A new law in Arizona is causing a lot of controversy across the country.

It allows law enforcement officials to question detainees about their immigration status if there is “reasonable suspicion” that the person may be in the country illegally.

David Silverberg is editor of Homeland Security Today and explains that he doesn’t think that it should shock anyone that the immigration debate is heating up in a state like Arizona.
