Well, that is one way to get your Immigration law slapped down by a court in a very hard and swift manner.

In the border we are asking, “Who are you?”

I travel to the US a lot and I ALWAYS carry my "papers". I can't get over the border without them.

Heck, I carry ID in Canada and I was born here.

What a terrible decision. Any illegal Canadians or Europeans need to be treated exactly the same as illegal Hispanics.

And, any legal foreigners who aren't willing to meet the requirements of living here (having valid ID, etc.) should go back home.

Coming to this country is a privilege, not a right

one rule...all people.

Florida currently doesnt have much of an illegal problem. Some from SA, Candians and euros may over stay student/tourst visa but not a big deal. Yrs ago there were a lot Colombians here but the illegals have mostly left.
Florida doesnt have the mexican problem .

...The bill includes a provision allowing Canadians and Western Europeans to be “presumed to be legally in the United States”,..

The provision would allow them to assume legal status if the person had a Canadian passport or a “passport from any ‘visa waiver country’” — which are primarily located in Western Europe. “That language makes it clear that police are targeting only a specific minority,” Susana Barciela, policy director at the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, told the Miami New Times.

That's very different from what the title of the article implies.

This law will get slapped down faster than a Hawaiian bureaucrat getting a request for Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

That being said, it doesn’t surprise me that the liberals are looking for the race angle in this law.

You will never see a liberal mention that both Japan and Singapore are visa waiver countries and neither of those countries are Western European.

“Over five million Canadians identified themselves as a member of a visible minority group in the 2006 Census, accounting for 16.2% of the total population.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_minority

A visible minority is a person who is visibly not one of the majority race in a given population.

The term is used as a demographic category by Statistics Canada in connection with that country’s Employment Equity policies. The qualifier “visible” is important in the Canadian context where political divisions were traditionally determined by language (English vs. French) and religion (Catholics vs. Protestants), “invisible” traits. Since the reform of Canada’s immigration laws in the 1960s, immigration has been heaviest from areas other than Europe, thus creating visible minorities. Members of visible minorities are defined by the Canadian Employment Equity Act as “persons, other than Aboriginal people, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour.”[1] The term is used to address the labor market disadvantage of this group.Contents [hide]

Visible minorities in Canada

Over five million Canadians identified themselves as a member of a visible minority group in the 2006 Census, accounting for 16.2% of the total population. This was an increase from 2001 where visible minorities accounted for 13.4% of the total population; an increase from 1996 when the proportion was 11.2%; and a major increase over 1991 (9.4%) and 1981 (4.7%). The increase represents a significant shift in Canada’s demographics since the advent of that country’s multiculturalism policies.


Germany:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Germany

In 2005: Total population = 82 million[2]
German citizens = (91%)[2]


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Europe

The European countries with the highest proportion or percentage of non-native residents are small nations or microstates. Andorra is the country in Europe with the highest percentage of immigrants, 77% of the country’s 82,000 inhabitants. Monaco is the second with the highest percentage of immigrants, they make up 70% of the total population of 32,000; and Luxembourg is the third, immigrants are 37% of the total of 480,000; in Liechtenstein they are 35% of the 34,000 people; and in San Marino they comprise 32% of the country’s population of 29,000.

Countries in which immigrants form between 25% and 10% of the population are: Switzerland (25%), Latvia (19%), Estonia (15%), Austria (15%), Croatia (15%), Ukraine (14.7%), Cyprus (14.3%), Ireland (14%), Moldova (13%), Germany (12.3%), Sweden (12%), Belarus (12%), Spain (10.8%, 12.2% in 2009), France (10.2%), and the Netherlands (10%).[3]

The United Kingdom (9%), Greece (8.6%), Russia (8.5%), Slovenia (8.3%), Iceland (7.6%), Norway (7.4%), Portugal (7.2%), Denmark (7.1%) and Belgium (6.9%), each have a proportion of immigrants between 10% and 5% of the total population.

The European countries with the smallest proportion of immigrants as follows are: Italy (4.3%, 8.1% in 2010), Albania (2%), Poland (2%), Bosnia and Herzegovina (1%), Bulgaria (1%) and Romania (0.5%).

Germans of no immigrant background: (81%) 66.7 million[2]
German citizens of immigrant background (including people of partial immigrant background.): (10%)[2]


In perspective adding this clause is a strange form of racism... a Turkish-German holidaymaker could be in serious trouble if a dumbass Florida cop takes a disliking to him during a routine stop... but an ethnic German holidaymaker would walk away with an apology from the cops who are usually hyper sensitive toward tourists who spend money in the local communities.

This is dumb and undermines the entire effort. I want Canadians and Europeans carrying their papers too.
