Arizona H-1B Workers Advised to Carry Papers At All Times

dcblogs writes "In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling Monday on Arizona's immigration enforcement law, H-1B workers are being advised to keep their papers on them. About half of all H-1B visa holders are employed in tech occupations. The court struck down several parts of Arizona's law but nonetheless left in place a core provision allowing police officers to check the immigration status of people in the state at specific times. How complicated this gets may depend on the training of the police officer, his or her knowledge of work visas, and whether an H-1B worker in the state has an Arizona's driver's license. An Arizona state driver's license provides the presumption of legal residency. Nonetheless, H-1B workers could become entangled in this law and suffer delays and even detention while local police, especially those officers and departments unfamiliar with immigration documentation."

I'm convinced that the state of Arizona just hates anyone that either isn't white, or from the US.

Oh, c'mon !

This is entirely a right-wing issue, and the flames of racism are being fanned entirely by so-called "conservatives"

Oh, c'mon !!!

If blaming everything on the "Conservatives" can make America a better place, you'll have my full support

But it ain't gonna be that way

You insisted that there is no liberal ever support the illegals, in fact, you said:

I've literally never, in my entire life, heard any self-described "liberal" say this.

Well, isn't Obama a "Liberal" ?

What about Obama's Immigration Directive ?
