Me: >>Actually, that might be illegal. I think you need some kind of better justification than they are “obvious illegals.”<<
You: >>We are talking really obvious here. Let the police inquire.<<
Some cities don’t allow the police to enquire. But all of this would not be a problem if employers did not hire illegals.
>>Your argument here reminds me of something my leftwing, liberal sister might suggest.<<
I don’t think should be unreasonable for police to ask for proof of legal status (again, this assumes that their city allows them to check), but I think you are being unrealistic. We live in a system which, in this case I believe, the courts would not allow the police to do what you are suggesting.
What is this, Wonderland? The police are not allowed to inquire, but some class of private citizens must inquire! How about if we forbid grocery stores from selling food to people who cannot prove they are here legally? We could fine or imprision all those mean grocery store owners who do not comply.
