Today an article regarding Kentucky and its immigration policies was published. The Republicans of the state want to follow Arizona's lead and "pass immigration-enforcement legislation that would allow police to check the citizenship status of people they stop" (Weber, 2010). There are critics in Kentucky arguing what many in Arizona have, that the Republicans are riding anti-immigration sentiment.
It will be interesting to see how many states begin writing up legislation similar to Arizona's, although it is currently being challenged in the federal court of appeals.
