‘If an officer walks up to a group of Hispanics hanging out in front of a Home Depot and the officer ask a couple of them, “where do you live?” and they reply, “over there”, in Spanish, that is reasonable suspicion because first they are loitering and second “over there” is not an answer worthy of eliminating reasonable suspicion.’

Loitering is a crime, no? In that situation the officers could demand ID of anyone under current statutes. So, there would be no need of ‘reasonable suspicion’, if the ID doesn’t show legal status, deport ‘em. The only change needed would be state enforcement of immigration law, as I said above.

As is often the case, if existing laws were enforced new ones would be unnecessary.

Take it a step further. Let's say Home Depot doesn't mind, which they don't now, a congregation of Hispanic day laborers hanging out front, is that Loitering?
The new law now allows for that to be reasonable suspicion.
