The Arizona law was passed because of growing frustration over illegal Immigration.
The Arizona immigration law is basically a state level reflection of Federal law. Arizona passed the law at a state level so they would have authority to enforce the law, since the federal government refuses to enforce it.
the immigration laws were passed in 1965. That is incorrect, the law was passed in the 1920's.

Arizona, although Texas (cities), and Oklahoma has passed a few that are under (or soon will be) under challenge as well.
Arizona law enforcement officers are still required to observe reasonable suspicion and probable cause requirements to stop, detain and/or arrest someone, the same as before Arizona's new immigration law took effect. The new law allows officers to question people they detain to determine their immigration status. Prior to that law taking effect, immigration questions could constitute a violation of the detainee's civil rights, as Arizona LE officers were not empowered to enforce immigration laws.
