Hispanics fear profiling under new Arizona law

PHOENIX (AP) -- Arodi Berrelleza isn't one of the targets of Arizona's new law cracking down on illegal immigration - he's a U.S. citizen, a high school student from Phoenix.

But the 18-year-old said he's afraid he'll be arrested anyway if police see him driving around with friends and relatives, some of them illegal immigrants.

>>Hispanics fear profiling under new Arizona law<<

And they should expect it. It is one of the chief tools used by law enforcement.

Lie down with dogs, get up with flees. Hang out with criminals, and take your chances with the cops. A little harrassment from LEOs wouldn’t do him a bit of harm.

CNN had this ol'gal on today who is described as "a bishop" and she said she and her fellow preachers, etc., are fearful that their members in their churches and synagogues.........

Synagogues? This woman says people who belong to synagogues ~ JEWISH PEOPLE NO DOUBT ~ (check how I profiled that one) ~ are fearful of being arrested and deported.

Now that is something I had no idea was a current public problem ~ ILLEGAL ALIEN MEXICAN ORIGIN JEWS!

Kind of like that Rabbi, who can read, write and speak 2 languages, one of them left to right, the other right to left, who said the "butterfly ballot" was too confusing for him to deal with.

No, some things are so manifestly preposterous that I think even Obama could recognize them as little more than nonsensical propaganda prepared by people who think the rest of us are terminally stupid!

Looks like life has changed for him. He will not be arrested if he has a valid drivers license and is not here illegally. However, when he is stopped with illegals in his car, THEY may be asked for ID and if they cannot produce it, they WILL be arrested pending confirmation of status. And the less English they speak, the more likely it will be.

Oh freakin’-well! If you’re here “legally” you have nothing to fear. Your friends & relatives are ILLEGALS! Take their a**es back to Mexico!

Maybe he should be driving his illegal relatives back to the border.

Illegals should be the most vocal birthers of any when they get caught!

They should file suit arguing that the highest office in the land is being occupied by an illegal alien who refuses to show his birth certificate.

Their mantra should be:

Show me the birth certificate!... and I'll show you my green card!

Soon to be implemented, first step in the process, secure all
Puerto Rican birth certificates.

Now if we can keep the RINOs from pushing amnesty.

People who are citizens of the U.S. should not have any problems with this
law ... Just show a valid ID and you'll be fine ... Only the illegals have to fear
... being caugh.

what if the cops pull me over and think that I'm an illegal alien from Kenya? ...
Why, why...I might have to show them a valid ID to prove I'm not and that
is really inconvenient

You Freepers have just clearly and concisely summarized the main
reasons why the Wee Wee is so opposed to this law!

I’m planning on visiting Arizona this summer to support their economy.

I will let everyone know I’m visiting solely to help defend their right to defend our nation’s borders.

Mexico is trying to tell the Govt of AZ to stop this bill.

ER who the hell do they think they are, this is America and maybe they need to look at their laws on immigration first and how they shoot to kill on their southerner border, not that Geraldo the race baiter will ever report that.

It’s high time from illegals and Mexico to understand that AZ,CA,NM,TX is not their country

***Then go back to mexico..problem solved***

Did you miss this?

“..he’s a U.S. citizen, a high school student from Phoenix.”

I’ve known quite a few latinos who are born US citizens and opposed to illegals.

This is more proof the law was needed.

Before the law: No fear of arrest

After the law: Fear of arrest

There are likely a lot of good people from elsewhere who just need to get legal and sort it out. But there are a lot of Mexicans who laugh at our system and think they are gangstas living la vida loca. I hope all the border states get way tougher. If you’re illegal I’m sorry, you’ll have to leave.
