Topic: Racial Profiling In Arizona? | |
---|---|
If you knew as much as you think you do, you would realize that SB 1070 just reinforces the federal law at the state level. And once again, nowhere in the law does it say ANYTHING about race. I've read the bill in its entirety. True statement quoted. Okay so tell me how you "reasonably suspect" a person is an alien as written in the bill and not be discriminatory or racially biased? |

still no references to the LAW that requires non drivers to carry identification,,,,, if its indeed a law, it should be easily researched and I find no such MANDATE anywhere first, because people dont all drive, and therefore wouldnt all have drivers license which only leaves state id's, which last I checked are not mandatory for any reason....unless you need to prove age for a purchase or to enter an adult establishment i thought we settled that...you were right. ![]() not referring to you mighty,, someone else posted after you ,,sorry |

As a matter of fact there isn't really anything in this bill directed towards any one group or all groups of minorities, more or less it is like an informational pamphlet of the already existing laws. |

I think the point of debate is about under what condition 'REASONABLE SUSPICION EXISTS THAT THE PERSON IS AN ALIEN WHO IS 23 UNLAWFULLY PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES' its kind of like saying having a 'reasonable suspicion' that someone wasnt born in ohio,,,,citizenship is a question of paperwork, so how would one SUSPECT one didnt have papers,,,? |

Oh, well, that is easy. You're both completly confusing what 'reasonable suspicion' in law enforcement means. Of course there are always going to be a few bad apples in a tree, but for the most part 'reasonable suspicion' is dictated by how the person acts or how they answer questions...or even by the documents they cannot present. 'Reasonable suspicion' does not mean, "oh, hey, look over there...he is a different color than me." |

'Reasonable suspicion' does not mean, "oh, hey, look over there...he is a different color than me." That is not true. "Reasonable suspicion" is so vague it means all of the above and beyond. We cannot support a law that allows racially biased search and seizure based from a vague terminology that allows pretty much cart blanc. Sorry no human who stands up for human rights will go for that. It allows racism to have free reign again. |

the courts are the one to ultimately decide weather the person is legal or not, not the police... the police just take them to the courts.

How can they suspect them of being illegally here on sight without being discriminatory or racially biased? |

I know people will scream about the economy when we threaten 'free market' in any way,,but I still think the fairest way to deal with immigration is by ENFORCING the laws , especially with employers. Those who are hiring people without PROPER documentation(employers are required to report employment to the government and required to verify an applicants right to work with some legitimate documentation),,,,,these checks and balances are mandatory for EVERY person who wants to work for an employer and cant therefore be discriminatory.
All the employers found employing illegal immigrants should be faced with a fine equal to the amount they would have had to pay an american worker for that time,,,that eliminates the employers motivation for hiring the illegal immigrant and that eliminates the illegal immigrants motivation for skipping over the laws and the borders to come here |
