On April 23, 2010, Arizona Governor Janice K. Brewer signed the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act (SOLESNA), or Arizona Senate Bill 1070 (SB 1070, as it is popularly known). The purpose of the law is to “…deter and discourage the illegal entry and presence of aliens and economic activity by persons unlawfully present in the United States” (Senate Bill 1070, 2010). Arizona Senate Bill 1070 is considered one of the harshest anti-immigration laws due to its enforcement. However, it is not the first law of its kind. Geographically, Arizona is prime for an anti-immigration bill like SB 1070, as it is one of four states (including California, Texas and New Mexico) that border Mexico. Previously, Arizona had passed laws such as Proposition 200 in 2004, “which prohibited the provision of public benefits to illegal aliens and required proof of citizenship when individuals registered to vote” (Kobach, 2011). Then followed Arizona's human trafficking law in 2005 and the Legal Arizona Workers Act of 2007, “which made Arizona the first state in the nation to require all businesses to use the federal E-Verify program to confirm employee work authorization” (Kobach, 2011). Although a bill like SB 1070 can generate much controversy, support for its enactment can be traced back to Rob Krentz, an Arizona farmer who “was shot and killed 30 miles from Douglas, In Arizona, almost a month before the bill passed” (Long -Garcia, 2010). Although no one was charged with the crime, local authorities believed it was an act of drug traffickers. According to The Battle for Arizona by Nathan Thornburgh, Krentz's death raised issues that had been talked about before the accident but were not addressed (midway through the paper).
