It is not harassment to prove you legal status.
When someone commits a crime, they should also be checked for immigration status, whatever their color. If Boston has a bad Irish immigration problem, then check people that look Irish.
The VAST majority of illegal aliens are Mexican and we ought to focus our resources on that problem.
Sure...if a person commits a crime, they should and ARE checked for immigration status.
However, laws that allow people, including American Citizens, to be stopped and detained and forced to show documentation for no reason other than being BROWN....are harassment and disproportionately target those in lower socio-economic status.
