Most of them appeared to be high school or college students.

The clueless who don't pay taxes.

“I do not know what an illegal immigrant looks like,” the governor responded. She said that is one reason for her order for more training of police.

They resemble a criminal asking directions.

So if race stays out of it then that means Whitey can get stopped too and asked for his proof of citizenship? And if he doesn’t have it does he get deported to Iceland? LOL!

I hate this weepy, victimization the interlopers and their enablers play.

There is so much misinformation about how this law will be enforced. The left is gnashing its teeth, warning that little Mexican maids waiting for a bus are going to be rounded up by ICE or those darling La Raza students are going to be taken out of their foklorica classes as they twirl their Mexicans flags around their shoulders.

No! When some kidnapper has stalked and captured a child, finally he will be asked to show ID, and if it is from Mexico, then, the other logical question will be asked and pursued until the truth comes out.

Those are the bad guys that are going to be marked and tagged. Those that act-up too, are risking revealing their status, which is good, invaders will not be tolerated; good riddance to bad garbage.

Looks like Georgia is going to try and follow Arizona’s lead!

ILLEGAL IS A CRIME, NOT A RACE!

While I fully support the new Arizona law, I’m sure that there are those in congress, the presidential palace, and the justice department who are viewing this as an opportunity to declare the need for a national ID card.

What is an indicator that a person, any person, may be illegal? Well, suppose they have broken some kind of law: speeding, reckless driving, shoplifting, MURDER, etc. and an officer stops him/her and asks for his/her name. They hear the response, “No habla Ingles!” and when asked by a translator to show some ID, doesn't have any, Well, by golly you might, just might be confronting an illegal.

A few years ago a Hispanic was stopped for a variety of offenses, DUI, reckless driving (wrecked car for some validity), leaving the scene (at 70+ MPH), etc. When at trial, the attorney said he was stopped due to his ethnicity. This argument was tossed when it was shown that the arresting officer couldn't have seen him because it was dark.

amounts to legalized racial profiling.

So what if it does? About 80% of illegals in this country are from south of the border. In AZ I would bet that is 98%+. Common sense would dictate that mestizo/Latino/Hispanics are most likely a suspect.

[M. Dodge Thomas]

Arizona can arrest illegals, but it can’t deport them - if Obama tells the IRS not to process them, they will just sit in AZ jails at taxpayer expense.

For doing what’s right and upholding the law, Gov. Jan will be defending her position and actions from now on...

[Tolsti2]

I don’t know why this is an issue. I have a friend that’s an illegal from India. He got busted bigtime near the border in New Mexico at a road stop that was checking everyone.

The policy of racial profiling is good. To allow the criminals to put up such a defense is nonsense.

The first thing noticed by a witness is their gender, then their color. To Prohibit race as ID and then looking for that race is ludicrous.

The races that seem to have an inordinate crime to population ratio is suspect from top to bottom for championing crime. If they feel threatened then they should get to work cleaning their house

[pallis]

California, Utah and New Mexico better brace for the hoards of illegals that will flow over their borders from Arizona.

Aloha Sandy,

Don't most of the local cops know who's who in their jurisdictions? Or has the population in the state grown so much to make this impossible.

Long ago, I was stopped by an Arizona Trooper, who twenty minutes earlier was sitting next to me having coffee at a diner. License, registration drill but also Military ID and orders. I'd just been separated so my ID was USNR and my orders were my DD 214.

At the time, they were checkng for AWOLs or deserters and he was just doing his job.....doing it well.

[Doe Eyes]

Don't most Freepers oppose any kind of National ID that would prove citizenship?

How may would submit to such a requirement?
