and secondly, you are sadly mistaken if you believe this law is going to step up enforcement on corporations that routinely hire illegal immigrants. the new enforcement capabilities (supposedly) granted by this law are designed to crack down on the illegal immigrants themselves, everyone knows this. american multinationals are far too powerful to be hindered by a state law such as this one, and if it actually posed any threat to the hiring practices of these corporations it wouldn't have stood a chance at becoming law. at the most these provisions in the law will have the effect of increased enforcement on small and local businesses that hire illegal immigrants, sidestepping the larger problem.

You are overlooking the criminal actions of these individuals and pointing the finger at corporations, seemingly, because that's easier for you to have contempt for a large corporation than an individual. But you cannot overlook the crime of one in lieu of the crime of another. The point is that Arizona is not able to stifle the policies of these corporations with their own state laws, therefore they are taking the best possible course of action to eradicate this growing epidemic of crime in their state.
On the other hand, I do agree with you in the fact that there needs to be stricter punishment of companies that do knowingly hire and support illegal immigrants. But seeing the current federal/corporate relationship, I don't see a bill being passed any time soon.
