Ariz. governor signs immigration enforcement bill

As they can check your id in such cases, why do they need a law to check id, in which they already have the legal right to do so?

Or if I am doing something illegal, (that the police have probable cause to believe so, and not just because of my ethnicity)

Otherwise no I should not have to prove who I am. If I dont want to vote, no need for them to know who I am, if am not cashing a cheque, not need to know who I am. If I am just walking down the street or hanging out in a park, asking me anything is fine, forcing me to answer is not

Perhaps you could be a little bit more specific,

Interesting topic of voting since you said that most "Mexican"-Americans voted for Dems I recall that certain Republicans claim that illrgal aliens vote in lage numbers. Anyone aware of factual sources for such stats? I mean something other than the Let's Send Them All BACK To Where They Came From PARTY..

The article I quoted said they, Arizona's now Governor, conducted a 2 year investigation but, found no illegals falsely registering to vote or voting. Another Right wing lie bites the dust. :mrgreen:
 
While reading on this subject, I ran across this article. Just another view of what Arizona Republicans may really be up to. And, interesting enough, Karl Rove's name popped up. Son of a gun. :lol:

This may have nothing to do with immigration. It may be all about politics after all. Tom DeLay type politics. Interesting.

Did you read the article, I could find nothing but one mans opinion there, no facts, gross misrepresentation of what the law states.

What does that prove, other than the auther wrote his name? He mentioned GW Bush too, does that mean Bush is responsible for this law? HMMM Texas is not that far from AZ, Maybe he did do it.

The author, Greg Palast, is an investigative journalist. It's one more article on what's going on down there.
 
The anti-Indian legislation is a fascist measure. It’s not surprising that it finds its primary support on the white supremacist forum Stormfront, where the rhetoric in favor of it is indistinguishable from that here.

What do you think is going to be "probable cause" for the cops to request id from someone?

Traffic stops will be good.

Arriving to a call from a slum tenement and being unable to find an adult that can speak english is another.

A gaggle of men in working clothes loitering at the parking lot entrance to Home Depot, Lowes, or other construction supply store. Loitering is an infraction that authorizes local police to ask what business the people are up to.

You people think the cops will have time to ask every damn Invader on the street for his ID? Seriously?

All they need is a suspicion they could be illegal. Based on looks!

They want to get rid of the illegals and possibly scare legals against registering/voting for Repubs. They already prevented them from registering.

Seriously.

So?

Profiling is what makes policing effective.

Tell me how many times you've protested about profiling when the cops engaged a "man" hunt for a rapist, and you thought it was unfair they didn't interrogate equal numbers of women.

I'm betting that the cops in Arizona won't be asking to many black people for their ID. Nor will too many white people be bothered. But, hell, if someone of hispanic descent that wasn't an anchor baby gets bothered by a cop trying to do his job and protect the United States from the Invasion, just maybe that hispanic-looking person is aiding and abetting the Invasion.

And that's very close to treason.

Look up in the Constitution what the punishment for treason is.

Seriously.

Yeah, right.

Sure.

Whatever.

There's a cop at every post-office, reading the forms hispanic-looking people put in the mail.:roll:
 
I can't wrap my head around your post Scarecrow, because Profiling doesn't make police work effective. It just make the person unreasonable to the next cop that stops them this is why my father who is a Fire Marshal doesn't do that. The more unreasonable they become it is more likely they might start shooting at a cop, or an Arson Investigator just because he had been racial profiled, or beat up by the police.


In my own opinion, this law goes against the basic rights of every Legal Arizonan citizen.

The police already have the ability to see the drivers ID

No it is not, Americans can speak any language they want to, it is not illegal to speak Mandarin, French, Russian, or English in the US. As such it does not provide probable cause

A gaggle of men in working clothes loitering at the parking lot entrance to Home Depot, Lowes, or other construction supply store. Loitering is an infraction that authorizes local police to ask what business the people are up to.

As this law makes hiring day labour illegal, this is not going to be an issue for either Americans or illegal immigrants

Meaning the reason to provide the police the ability to demand to see someones ID to see if they are illegal is to allow them to ask otherwise law abiding people their id.
 
The law, as written, violates the 14th amendment of many of the legal Hispanic residents of Arizona. That is all there is to it. It's unconstitutional and it will be overturned by the courts. It's a badly written law because it is too vague and too broad and leaves all the discretion in the hands of law enforcement.

No.

Of course it doesn't.

Look at all the females the cops have falsely accused of rape over the years.

It just make the person unreasonable to the next cop that stops them this is why my father who is a Fire Marshal doesn't do that.

Only if that person was unreasonable to begin with, and if the policy is unreasonably applied.

When I saw two black men strolling along the grassy meridian strip leaning over to peer into the parked cars, dressed in ankle-length coats, naturally I thought, "what nice people, out for a even stroll on this sweltering August evening, checking out, from sheer curiosity, of course, all the late model cars parked in my neighborhood. Nothing wrong going on here."

Bull**** I thought that. Them boys was lookin' for a car to steal, and the cops driving down the road were right interested, too, when I flagged them down.

Just in case you haven't wanted to notice it, the United States is under Invasion and if the federal government continues to flatly refuse it's responsibility to protect the states from the invaders, it's up to the states to protect themselves. If the lawfully resident hispanic looking folk don't want to be hassled, it's their duty to help rid this nation of those invaders so things can be restored to normal.

Since a huge percentage of cops are hispanic, it's not bloody likely there's going to be an overwhelming surge of "driving while hispanic" incidents in Arizona, though I'm sure MALDEF is already training people how to fake up an abusive situation so they can make the defenders of America look bad and score some bucks at the same time.

Discretion is SUPPOSED to be in the hands of the cops.

They're the ones facing the situation.

if the courts rule that cops can't go to the mobs of invaders at Home Depot and request to see proof of legal residency, it's the courts that aren't reading the Constitution correctly, not the cops. Vagrancy has always been probable cause for police interest.

No, it is suppose to be in the hands of the courts. Cops enforce the law, they don't interpret it. Look up your Constitution. It isn't the executive branch that interprets the law.

It's that kind of thinking that leads to a police state.
 
This law is great! I hope more States pass laws that hold accountable people that are breaking the law. Illegal immigrants are already illegal, so it is time to do something about it. Thank you Arizona for doing the right thing.
 
Why bring gender in to this? 0_o : Is it because that I myself am a female that is going against this bill, because I think it is Fascism at it finest. My dad who is a Conservative also think it is Fascism.


You don't get the point to being with Scarecrow most people are not rough with the police, if they haven't had trouble with them in the first place... That is what my father has noticed as he is in the field a lot doing his job as the fire marshal/cop.

Naturally. Pointing out the similar sentiments between our resident statists and some of Scumfront's finest fascists is all about "race hustling" and uh..."blame YT"?

Al Sharpton vows march in AZ,activists prepared to commit "civil disobedience" - Page 2 - Stormfront

Every time the illegals have their little rallies more White people wake up.

I say let them have their riots, it will be an eye opener for more Whites.

Personally, I have ICE there checking I.D.'s on everyone without White skin!

We couldn't ask for a better gift. That race baiting old fool will rob the La Raza immigration criminals of what little sympathy they have left with whites. They'll stink like a feces smeared Twanna Brawley when he gets through with them.

:shrug:

Arizona's governor said they would "enforce the law evenly, and without regard to skin color, accent, or social status". They are already illegal, so this is just helping enforce current laws.

In the State I live in the police set-up random roadblocks to find drunk drivers, people with no auto insurance, or registration. So no one is singled out. This could be the same in Arizona perhaps.

Face palms, to say it won't be because of that is naive.
