The most recent bill that greatly impacts Arizona is Arizona Senate Bill 1070. It requires all aliens 14 years and older, who intend on remaining longer than 30 days in the U.S, to carry necessary documents to prove that they are in the country legally. Many people have said that this causes racial profiling, because it allows boarder patrols to ask anyone who they suspect to be illegal aliens to take out their documentation. This bill has caused much uproar among the other states; It is considered controversial. I personally do not carry around my passports. Sometimes I don't even remember to take my wallet, so I have no identification documents on me except for my school books. It is unrealistic to always carry around my passport and visa. Also, I will be more likely to lose my documents if I always carry them around, thus increasing my risk of becoming an undocumented alien.
