California voters are evenly divided on Arizona's tough new immigration law, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Our Los Angeles immigration lawyers have reported extensively on the fallout of Arizona's unprecedented anti-immigration measure. The law, which is being challenged in federal court by the Obama Administration, is set to take effect next week. It would permit law enforcement to stop and question those suspected of being in the country illegally and to turn those without proper documentation over the federal authorities for deportation proceedings.

A Field Poll found that 49 percent of California voters support the law while 45 oppose it. The margin of error was plus or minus 2.8 percentage points, making the results and even split.

Regardless of where you stand on the issue, the Arizona law has move the debate on immigration reform to center stage.

In recent weeks, our Los Angeles immigration attorneys have reported:


-States' rights a hot-button issue as Californians ponder immigration reform

-More troops ordered to the California-Mexican border

-Key challenges exist in immigration reform debate in California and nationwide

-California immigrant rights advocates assist in rallying the Hispanic vote

-Arizona law could lead to influx of Hispanic immigrants into California
