Supreme Court strikes down most of Arizona immigration law, upholds key provision

maybe this is a slight teaser to them. Obama thinks he got a little "win" here...I would call it a draw. then, once the healthcare law comes hopefully it is the ultimate pimp slap!

I am fearful somehow Obamas healthcare law will not get slapped down....

I believe most of it will be wiped out. I don't think the entire law will be wiped off the books, but with the large number of states, citizens, etc that are against it, I can only assume the majority of the SCOTUS will also be against it.

So how will a LE Officer determine somebody's legal status again?

So how will a LE Officer determine somebody's legal status again?

As was explained to me by a good friend of mine who is a LEO here in Phoenix:

There is a certain sequence of questioning that LEO must follow in trying to determine legal status of a subject.

1. Driver License
2. State Issued ID Card
3. Passport
4. Green Card
5. Work Visa
6. Student Visa

If none of these can be produced, then and only then, will the subject be detained for illegal entry in the US.

I thought that the DL was not a proof of citizenship. If this is the case, then I am good with this.

I was under the impression there are certain state DL's that will not work as proof of ID. Utah for example, when I moved here Colorado did not accept Utah's DL because they did not require proof of citizenship, instead I had to provide a BC to CO DMV.

Oh well, not trying to get into a pissing match about what is proof and what isn't

No pissing match, just checking were we stand. And yes, you are right, I think the last time I renewed my DL here I had to prove my citizenship.
