Arizona has moved a step closer to enacting what’s being described as the harshest anti-immigrant measure in the country. On Monday, the Arizona State Senate approved a revised version of a bill that would force police officers to determine the immigration status of someone they suspect of being an undocumented immigrant. The Arizona House passed the measure last week. Republican Governor Jan Brewer is expected to sign it into law within the next five days. Immigrant rights groups say they might seek federal intervention to overturn the bill.
