It has nothing to do with race, except perhaps from your standpoint.I remember reading the definition of racism in the dictionary.
It pretty much stated that if you feel that your race is better or more privileged than another race you are a textbook racist.
That being the case...why are we supposed to secede special rights and privileges to any specified racial group?
Why must we look the other way when they break our laws....invade our country...use our health care that we pay for and just ignore it. Why must we allow them to go around the normal process set forth by the powers that be because as with any bureaucracy the paperwork and the system seems to be the problem....not the solution?
After all...that is what Al Sharpton and Barrack H. Obama are telling us we must do. We must allow racism to take place to avoid being labeled racist ourselves.
Isn't that what they're saying?
Any thoughts?
The law makes it probable that citizens of the United States will be forced to carry papers else risk being put in jail.
I've been trying to point exactly that...but for some strange reason Obama and the Democrats seem to want to make it about race.
If you had been reading my posts on this thread or others my point has been that is a legal issue...not a racial issue. But for some reason Obama and the city of San Francisco thinks it's about fairness which is a sneaky way of saying it's discriminatory.
There is almost zero risk that a citizen of the United States will be put in jail for not having identification with them. Why? Because a citizen of the United States will almost always have their correct name on their vehicle registration, on their driver's license, will almost almost provide their correct address and phone number, place of employment etc.
Let's say a person fits the description of a liquor store robber or mugger the police are looking for and is in the vicinity of the crime. The police will likely stop and question that person. If there is not reasonable cause that the person is suspect, however, he or she will not be arrested after showing proper identification. If s/he doesn't have ID on him/her, then the information provided is easily and quickly verified via phone or whatever.
An illegal usually won't have anybody the cop can call or any address he can use to verify his legal residency. So the cop has probable cause that he is not legal and yes, he can detain him until that is cleared up.
It is already the law of the land that non-citizens must carry documentation with them at all times. I don't see how this law changes a single thing other than removing the cop from accusations of racism if he enforces the law.
