Partes de la Propuesta 314 de Arizona no entrarán en vigor a menos que el tribunal federal declare constitucional la Ley de Texas SB 4, ya que está basada en esa ley. Iowa y Oklahoma están a la espera de que entren en vigor leyes similares.

José Patiño, vice president of education and external affairs for Aliento—a migrant advocacy group—urged the community to speak up: make calls to the governor to make sure no extra money is allocated to prop 314, and hold Senator-elect Ruben Gallego and Senator Mark Kelly accountable to advocating for human dignity.

Proposition 314 makes it a state crime to cross the border unlawfully, allows police to arrest and enforce to arrest and deport migrants.

President-elect Donald Trump made mass deportations his signature campaign promise, and in his victory speech. He asserted that voters gave him “an unprecedented and powerful mandate.”

The measure will also require state and local agencies to check someone’s legal status in addition to what is already required by federal law before they can qualify for public benefits, and will further criminalize submitting false paperwork for employment or public benefits, such as healthcare.

Arizona voted to grant state and local police the authority to make immigration arrests, going against Supreme Court precedent.
