations in the past, or at least caused great economic damage.
But many people want to live in "Elmer Gantry", "The Great Gatsby" and "Gone with the Wind".....
In my site MILENIALS.COM I study the Demographic and Economic impact of Latinos.
