The Senate also defeated a bill to require hospitals to contact federal immigration officials or local law enforcement if people being treated lack insurance and can't demonstrate legal status.

"If we trying to re-create Arizona's economy and bring jobs, this is not how to do it," said Democratic Sen. Steve Gallard of Phoenix.

I was going to post this article myself.

What I found interesting is they finally realized they are shooting themselves in the foot.

Dozens of CEOs of major employers and business groups signed a letter distributed Wednesday by the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, saying that passage of additional legislation on illegal immigration would damage the economy and tourism.
