Arizona immigration law to strain jails
Mon Jun 14, 5:04 pm ET
Arizona officials are still wrestling with how to enforce the immigration law set to take effect at the end of July. But whatever they do, they'll have to dramatically increase their ability to absorb prisoners, reports the Arizona Republic's J.J. Hensley.
Under new law, people who don't have immigration documents can be charged with a misdemeanor punishable by 20 days in jail and a $100 fine. The cost to the arresting agency to jail someone for 20 days is about $1,600.
So if 2,000 people are found guilty, the state or county government would need to spend $3.2 million on jailing them. Over the past three years in Maricopa County alone, local authorities referred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) 2,000 illegal immigrants not accused of committing another crime.
Under the new law — which requires that when police conduct a lawful stop or arrest, they ask for proof of immigration status from people they suspect of being in the U.S. illegally — local police will presumably find more illegal immigrants than before. And detainees will probably fall under local jurisdictions instead of being turned over to the ICE.
Meanwhile, state Treasurer Dean Martin, a Republican candidate for governor, has called for "tent cities" across Arizona to detain illegal immigrants. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a supporter of the immigration law, attracted national attention when he opened tent-city jails in 1993 outside Phoenix.
