There are a greater number of legal American citizens of Hispanic and Native American heritage who will be subject to being stopped and questioned about their citizenship based merely on suspicion.
And, yes, we most certainly disagree as to your quantification.
You say "a greater number".
I say it will be a teeny tiny
lesser number than you state.
You earlier said that it would be, in effect, a one-for-one stopping and questioning of American citizens for each of the 20 million illegals in America.
I'm saying, no, that's a gross exaggeration, made for ideologically motivated hyperbole effect.
I'm saying that it likely won't be more than 1 in 10,000, or at best 2,000 Americans
nation-wide of all races and appearances, if that, that will be stopped and questioned about their citizenship.
And I'm saying that because law enforcement simply does
not merely go on looks in a situation like this, and it's preposterous ideological posturing to say that they do.
Law enforcement will also be looking at
behavior and reflecting
attitudes before detaining someone.
So, knowing how law enforcement works, I see no basis for your extreme exaggerations, extreme exaggerations that merely function to create unjustified hysteria.
And regarding your phrase "based merely on suspicion", last time I looked, "suspicion" in the eyes of law enforcement is exactly
what a stop and momentary detaining in such a situation as this would logically, rationally
be based upon, a
justified suspicion based on
multiple relevant criteria in the matter.
A true American citizen is opposed to illegal immigration as illegal immigration is a crime against fellow American citizens.
No true American would support such a crime against their fellow American citizens, and any American who condones illegal immigration is a complict accomplice to the associated crimes, in effect, a Benedict Arnold to fellow American citizens, and to America itself.
What part of that statement do you have a problem with?
and given the lack of good reason to stop my relatives other than they resemble, in a broad and non-specific way (like gender, height, hair or lack of it) suspected illegals, they and I would not be thankful. Especially when children could be involved.
If there is indeed "a lack of good reason" to stop anyone, I doubt that law enforcement will stop that individual(s).
What makes you fear otherwise?
As to your relatives being stopped, have you asked them if they would mind being momentarily stopped in an effort to stop the egregious crime against Americans that illegall immigration is, in the name of putting an end to the economy-killing prolem for millions of American citizens?
Maybe they wouldn't mind at all.
Or, maybe that one relative of yours is married .. to an
illegal?!
Regardless, the stop and detain activities of law enforcement is based on more than mere looks. By utilziing more than just looks they can stop and detain all ethnicities, as the problem isn't all about "Mexicans" as is ludirously accused, as illegal immigrants come from all over the world.
Law enforcement knows what it's doing, obviously.
No need to contrive hysteria where none exists.
While you may be fine with it, doesn't make it right.
And your paranoia doesn't make such fear-fantasies reality.
Besides, again, people get stopped and detained all the time in America because for one rational reason or another they look, act, etc. like someone the police are searching for, and without either force or hundcuffs, after a few questions, the police thank them for their patience in attempting to find the real criminal and they go on their way.
Americans who are oblivious to this reality of every-day law enforcement activity in hunting for the criminal either don't watch enough law-enforcement TV shows to know that it happens all the time, or are simply uninformed as to normal relevant occurrences in general.
Revealing? In what way. I thought you were expressing an extreme view point or sarcasm about "Real Americans". My mistake.
Your projection is meaningless.
Your mistake which I "cleverly" called you on was about your error in understanding how law enforcement works and to also refute your call for hysteria in the face of an unreal fear.
