My old Bushie aquaintance says that the new AZ law doesn't allow police to demand their status unless they believe a crime has occurred, but in a fantastic case of circular logic, the crime they need to be suspected of is being illegally in the country.
Oh if that were only the case.
The crime you speak of is that the person looks like they don't hold US Citizenship, a visa, are a refugee, an asylee or otherwise vaild reason to be in the US? How exactly can you tell that from looking at someone? I ask you. In fact, the law REQUIRES that police ascertain whether the person is in the country legally. REQUIRES if there is suspicion (again, how can you guess a person's citizenship/visa status from looking at them?)
I don't know why I keep making this mistake, but I thought that for all the talk about Obama's socialist government and "intrusiveness" and "freedom" that you might be offended by cops pulling any person for them to prove that they are a citizen or have a visa, but I often forget that the "Freedom" you speak of is The freedom of White, Christain, Straight Men to be free from paying taxes while sucking at the government teat without the slightest acknowledgement of their own hypocrisy.
Actually, you might want to put that on a sign and carry that at the next Tea Bagger rally.
