Arizona Introduces “Omnibus” Immigration Bill

The Bill, SB-1611 would bar children from K-12 education if they couldn’t produce a U.S.-issued birth certificate or naturalization document and forbid undocumented immigrants from driving in the state or accessing public benefits. Individuals who are caught driving will face a month of jail time and forfeit the car.

SB-1611 also makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor if a public employee failed to report violations of national immigration laws—such a violation is currently a Class 2 misdemeanor. Identity theft would result in 180 days of jail time. SB 1611 would also bar undocumented immigrants from enrolling in community colleges, entirely. It also requires Arizona businesses to use E-Verify.
