Obama's Immigration Hypocrisy

I know, which is why it's not as "dangerous". If it was enforced by cops, people who can pull you over for any traffic violation any time, it would be different, but since it's enforced by the FBI and the ICE, it's not that big of a deal. When's the last time you saw an FBI agent come to your house just to see your papers and check your residence status?

No cop is going to go to a house in AZ and ask for residence status. If that's what you believe, then you never read the law i posted yesterday.

Well yes, they do that now, but if a cop really felt passionate about illegal immigrants he could pull you over because of your skin color because of a minor traffic violation because he's hoping to catch an illegal and deport him/her back.

Jesus Christ. You are unbelievable. I really, truly believe you don't digest what i've said in the last 3 days with documented proof to rebut your silly assertions! He can't pull you over for skin color. He HAS TO contact ICE. It's mandatory! They can't pull them over, throw them and jail and haul them to the border and say, 'See ya!'

You have a comprehension problem here. You're not even being the slightest bit objective. You're just parroting the same shit that i read on the left wing sites when i read them after this became law. It's unreal! You defend the people who broke federal law and chastise the state that's going to enforce the law AS IT IS WRITTEN IN FEDERAL LAW!

AZ shouldn't make a law that will hassle American citizens, it should enforce laws on businesses and secure the border as much as it can. I have no problem with anti-illegal immigration laws, as long as they don't harass other American citizen because of their heritage.
If you'd enforce the drying out of jobs that hire illegals, it wouldn't bother anybody but the illegals, but that would mean that businesses might not give their vote to that party anymore, so this option is better.

It's the same law that the federal government has. It's exact!

Cops are just as human as every other person, and among them are people who have no problem with pulling over Latinos for going 5 miles over the speed limit just to see if they can't catch an illegal alien.
I don't believe anybody should get a job because of skin color and the same goes for education, I don't even know where you got that from.

LMAO! You ever heard of Affirmative Action? That bill allows people to be hired based on color and gender. That's my point. That happens but we can't have illegal Mexicans immigration status called into question. Nawww. Might offend them.

Let me try to explain this one more time, maybe I'm not explaining it right.

A police officer sees 4 Mexicans driving 5 miles over the speed limit. He decides to pull them over FOR GOING 5 MILES OVER, just to see and check their residence status. It takes him some time to check the residence status of all the people in the car, a lot longer than it would if he didn't have to.
If the people in the car were 4 white guys, the probably wouldn't have gotten pulled over and even if, they would be out of there faster since the cop wouldn't have to check their residence status.
That's racial profiling.

The difference between the federal law and the AZ law is who enforces it.
FBI agents don't have the opportunity to pull people over for going 5 miles over the speed limit just to check their residence status, because they don't pull people over.
Cops on the other hand do have that power, making it likely for Latinos to get pulled over for minor traffic violations just so the cop can check residence status.

I know the cop doesn't haul them back across the border, but he's responsible for checking the residence status and then contacting the immigration office, who will then take it from there.

I don't defend illegal immigrants by this, I defend Latinos (Americans) who have to sit at a traffic stop for a longer time just because of their skin color.

Once again, the difference between the federal law and the AZ law is who enforces it and how they enforce it.

I'm not a fan of Affirmative Action, as I've told you in the past. ANd it's not hassling illegals, it's hassling Americans that just happen to look like illegals. If 10 million illegal immigrants from Canada would invade the US and the cop would pull you over for a minor traffic violation just to check your residence status, would you like that?

Ok, i'm taking the time to copy/paste this law right here. You owe me! I'm going to bold the areas where you have problems. I'm going to bold the areas that protect Mexican-Americans...........

If you take the time to actually read thru this, there's protections for citizens who would otherwise be wrongly targeted (as you refer to). They will have the right to sue the state based on profiling alone.

And how can you prove that you were racially profiled? If you got pulled over for going 5 miles over the speed limit, then the cop is allowed to do that and that can be his sole reason in court, and it would hold up.

I don't know. You're the one so concerned about it, you tell me.

You can't, that's exactly what I've been telling you. It leaves a wide gap for cops to racially profile in order to "clean up" their state.

And there's places in that law that are very stringent on the authorities to NOT profile. By them getting reckless with profiling allows (via this law as written) the 'profilee' to sue and sue big. The state is going to make damn sure it doesn't have to go thru court proceedings with blatant profiling. Because then, you get the DOJ involved with civil rights violations.

And laws always keep people from doing it, right?

You're playing games again.

Right. Because when the law says that it's illegal to racially profile, every cop adheres to that. And when they don't, it can always be proven in court.
