Arizona law isn't anything new...
Critics argue that Arizona's new immigration law unfairly singles out immigrants and makes them carry their immigrant ID with them at all times. They say that it will lead to racial profiling. Well, first off, that doesn't even make sense, since you can't profile "illegal." You can't be prejudiced against "illegal." Plain foolishness. Well, liberals are jumping on the bandwagon here (all the way to Pres. Obama) and claiming this bill is a gross representation of how the Federal government want's immigrants treated. Really? 'Cause the federal law seems pretty clear to me......
§ 1304. Forms for registration and fingerprinting
(e) Personal possession of registration or receipt card; penalties
Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him pursuant to subsection (d) of this section. Any alien who fails to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction for each offense be fined not to exceed $100 or be imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both.
So either the liberals (and Pres. Obama) don't know the federal law, or they are too lazy to change it. I'm thinking it might be both. Either way, keep it up Arizona!
