You're claiming that this won't affect legal immigrants. This is completely untrue. You are doing this, and lying your head off in the hope that people won't notice. They have.
You can be a perfectly legal immigrant, and if your papers are out of date because of federal processing delays - something you have no control over, and does not in any way per the federal government make your presence in America illegal or mean you won't proceed towards residency - then you're committing a crime simply by being in Arizona.
Absolutely sophistry. Strong, blatant, hysteric sophistry even. The only option you're giving them is "leave Arizona". That is what you are, directly, calling for by endorsing this law. Period.
(I don't care about the "wider issues", I'm discussing this law and it's impact)
