Border security was a huge issue on Tuesday night.
Arizona voters approved Proposition 314, allowing local law enforcement to arrest suspected illegal aliens.
It won by a large margin, 62.6% to 37.2%:
Proposition 314 makes it a state crime for people to illegally enter Arizona from Mexico outside official ports of entry, permitting local and state law enforcement officers to arrest them and state judges to order their deportations. Those who enforce the law would be shielded from civil lawsuits.The proposal won’t go into effect immediately, requiring a similar law in Texas or another state to be in effect for 60 consecutive days before a violator can be prosecuted.Republican lawmakers in Arizona argued the proposal would help secure the border after the Biden administration dealt with an unprecedented surge of illegal immigration.
The measure makes it a felony “to submit false information or documents for employment or public benefits.”
Plus, it “makes the sale of fentanyl a class 2 felony if the person knowingly sold the drug and another person dies because of the substance.”
