So, let me get this straight. ONCE someone who broke the U.S. Immigration Laws and did NOT Get a visa and come into the country, he can’t be stopped by any law enforcement to check to see if he is here legally? So, if I am a terrorist, and engage in criminal activity, all I have to do is GET PAST the border, and then I’m in FREE? Sounds like a real deal for another breaking the law! IF YOU HAVE THE PAPER. why can’t you show it? Who do you think you are, the President of the USA? When I go as a foreigner to other countries, I ALWAYS have my papers ready, I figure they have a right to know who the foreigners are that don’t speak the language, and how long they’ve been there and what are they doing. Is America Sovereign, can they make their rules, or is the riff raff of the world think it’s their country too?
This was pre 9-11 and I did not feel harassed or Threatened.
Its the execution of the request for ID that should determine the outcome of the new Arizona law.
But I will add one point. Remove the reason for the illegal immigrants coming here and the majority will self export themselves back home.
