For those who believe that this law will cause racial profiling, was created by racists and that people who look to be Mexican will be stopped while just minding their own business....you can read the actual Senate bill here:
I was reading some of the comments and I laughed at some because of their ignorant way to put the blame on illegal immigrants. For those people who are working here illegally thank you for working as hard as you do. I've seen hispanic people selling oranges on one corner of a busy street while on the other side there's a white guy begging for money but if you try to give him pennies he immediately says no because he wants a dollar!!!! hahaha and I guess the illegal guy is to blame because he took the white "legal" citizen's oranges??? Come on!!! Another thing, welfare is only given to citizens not illegals. Inform yourselves before you write something stupid. For those who want to go and pick their own lettuce, I would love to see you working 14 hrs a day getting less than min. wage and without a 10 min break every 2 hrs. No starbucks either. Sorry. People let's look at ourselves and think what we've done wrong and if it was a crime because we wanted a better future for ourselves and our families.
No, it's not a crime to want a better future for ourselves and our families. It IS a crime, however, to cross international borders without government permission. It IS a crime to live and work in a foreign country without government permission. Ends do not justify means.
The legislation sounds harsh, however when will other states that surround Arizona start having the gangs and home break-ins and kidnapings that they are experiencing on a regular basis have to deal with it. By the time it gets to their locality, who will be left to help them? Sometimes harsh is reality.
Police have been demanding identification for any or no reason for a long time. This law changes nothing except enforcement of immigration law. I would be happy to provide evidence of citizenship on demand if it meant holding illegal aliens to the law. I would hope that any US citizen would.
IF WE WANT SAFETY , SECURITY AND FREEDOM ..WE MUST PASS THIS LAW NOW .... I DONT CONSIDER NOT BEING ABLE TO WALK THROUGH CERTAIN "HOODS " IN MY OWN COUNTY FREE BECAUSE YOU MIGHT WEAR THE WRONG COLOR AND GET SHOT OR JUMPED ...IM TIRED OF ALL THE VIOLENCE ILLEGALS AND THEIR SPAWN BRING WITH THEM ....GO BACK TO MEXICO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our president, Barak Obama was holding court on a flight to the Midwest and was asked about illegal immigration and the Arizona law. He said "...if you've got hundreds of thousands of people coming in, not playing by the rules, that's a problem." He offered NO suggestions on resolving the issue of illegals in this country, but did say that "I know there may not be an appetite immediately to dive into another controversial issue." In other words, he wants to wait until after the mid-term election so as not to alienate his support base.
As a LEGAL American, Obama says that I will need to show proof of insurance. At the same time, he says that forcing ILLEGAL aliens to show proof of citizenship "threatens to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans." Just how two faced can he be?
November can't arrive soon enough.
In February, 2009, a vote was taken on Amendment #604, the extension of E-Verify which is a process to identify ILLEGAL aliens in the workplace. Many prominent Democrats voted AGAINST the amendment. These individuals were elected to represent their LEGAL American constituents. Instead, in their pursuit of votes, they decided to vote in favor of ILLEGAL aliens.
It is reasonable to assume that these same Senators will vote in favor of giving ILLEGAL aliens complete amnesty.
The next time you vote, remember the Senator from your state that voted against all LEGAL Americans, like YOU.
It's time that we vote against politicians that vote in favor of ILLEGAL aliens. Vote them out of office, this November!

The entire issue should be YOU ARE HERE ILLEGALLY! What more should be said. Go back to where you came from and enter the United States of America (NOT MEXICO OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY) LEGALLY!!!!!!! Try to go to another country ILLEGALLY and see what happens to you. I don't understand why when found they are not immediately sent back. Why do they have any rights here. I'm not being mean, but go back and then apply to come back LEGALLY!
Why don't they just expand the policy to cover everybody?? Require EVERYONE to be able to supply proof of citizenship. Thats not hard if you are really a citizen, you would have a drivers license, a birth certificate, a social security card, all normal everyday items of identification that we all have available. I would not have any problem showing my ID becuase I am a legal citizen. The only people who should be afraid of this law are the illegals and the people who employ them. Get rid of all the illegals and give the jobs to all of our own citizens who are on welfare and unemployment and would dearly LOVE to work but CAN'T becuase a MEXICAN has their job. I say GO ARIZONA!!!!
Don`t forget that,we are at war against terrorism.We must give the right for the police to stop anybody!!!!!!!!Arizona is tha gateway to any criminals,and terrorists.

You bring up a very good point.....Arizona has specific problems that need to be dealt with.
If the Federal Government had done what they needed to, way back in the 80's-90's, securing the border, we wouldn't have to get to this point....but they were complicit.
Yes, and people who are here legally shouldn't worry. They have the proof they will need to present. How this should be dealt with is, to have those who claim to have documentation but not on them should be allowed to be escorted by an officer to get their proof and present it.
Or even take them to a holding cell, and get a search warrant or permission to search the selected area in which it is claimed to be, but that would just take more time and money than needed.

CBS and the other liberal media probably should have looked at this before creating mass hysteria.
