Umm, no duh only Mexican looking people will get asked for their papers since there are very few if any other nationalities illegally immigrating from our southern border. You do realize that 21,000 people have been murdered in the last three years from illegal immigrants right?

“I am also wondering if the reason for this law has nothing to do with emigration but making it easier to crack down on drugs and kidnapped children.”nnIt is probably because of that, yes…but that doesn’t mean that they’re going about it the correct and just way.

I am wondering how a law like this passed when more than 50% of the population in Arizona is of hispanic decent. I am also wondering if the reason for this law has nothing to do with emigration but making it easier to crack down on drugs and kidnapped children.

This isn't about showing identification at the airport or checking out library books. It is about “randomly” stopping because of their appearance and demanding proof of citizenship. Has that every happened to you? I'm guessing not.

I have to show my papers at the airport. I have to show my papers if I am caught speeding. I have to show my papers for many financial transactions. I have to show my credentials to check out a library book! Of course it has a place in a free society. The assertion that aliens cannot be challenged to prove legitimate status is completely false. It is a protection of the law-abiding individuals to challenge the scofflaws, who generally take advantage of the honest ones.
