I'm with Edward on this one. I don't want our country instituting dragnets on drivers. That's an unwanted step towards becoming a police state.
Plus this practice is just another ineffective approach for fixing the problem. Problems should should be dealt with and solved at their source, not with haphazard methods like police roadblocks for everyday drivers (I'm fine with them being at the borders). Illegals come here for work and for government handouts. People who hire illegals should be punished with fines and jail time. That will dry up the jobs. Government should not issue benefits to non-citizens. That will dry up the free bennies. And our borders should be guarded well. That will dry up the incoming. Those are the simple answers to the illegals problem and how it should be done…NOT by harassing innocent citizens innocently driving the roads.
Today I am harassed for my ID every time I make a transaction because of criminals who commit fraud. What's next, an imbedded chip to prove you are who you say your are? Then there are the dragnets for catching drinkers driving the roads. Why should innocent people be treated like suspects and suffer because some people are bad? Why should our world be turned upside down and defined by the criminals? Instead I'd rather see crime disappear by making the criminals disappear. Harsher punishment instead of the revolving door policy we now have in our jails would go a long way to reduce crime in our society...something that liberals don't seem to want.
