Arizona and Immigration

By now you have heard all the pros and cons, arguments for and against, protests, etc. about this immigration bill from AZ. Well, so have I. So I decided to add my 2 bits to the discussion.

With the way the bill is written, I don't see any problem with it. All it does is reinforce the Federal Immigration laws. Asking someone who is stopped for suspicious behavior is not racism, its the law. A police officer doesn't take your word for who you are, you must prove it. When you are stopped for a traffic violation or other offense, the first thing asked for is id. So what is the problem with asking an suspected illegal immigrate who has been stopped, once again been stopped, for some other activity, for id? NOTHING! Officers can't stop them unless they are doing something else suspicious.

If the Federal Government was enforcing the laws already on the books, states wouldn't have to take matters into their own hands.
