This law in Arizona doesn't mean they can pull anyone Hispanic person over just to check their ID. It means if someone is pulled over in Arizona and is unable to produce a valid US driver's license or otherwise indicates they might be here illegally or otherwise might might be engaged in some other crime, that law enforcement is obligated to check their legal immigration status.
I'm forty-one years old, former US Marine, and very white. I tripped up my home alarm a few months ago. Imagine my fucking surprise when my local PD asked for a second form of ID.

My point was that there are so many laws already similar to this Arizona law and there is (or was) no uproar over them. Of course anyone with brains is going to produce all the ID's they have when a police officer asks. Even though in a great many places and instances, the constitution or state laws kinda sorta says they are not allowed to demand it if you refuse. Nobody made a stink because it wasn't "politic" to do so like this one is.
It would be nice to see the state police handing out papers for the illegals who want to actually become Americans. Let them fill it out and hand it in and get the process moving. It's ridiculous that it takes 7 yrs or some bullshit to become a legal citizen through normal channels.
