WHYY’s Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane

Arizona's new immigration law will require law enforcement officials to check the residency status of those thought to be in the country illegally. The questions arising from this state law have prompted another call for immigration reform on the national level. Joining host Marty Moss-Coane to debate and discuss the issue are Peter Spiro and Jan Ting, professors of law at Temple’s Beasley School of Law. "There’s a growing consensus that carrying registration documents or some form of identification is important. It’s an idea that is gaining support in this post 9/11 age," said Ting. "The question is how the law will be enforced on the ground. Are police in Arizona going to stop individuals on the basis of suspicion of unauthorized presence?" said Spiro.
