Got this off BBC

Roadtoad it's a little more extensive than that, the penalties are much greater and deportation is stepped up. Instead of their customary one or two nights in jail and then release, to which they just keep on coming. I haven't read it all but it's quite a bit more than you are stating.

I agree with RT, the Arizona laws are nothing more then feel good legislation. Until the border is secure with a fence or other some sort of strong deterrent to have to cross, people will still come in. After all isnt illegal immigration illegal and there fore all illegal immigrants criminals? Why would they care about an extra law or two?

We need a SECURE BORDER more then anything. We need a fence, we need armed posts, and we need more boots on the ground. I dont want more laws and more infringement on my or any other citizens freedoms, just a secure border. On a side note, the original post is bogus, I know for a fact that foreigners can buy waterfront property in Mexico.
