doison,
Are you on your period?
I'm not talking about Hispanics getting caught crossing the border illegally. I am talking about Hispanics living and working inside the state of Arizona. Or are you going to enforce this law at the border only?
Illegal immigrants are going to be mexican.
Obviously not ALL mexicans are going to be illegal immigrants, but you can remove the VAST majority of the population from your concern by not ignoring the obvious.
The people here illegally are going to be part of a small subset of the population.
Acting like there's no way to distinguish possible illegals is just fucking stupid.
I don't see how people are SO up in arms over this thing.
If I get pulled over for speeding, I have to show my driver's license, registration, AND proof of insurance.
I need a fucking permit to put a post in my fucking yard.
If a building inspector drives by and sees me digging the hole for my post.....I have to produce the paper that proves I have the proper permit.
No one has a problem with having to "show papers" for the 10,000 other things we have to show papers for....but are just appalled at the idea of having to show they're not breaking the law by being in America?
Read the law. Cops can't go around tackling anyone they see and forcing them to prove they're a citizen....but IF they commit a crime, they can see if they are committing OTHER crimes, like being here illegally.
Try arguing that you shouldn't have to show your license, registration and proof of insurance when you commit a traffic violation and see how many people are ready to "fight for your cause."
