Critics of the bill charge that it essentially legalizes racial profiling, which will lead to an uptick in hate crimes.
And, this is why I am against it. My wife is Chinese. She LOOKS Chinese. But she is now an American citizen. Perhaps in Arizona, she wouldn’t be stopped and asked to prove her existence. Someone who looks Mexican, would probably be “stopped”. I am fine with this ONLY if they also consistently stop someone who looks African, or Swedish or whatever.

You’ll likely get your wish. The amnesty bill Graham/Schumer are pushing calls for a biometric ID card for EVERYONE to be able to get a job. That means you, your wife, all of us.
Either you profile them and enforce the law or we all get the police state. Is that what you want??
I have to prove who I am every time I do anything but you’re afraid someone who shouldn’t be here in the first place might have to??
They do at BP checkpoints here in So Cal an Az.
Everyone gets stopped and checked.
Couldn’t be used on Swedes....
They are obviously to tall to fit the profile.
So they stop a legit Mexican looking person. He shows his ID the officer says have a nice day and they both continue their day . Whats the big friggin deal ? If you’re doing nothing wrong a stop and check your ID is not the end of the world GEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
