One reason given by the judge is that it “burdens lawfully-present aliens because their liberty will be restricted while their status is checked.”

I get stopped for a traffic matter. In the course of it, as I understand it, the police will check me and my vehicle for warrants, etc. How does this not burden me because my liberty is being restricted while my status is being checked.

This of course means there can be no more DUI check points, not even on New Years. Good news for the Kennedys.

I'm a "lawfully-present alien" who became a US citizen 23 years ago, and let me assure the judge that I would not consider my liberty restricted if my status has to be checked if it means that ILLEGAL immigrants are deterred from coming here.

You know when my liberty is restricted, Judge? When I have to pay to clothe,house and provide education for the illegal immigrants and their kids who broke the law!!
