Prop 314: Arizona voters to decide on border measure

Come November, Arizona voters could influence what happens next with the border crisis, as they decide on a ballot measure that targets illegal immigration and border security.

Proposition 314 is a measure on illegal immigration and border security, and it has drawn some controversy.

The measure was referred to the ballot by the State Legislature. If approved, the measure will make it a state crime for noncitizens to enter the state at any location other than a port of entry, and arrests can lead to deportations that are ordered by state judges. Local law enforcement would need Probable Cause to make contact with anyone who appears to be crossing illegally.

In addition, people using false documentation to apply for public benefits or employment could be charged with a class six felony as a result of the measure.
