Controversial Immigration Law of Arizona Costs $141 Million!

In accordance with a study, an estimated sum of US$141 million has been lost by Arizona after the state had passed the controversial law on immigration little months. The Center for American Progress (CAP) has brought out a story which estimates that about 2,800 jobs in Arizona in the coming instant few years. The major reason for this loss of jobs is the annulment of meetings which have been taking place continually because of the protests in opposition to this law.

As said by the report, this loss of job would absolutely hinder the financial system of the state by more than a quarter billion US dollars. In addition, over 86 million would be misplaced which would have catered to wages if not.

This controversial law on immigration was brought in a few months back. The controversial provisions in the law incorporated the police to be given the power to question and detain suspects who might be living and working unlawfully in the state. In other words, they would be given the responsibility of immigration agents tour of duty throughout the state. A lot of have objected to this law claiming that this could lead to ethnic profiling.

On the other hand, some of the clauses in the law have been allowed to be put into practice. This prohibits the execution of the above mentioned provisions which have been blocked. These provisions were blocked after the Obama management made appeals in the court. In keeping with them, the state authorities do not have power to execute federal laws.

As indicated by above mentioned study, such immigration laws and policies would lead to more of impacts which can be measured as being catastrophic in nature. This would additional lead to other state authorities to implement such policies.

CAP has lastly stated that this would directly hit the visitor spending and that too, at a time when the economic start is in fact not very good.
