Arizona Governor Janice Brewer (R.) has just announced that she will sign the controversial new immigration bill into law.

Brewer said the decision was “best for Arizona” and faulted the federal government for failing to act to secure the border.

“We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act,” Brewer said. “But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation.”

When it goes into effect in 90 days, the law will make it a state crime to be in the country illegally, and would require individuals to produce identification if police have “reasonable suspicion” that they are an illegal.
