obama loves his illegal supporters as well as the welfare babies. he just gave them healthcare and they won't be able to vote for him if they aren't in country...of course he will criticize it.
obama is a joke.

There are plenty of rumors about immigration amnesty in works before 2012! 10 millions extra votes?!

deter illegals from reporting crimes...

like they do that anyways? WTF?

I dunno guys, I'm not quite sure how I feel about this.

anyone "suspected" of being an illegal has to provide identification?

What's the qualifications for "suspicion"?

I fear it could lead to abuses.

As opposed to the abuses American citizens are subjected to by illegal alien criminals? Do some research on crime in Arizona and California, in particular kidnapping.

How exactly would it work? The police detain someone who they suspect might be an illegal immigrant until a friend or relative brings in their birth certificate or passport? Seems like a colossal waste of manpower and money that could be spent on trying to keep illegal immigrants out in the first place.

no, everyone will have to start carrying thier papers. think nazi era germany. Gestapo pulls up " papers please"
this wont work. and i am not sure it should.

what we need to do is secure the borders all the borders and check every ounce of cargo being imported. period. and as we pick up illegals for legitmate crimes then we deport them. but stopping brown people isnt going to work.

There will be more to it than just stopping "brown people".

Of course if the fuds would protect our borders this sort of thing would be uneccessary. But until we can convince them(ha like that will happen) or vote them out what else you gonna do? If the federal govt will not do it then it must fall to the state to protect its citizens.

Although I agree we need to enforce our border laws, we MUST detain and deport anyone that is blatantly here illegally, like the individual who hit me. What good is a secure border when we knowingly let illegal’s from any country run around inside our borders with no repercussions? There is no easy answer. As much as I hate to say it, I would much rather have to show my ID “even as a white boy” then deal with a smaller pay check, higher insurance rates, and deaths caused by the people that should not be here in the first place. It’s unfortunate Obama and and our government won’t do shit about this issue, at least Arizona is trying, stir the pot maybe something might happen. This will eventually fall into the hands of US citizens…

Very well put.

I don't get why so many legal Mexican immigrants and citizens (particularly the citizens) have such a hard-on about the efforts to fix the issue with illegal immigrants. You'd almost think they've got something to be afraid of.
