You asked me why I thought this is a bad law and I told you. It's my opinion, isn't it? And let's wait for the inevitable test case to demonstrate this bad laws effects on the rights of American citizens.This law opens up racial profiling. If your name is Pete Martin and you're on the streets of Tuscon, you probably won't get rousted for ID. If your name is Pedro Martinez, look out! And it doesn't really matter if you, Pedro, are an American citizen or not. You look like an immigrant, so the door is open for this little harassment.What makes it a bad law?
the illegal immigrant problem isn't one that I want to ignore. But this law makes you available for police inquiry for looking Mexican. The problem is lack of enforcement at the border. But there is also a lack of enforcement at the employer. The Mexicans are here for jobs. Why not crack down on their 'enablers'? The employers hiring illegal immigrants? Dry up their source of money to send out of the country to their families in Mexico.
But that would criminalize the activities of a lot of rich White folks, wouldn't it? It is so easy to roust the Brown skinned folks rather than their employer, huh?
And that's why this is a bad law.
You're stating an opinion not a fact. Nice try but you fail!
Do yourself a favor and read the bill before you make a complete and utter ass out of yourself.
WHy don't you cite some examples of racial profiling that SB1070 has caused. Even though it hasn't been implemented yet.
I believe this law targets the ones easiest to harass and ignores the reason illegals are here in the first place: unscrupulous employers.
