Arizona has become the SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS state. What we are told is that if someone is breaking the law then, they will be stopped and asked for proof of citizenship. Now, let's examine breaking the law in Arizona. If you are a day laborer and you are on the corner looking for work then you are breaking the law because you are "impeding traffic". If you are a US citizen and have an illegal alien in your car and are pulled over you could be charged with a misdemeanor of trafficking with a fugitive in Arizona.
Now, what about the people that LOOK foreign, whether Mexican, Latino, African, Haitian, etc..you could be forced to show proof of citizenship and let me set you straight ladies and gentleman, a drivers license won't do it. Proof of citizenship is a BIRTH CERTIFICATE. A Drivers License is a PROOF OF IDENTITY. My delimma with this is what about the people that will be wrongfully detained and deported and we all know that once you are caught in the web of law enforcement, it's hard to get out. Even if you are legal. How would the Government deport all the illegals? As we read last week, one person here illegally since 2008 caused a traffic accident that killed 2 nuns in Virginia. This person was detained by Immigration Officials and released. How would this law affect other states if it stand the way it is. I feel it is another form of racial profiling.
