If it is illegal in Arizona for police to check resident status of someone they are arresting?

on another crime and uphold federal immigration law, requiring them to write a whole new law to allow police to do so, wouldn't that suggest lack of enforcement is actualy Arizona's fault rather than the federal government's?

What other states is it illegal for a police officer to investigate all details about a perp they are apprehending for another crime?

Update:

So Brian, then that would mean that if Arizona doesn't do it, then they are in violation of federal law huh?

And that this bill is in fact redundant BS or a blatent attempt to harass hispanics.

Update 2:

smsmith500, I bet you would have loved the USSR

Update 3:

Yes pete I wouldn't expect you to understand simple logic.

    In any state you go to if an officer of the law asks for proper ID you must produce it. I see nothing wrong with Arizona's effort to control the problem they are having, its a cinch the national government isn't doing it.

    The difference is that in Arizona even if you a violate a county ordinance, the police can ask for your papers. White people will not be asked, of course.
