Arizona voters on Election Day approved a sweeping ballot measure that would allow state and local law enforcement to arrest immigrants suspected of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border outside of ports of entry, while empowering state judges to order deportations. Proposition 314, which creates a series of state crimes targeting immigrants, is modeled after a similar measure in Texas known as S.B. 4 that is currently under review by the U.S. Supreme Court. Only certain portions of Prop 314 are scheduled to go into effect later this month, while the most harmful parts won’t be enforced until the Supreme Court rules on the constitutionality of the Texas law. The measure has drawn comparisons to Arizona’s controversial S.B. 1070, a 2010 law that also gave local police authority to arrest immigrants suspected of being undocumented, though large parts of it were later struck down by the Supreme Court. For more, we speak with Tucson-based activist Alejandra Pablos, who was targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for her activism and has been facing deportation proceedings for years. “People who are speaking out are the first to feel the chills,” Pablos says of Trump’s looming anti-immigrant crackdown. She urges the Biden administration to do what it can to mitigate the harm, including by closing deportation cases against people like her.

Time to be highly selective with immigration. Merit, skills and means testing for ALL "newcomers".
Did she say she was in prison? If so she doesn't even belong here in the USA and needs to go.
You're not AMerican so stop telling us how to run our country. Get the fuck out!!
No illegal has any rights in this country
Due to the mass 2.7 billion dollars illegally uptain via individual payroll taxes and SS per year. They will only deport criminals and a very small percentage of illegal immigrates.
Why are they not going after the Owners of the big corporations whom employ them knowingly?
MSNBC NOW !
"our people" – that a problem in itself. She is not referencing American people. She is referring to foreign people who are braking Anerican laws to come here illegally. Didn't she herself overstay her Visa??
The entitlement to expect last-minute accommodations after years of neglecting the process is a self-inflicted issue. They put their families in this predicament, and the blame should rest with the parents. Our focus should now shift to addressing homelessness in America. PERIOD!
