I don't understand the issue with this law.
It's pretty simple. If I live in California and I get pulled over by the CHP, and the officer smells booze.... I got pulled over for a ticket, but the officer thought there might be a much larger crime committed so he started asking questions. This is called "common sense".
Now, if your a police officer in Arizona and you pull over a car with four Mexicans in it, not one of them speaks English, and not one of them can produce any US ID.... Well, it's common fucking sense that all of them are here illegally and all of them have broken some pretty serious fucking federal laws.
This law doesn't mean the local pigs will be hanging out in the parking lot of Home Depot trying to arrest illegals ( although they should ).
This is a fucking joke already. Two decades ago I worked in a fucking Taco Bell in Northern California, just north of San Francisco. Once a month the Border Patrol would walk in, full uniform, and over half the staff would go running out the back door - right in the arms of a dozen officers waiting with a truck.
Some chick got pulled over in Phoenix and is fighting her deportation. She's a student. And I'm a little confused. She was driving a car that wasn't registered, wasn't insured, and she was driving without a license. I'm a US citizen, and if I do this I'm in big trouble. This doesn't take into account all of the other crimes she's commited - being in the US on an expired Visa, not paying taxes (she must have a job to support herself), and then lieing to her land lord and the college she was attending.
What happens when she hits another car without insurance? How many times has this woman been to the ER jacking up my fucking medical insurance?
At what point do we say "This is illegal" and put a fucking stop to it?
