As predicted, the odious "Papers, please" law recently passed in Arizona is spreading like cancer throughout the country. In a couple of weeks, it hits Michigan.

A Michigan lawmaker said she believes the state's law enforcement officers need the authority to arrest illegal immigrants and is drafting legislation similar to Arizona's new immigration law.

Rep. Kim Meltzer, R-Clinton Township, said her bill would allow police to request proof of citizenship from people who are stopped and questioned on another offense, such as a traffic violation or selling fraudulent identity documents. Officers would have the authority to arrest people who can't prove their legal status.

"We have borders in place for a reason," Meltzer said. "Everyone should play by the rules."

Meltzer, a candidate for state Senate in the August primary election, said racial profiling -- a key fear among opponents of Arizona's law -- would not be tolerated. She said a driver's license would be reasonable proof that a person was living in the U.S. legally...

Meltzer's proposal is being drafted into bill form and is expected to be introduced in the coming weeks.
