Arizona Voters Support Controversial Ballot Measures on Immigration and Child Trafficking
Arizona voters approved Proposition 314, empowering law enforcement to arrest illegal crossers and Proposition 313, imposing life sentences for child traffickers.
Overview
In recent elections, Arizona voters passed two controversial measures: Proposition 314 allows law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants crossing outside official ports, and Proposition 313 imposes mandatory life sentences for child sex trafficking. Despite claims of enhancing child protection, critics warn these laws could lead to racial profiling and disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. Both measures reflect a broader national trend towards stricter immigration and anti-trafficking policies, amid legal challenges expected to arise due to potential conflicts with federal law enforcement power.
