Arizona Republican wants to jail undocumented immigrants for using public bathrooms

An Arizona state House committee on Wednesday will hold a hearing on a bill that could jail undocumented immigrants if they use public restrooms or other public resources like schools or roads.
The Committee on Federal and State Affairs will consider Republican state Rep. Carl Seels (R) House Bill 2192 that would require people who use public resources to provide proof that they are in the U.S. legally or provide proof of citizenship.
A first offense would be considered a misdemeanor. Second offenses would result in felony charges and possible jail time. Undocumented immigrants who use public roads could also have their cars seized, according to The Huffington Post.
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Arizona Executive Director Alessandra Soler told KERO-TV that the bill was unconstitutional.
