It seems that 73% of Arizonans told Rasmussen that they agree with the law. Now one must understand that at least half the residents of Arizona are of Mexican descent but they must be joining in on this aspect of control of the border. The election, this fall, seems to be hinging on this question and the governor seems to know that she signs the thing or she will lose her job.
Read the article that goes along with the 73% number to find out some interesting things about that situation.

If the left has a problem with enforcing immigration requirements and restrictions, then it should just come out and say it supports an open border. That would put it in agreement with Cato and other strict libertarians, though.

The left does not support an open border policy. The left believes there are effective methods to protect our borders, without resorting to racial profiling and infringing on the civil liberties of Americans, not just those Americans that look aesthetically pleasing to the right.

Complete and total BS. The left has been in full support of an open border policy and complete amnesty for all illegal aliens. Republicans haven't been much better. Conservatives want immigration laws enforced while politicians in Washington DC are afraid to do this because they could potentially loose votes from people who aren't legally eligible to vote.

But yet you profile in your post.
Where can we view these tenants you are going on about?

Where all the effective methods the left believes there are. The left is just the same as most of the people who call themselves the "right". They don't want to upset the large hispanic voting block by actually doing something to stop the illegal hispanic invasion.
