Excerpt:

As the Competitive Enterprise Institute's top immigration policy analyst, Alex Nowraste, notes: "The (Arizona) law should be called the ‘Job Destruction and Crime Promotion Act of 2010'. Placing more restrictions on Arizona employers, who are already required to use the federal government's E-Verify tracking system, will only make an economic recovery less likely in the Grand Canyon State. Furthermore, it will overburden Arizona's already fiscally-strapped police departments with the impossible task of enforcing this law."

In other words, the law is anti-business and anti-law enforcement.
