Does California have the same immigration law as California?

No ITs Not The Same There Laws Are Different. And By The Way You Might Want To Check YOur Question And Fix It From California To Arizona

The two laws are very similiar. But more to the point is that California DOES HAVE an immigration law. And has had one for about three years. Wachusa you are grasping at straws because parts of 834b actually afford Calif. law enforcement more latitude that our Az. law. Maybe the Californian's should boycott themselves!

The Arizona law just reinforces the federal law on immigration. California does have the same law except unlike Arizona, it doesn't have any language that requires police to ask for papers during a routine stop. In California, they can just ask a hispanic for their papers.

Great job on writing out your question!

As I understand it...

Immigration laws are Federal not state. What Arizona is doing is making immigration a state issue. So "technically" the same law applies in California at a Federal level not state. Which is why here in CA a police cop doesn't have the right to demand proof of citizenship.

Does California have the same immigration law as California?

All states are covered by Federal immigration law. California has nothing even remotely like the Arizona law.

Note to Krazykaulitzgirl: You might want to do a bit more research into John McCain and his position in government.

the history repeat itself Nazism antisemitic ideology and policies lead to looking for german jews all over Germany today racism ideology and discriminatory policies put illegal immigrants in the same situation of German Jews what the current Arizona new immigration law bring to our state? the new law still wait for 90 days till will become effective but the spanish community doesn't know that our streets are empty right now our stores claim a lost of costumers people decide to hide into their homes all this remind me when the German Jews decide to hide to avoid nazi gestapo capture moral it doesn't matter what is your personal opinions about the new Arizona immigration law because the new law is nothing else of a gestapo operation and believe or not its happening in America different ages different countries same story who say that US Citizen

California's immigration law is word for word exactly the same as California's immigration law.

The immigration law SB1070 is only enforced in Arizona. It is not in California. Arizona is one of the most conservative states while California is super liberal. They don't hold the same laws. And also John McCain who was the Republican candidate for this past presidential election is the governor of Arizona. The law is state wide and not nation wide. even president Obama says that he disagrees with it.

I think I know what you meant. CA, ironically, has the toughest anti-illegal migrant law in the nation. City governments have just chosen to ignore it in order to pander to legal Latino voters. The result is sanctuary cities and triple the number of illegals of any other state. L.A. County alone has between 3 and 5 million. Now you know why we're broke.
