I support the tea party objective of reining in public spending, yet have no real problem being required to carry my green card. It's a bit of a pain, but that's about it.
But perhaps because I don't have brown skin or speak Spanish my views don't matter. Oh well...
Because if you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about, right? Every act is a small step. Every act seems inconsequential at the time.
OK, thanks for reminding me of the classic libertarian justification for doing nothing about anything ever, but you're actually quoting it out of context.
You will doubtless remember that the maxim ends "And then they came for me, and there was nobody left to complain". Well, in this case they have come for me, since I am an immigrant, and I don't think it's a big deal to be required to carry ID. I carry ID anyway. I am as much the focus of this law as a Mexican living in Arizona.
I actually wasn't referencing the "Then they came for me" idea, I was referencing the justification in this country, this century, for the intrusions and restrictions on civil liberty put in place by the arts and crafts departments of homeland insecurity and the US PATRIOT Acts I and II.
And Bob, if you aren't Mexican, even IF you were living in AZ, maybe especially IF, no, you aren't. Not even close.
