A controversial immigration bill is making its way through Arizona's capitol – the Secure the Border Act.Republicans want the issue to go to the November ballot, which would side-step a likely veto by Governor Katie Hobbs.HCR 2060, a House Concurrent Resolution, is modeled after a bill in Texas and is currently in the courts. Critics insist it’s similar to SB 1070, which was ultimately found mostly unconstitutional.

There has to be probable cause that you entered not at a port of entry, and that you’re an alien. To make that contact with somebody, you have to have probable cause," said Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes.Democrats call the bill unconstitutional, unnecessary and divisive. They walked out of a committee hearing in March over the same issue.
