Is it possibly, in your mind, for someone to want immigration law enforced and not be a racist?
Is is possible to believe that illegal immigration is a problem, moreso for some areas than others, and that legislating law enforcement tools to deal with it is an attempt at reducing the problem, and not simple pandering?

How much more dangerous does this make the policeman's job? Traffic stops become high stakes situations.

They already are, and not just in AZ.
