美国亚利桑那州移民法案评析

An Analysis and Review of Arizona's Immigration Law in the U.S.

亚利桑那州的新移民法案首次将非法移民定性为犯罪行为,并规定了极为严厉的处罚措施。这一法案因而被称为美国"最严苛的移民法案"。该法案的出台不仅在美国国内掀起了新一轮移民政策的大讨论,而且对美国未来政治格局的走向以及美国与墨西哥等国的外交关系都将产生深刻影响。

For the first time,Arizona's new immigration law defined illegal immigration as criminal act and provided very severe penalties.Thus,the law is called 'the most stringent immigration law' in America.The approval of the law in Arizona not only raises a new round of debate on immigration policy at home,but also has profound impacts on the future direction of U.S.political pattern and the diplomatic relationship between U.S.and other countries like Mexico.
