FILE - In this Nov. 1, 2011 photo, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio speaks to the media after his deputies conducted a raid at a printing company in Phoenix, arresting six suspects out of 17 they were allegedly looking for. The immigration debate in Arizona reached a boiling point when the state passed a groundbreaking law in 2007 targeting those often blamed with fueling the nation's border woes: Employers who hire immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. It marked a bold step, but an examination of the law by The Associated Press found that it has done little to crack down on problematic employers. (AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin, File)
