More on immigration and local law enforcement

Arizona’s governor has vetoed a bill similar to the one that Assemblyman Greg Ball has introduced in New York, 
seeking to have county and state police take on immigration duties.
Gov. Janet Napolitano said she opposed the bill because of the costs involved, though the outcry was similar to the one in New York. Opponents said that the move would alienate Hispanics and subject them to racial profiling. (About the costs: Immigration-enforcement training is funded by the feds, but Napolitano said the funding is extremely limited and the bill would require Arizona taxpayers to cover the rest.)
Greg Ball argues his case in favor of his bill (and against the newspaper) on today’s Opinion page.
Damon Jones of Westchester Blacks in Law Enforcement gave his side here.
