By John Andrews Arizona Senate Bill 1070, which Obama, Holder, and Napolitano have harshly condemned without even reading it, merely authorizes the beleaguered state's police and sheriffs to enforce federal immigration law in fully constitutional fashion. Anyone can ascertain this simple fact by quickly perusing the 17-page bill, which really boils down to a single, short, sensible, carefully-drafted paragraph, Section 2B on the first page.
For your convenience, here is the official text of SB 1070 as provided by the Arizona legislature itself.

The complainant shall 19 not be required to list the complainant's social security number on the 20 complaint form or to have the complaint form notarized.

An action for a violation of subsection A of this section shall be 11 brought against the employer by the county attorney in the county where the 12 unauthorized alien employee is or was employed by the employer. The county 13 attorney shall not bring an action against any employer for any violation of 14 subsection A of this section that occurs before January 1, 2008. A second 15 violation of this section shall be based only on an unauthorized alien who is 16 or was employed by the employer after an action has been brought for a 17 violation of subsection A of this section or section 23-212.01, subsection A. 18 E. For any action in superior court under this section, the court 19 shall expedite the action, including assigning the hearing at the earliest 20 practicable date. 21 F. On a finding of a violation of subsection A of this section: 22 1. For a first violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this 23 subsection, the court: 24 (a) Shall order the employer to terminate the employment of all 25 unauthorized aliens. 26 (b) Shall order the employer to be subject to a three year 27 probationary period for the business location where the unauthorized alien 28 performed work. During the probationary period the employer shall file 29 quarterly reports in the form provided in section 23-722.01 with the county 30 attorney of each new employee who is hired by the employer at the business 31 location where the unauthorized alien performed work. 32 (c) Shall order the employer to file a signed sworn affidavit with the 33 county attorney within three business days after the order is issued. The 34 affidavit shall state that the employer has terminated the employment of all 35 unauthorized aliens in this state and that the employer will not 36 intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien in this state. The 37 court shall order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses subject to 38 this subdivision that are held by the employer if the employer fails to file 39 a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney within three business days 40 after the order is issued. All licenses that are suspended under this 41 subdivision shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn 42 affidavit with the county attorney. Notwithstanding any other law, on filing 43 of the affidavit the suspended licenses shall be reinstated immediately by 44 the appropriate agencies. For the purposes of this subdivision, the licenses 45 that are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that S.B. 1070 - 8 - 1 are held by the employer specific to the business location where the 2 unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license 3 specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed 4 work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in 5 general, the licenses that are subject to suspension under this subdivision 6 are all licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary 7 place of business. On receipt of the court's order and notwithstanding any 8 other law, the appropriate agencies shall suspend the licenses according to 9 the court's order. The court shall send a copy of the court's order to the 10 attorney general and the attorney general shall maintain the copy pursuant to 11 subsection G of this section. 12 (d) May order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses 13 described in subdivision (c) of this paragraph that are held by the employer 14 for not to exceed ten business days. The court shall base its decision to 15 suspend under this subdivision on any evidence or information submitted to it 16 during the action for a violation of this subsection and shall consider the 17 following factors, if relevant: 18 (i) The number of unauthorized aliens employed by the employer. 19 (ii) Any prior misconduct by the employer. 20 (iii) The degree of harm resulting from the violation. 21 (iv) Whether the employer made good faith efforts to comply with any 22 applicable requirements. 23 (v) The duration of the violation. 24 (vi) The role of the directors, officers or principals of the employer 25 in the violation. 26 (vii) Any other factors the court deems appropriate. 27 2. For a second violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this 28 subsection, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently 29 revoke all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business 30 location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does 31 not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized 32 alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's 33 business in general, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to 34 permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer at the 35 employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the order and 36 notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall immediately 37 revoke the licenses. 38 3. The violation shall be considered: 39 (a) A first violation by an employer at a business location if the 40 violation did not occur during a probationary period ordered by the court 41 under this subsection or section 23-212.01, subsection F for that employer's 42 business location. 43 (b) A second violation by an employer at a business location if the 44 violation occurred during a probationary period ordered by the court under S.B. 1070 - 9 - 1 this subsection or section 23-212.01, subsection F for that employer's 2 business location. 3 G. The attorney general shall maintain copies of court orders that are 4 received pursuant to subsection F of this section and shall maintain a 5 database of the employers and business locations that have a first violation 6 of subsection A of this section and make the court orders available on the 7 attorney general's website. 8 H. On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized alien, the 9 court shall consider only the federal government's determination pursuant to 10 8 United States Code section 1373(c). The federal government's determination 11 creates a rebuttable presumption of the employee's lawful status. The court 12 may take judicial notice of the federal government's determination and may 13 request the federal government to provide automated or testimonial 14 verification pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c). 15 I. For the purposes of this section, proof of verifying the employment 16 authorization of an employee through the e-verify program creates a 17 rebuttable presumption that an employer did not knowingly employ an 18 unauthorized alien. 19 J. For the purposes of this section, an employer that establishes that 20 it has complied in good faith with the requirements of 8 United States Code 21 section 1324a(b) establishes an affirmative defense that the employer did not 22 knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. An employer is considered to have 23 complied with the requirements of 8 United States Code section 1324a(b), 24 notwithstanding an isolated, sporadic or accidental technical or procedural 25 failure to meet the requirements, if there is a good faith attempt to comply 26 with the requirements. 27 K. IT IS AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE TO A VIOLATION OF SUBSECTION A OF THIS 28 SECTION THAT THE EMPLOYER WAS ENTRAPPED. TO CLAIM ENTRAPMENT, THE EMPLOYER 29 MUST ADMIT BY THE EMPLOYER'S TESTIMONY OR OTHER EVIDENCE THE SUBSTANTIAL 30 ELEMENTS OF THE VIOLATION. AN EMPLOYER WHO ASSERTS AN ENTRAPMENT DEFENSE HAS 31 THE BURDEN OF PROVING THE FOLLOWING BY CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE: 32 1. THE IDEA OF COMMITTING THE VIOLATION STARTED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT 33 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS RATHER THAN WITH THE EMPLOYER. 34 2. THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE 35 EMPLOYER TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION. 36 3. THE EMPLOYER WAS NOT PREDISPOSED TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION BEFORE THE 37 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE EMPLOYER TO 38 COMMIT THE VIOLATION. 39 L. AN EMPLOYER DOES NOT ESTABLISH ENTRAPMENT IF THE EMPLOYER WAS 40 PREDISPOSED TO VIOLATE SUBSECTION A OF THIS SECTION AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT 41 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS MERELY PROVIDED THE EMPLOYER WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO 42 COMMIT THE VIOLATION. IT IS NOT ENTRAPMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR 43 THEIR AGENTS MERELY TO USE A RUSE OR TO CONCEAL THEIR IDENTITY. THE CONDUCT 44 OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THEIR AGENTS MAY BE CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING 45 IF AN EMPLOYER HAS PROVEN ENTRAPMENT. S.B. 1070 - 10 - 1 Sec. 7.

A second 9 violation of this section shall be based only on an unauthorized alien who is 10 or was employed by the employer after an action has been brought for a 11 violation of subsection A of this section or section 23-212, subsection A. 12 E. For any action in superior court under this section, the court 13 shall expedite the action, including assigning the hearing at the earliest 14 practicable date. 15 F. On a finding of a violation of subsection A of this section: 16 1. For a first violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this 17 subsection, the court shall: 18 (a) Order the employer to terminate the employment of all unauthorized 19 aliens. 20 (b) Order the employer to be subject to a five year probationary 21 period for the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work. 22 During the probationary period the employer shall file quarterly reports in 23 the form provided in section 23-722.01 with the county attorney of each new 24 employee who is hired by the employer at the business location where the 25 unauthorized alien performed work. 26 (c) Order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses described 27 in subdivision (d) of this paragraph that are held by the employer for a 28 minimum of ten days. The court shall base its decision on the length of the 29 suspension under this subdivision on any evidence or information submitted to 30 it during the action for a violation of this subsection and shall consider 31 the following factors, if relevant: 32 (i) The number of unauthorized aliens employed by the employer. 33 (ii) Any prior misconduct by the employer. 34 (iii) The degree of harm resulting from the violation. 35 (iv) Whether the employer made good faith efforts to comply with any 36 applicable requirements. 37 (v) The duration of the violation. 38 (vi) The role of the directors, officers or principals of the employer 39 in the violation. 40 (vii) Any other factors the court deems appropriate. 41 (d) Order the employer to file a signed sworn affidavit with the 42 county attorney. The affidavit shall state that the employer has terminated 43 the employment of all unauthorized aliens in this state and that the employer 44 will not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien in this 45 state. The court shall order the appropriate agencies to suspend all S.B. 1070 - 12 - 1 licenses subject to this subdivision that are held by the employer if the 2 employer fails to file a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney 3 within three business days after the order is issued. All licenses that are 4 suspended under this subdivision for failing to file a signed sworn affidavit 5 shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with 6 the county attorney. For the purposes of this subdivision, the licenses that 7 are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that are 8 held by the employer specific to the business location where the unauthorized 9 alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license specific to 10 the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work, but a 11 license is necessary to operate the employer's business in general, the 12 licenses that are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all 13 licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary place of 14 business. On receipt of the court's order and notwithstanding any other law, 15 the appropriate agencies shall suspend the licenses according to the court's 16 order. The court shall send a copy of the court's order to the attorney 17 general and the attorney general shall maintain the copy pursuant to 18 subsection G of this section. 19 2. For a second violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this 20 subsection, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently 21 revoke all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business 22 location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does 23 not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized 24 alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's 25 business in general, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to 26 permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer at the 27 employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the order and 28 notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall immediately 29 revoke the licenses. 30 3. The violation shall be considered: 31 (a) A first violation by an employer at a business location if the 32 violation did not occur during a probationary period ordered by the court 33 under this subsection or section 23-212, subsection F for that employer's 34 business location. 35 (b) A second violation by an employer at a business location if the 36 violation occurred during a probationary period ordered by the court under 37 this subsection or section 23-212, subsection F for that employer's business 38 location. 39 G. The attorney general shall maintain copies of court orders that are 40 received pursuant to subsection F of this section and shall maintain a 41 database of the employers and business locations that have a first violation 42 of subsection A of this section and make the court orders available on the 43 attorney general's website. 44 H. On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized alien, the 45 court shall consider only the federal government's determination pursuant to S.B. 1070 - 13 - 1 8 United States Code section 1373(c). The federal government's determination 2 creates a rebuttable presumption of the employee's lawful status. The court 3 may take judicial notice of the federal government's determination and may 4 request the federal government to provide automated or testimonial 5 verification pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c). 6 I. For the purposes of this section, proof of verifying the employment 7 authorization of an employee through the e-verify program creates a 8 rebuttable presumption that an employer did not intentionally employ an 9 unauthorized alien. 10 J. For the purposes of this section, an employer that establishes that 11 it has complied in good faith with the requirements of 8 United States Code 12 section 1324a(b) establishes an affirmative defense that the employer did not 13 intentionally employ an unauthorized alien. An employer is considered to 14 have complied with the requirements of 8 United States Code section 1324a(b), 15 notwithstanding an isolated, sporadic or accidental technical or procedural 16 failure to meet the requirements, if there is a good faith attempt to comply 17 with the requirements. 18 K. IT IS AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE TO A VIOLATION OF SUBSECTION A OF THIS 19 SECTION THAT THE EMPLOYER WAS ENTRAPPED. TO CLAIM ENTRAPMENT, THE EMPLOYER 20 MUST ADMIT BY THE EMPLOYER'S TESTIMONY OR OTHER EVIDENCE THE SUBSTANTIAL 21 ELEMENTS OF THE VIOLATION. AN EMPLOYER WHO ASSERTS AN ENTRAPMENT DEFENSE HAS 22 THE BURDEN OF PROVING THE FOLLOWING BY CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE: 23 1. THE IDEA OF COMMITTING THE VIOLATION STARTED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT 24 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS RATHER THAN WITH THE EMPLOYER. 25 2. THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE 26 EMPLOYER TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION. 27 3. THE EMPLOYER WAS NOT PREDISPOSED TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION BEFORE THE 28 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE EMPLOYER TO 29 COMMIT THE VIOLATION. 30 L. AN EMPLOYER DOES NOT ESTABLISH ENTRAPMENT IF THE EMPLOYER WAS 31 PREDISPOSED TO VIOLATE SUBSECTION A OF THIS SECTION AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT 32 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS MERELY PROVIDED THE EMPLOYER WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO 33 COMMIT THE VIOLATION. IT IS NOT ENTRAPMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR 34 THEIR AGENTS MERELY TO USE A RUSE OR TO CONCEAL THEIR IDENTITY. THE CONDUCT 35 OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THEIR AGENTS MAY BE CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING 36 IF AN EMPLOYER HAS PROVEN ENTRAPMENT. 37 Sec. 8. Section 23-214, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read: 38 23-214. Verification of employment eligibility; e-verify 39 program; economic development incentives; list of 40 registered employers 41 A. After December 31, 2007, every employer, after hiring an employee, 42 shall verify the employment eligibility of the employee through the e-verify 43 program AND SHALL KEEP A RECORD OF THE VERIFICATION FOR THE DURATION OF THE 44 EMPLOYEE'S EMPLOYMENT OR AT LEAST THREE YEARS, WHICHEVER IS LONGER. S.B. 1070 - 14 - 1 B. In addition to any other requirement for an employer to receive an 2 economic development incentive from a government entity, the employer shall 3 register with and participate in the e-verify program. Before receiving the 4 economic development incentive, the employer shall provide proof to the 5 government entity that the employer is registered with and is participating 6 in the e-verify program. If the government entity determines that the 7 employer is not complying with this subsection, the government entity shall 8 notify the employer by certified mail of the government entity's 9 determination of noncompliance and the employer's right to appeal the 10 determination. On a final determination of noncompliance, the employer shall 11 repay all monies received as an economic development incentive to the 12 government entity within thirty days of the final determination. For the 13 purposes of this subsection: 14 1. "Economic development incentive" means any grant, loan or 15 performance-based incentive from any government entity that is awarded after 16 September 30, 2008. Economic development incentive does not include any tax 17 provision under title 42 or 43. 18 2. "Government entity" means this state and any political subdivision 19 of this state that receives and uses tax revenues. 20 C. Every three months the attorney general shall request from the 21 United States department of homeland security a list of employers from this 22 state that are registered with the e-verify program. On receipt of the list 23 of employers, the attorney general shall make the list available on the 24 attorney general's website. 25 Sec. 9.
