Yep.
Part of the problem with that law is if you "appear to be an illegial immagrant" the police can stop and question you. Now I've zero Latina in me, but I do have olive skin (italian and sicilian family), and durning the summer I tan enough to look mexican. By the new rules I could be asked for documentation proof at anytime, and then have to let the local police decide if my docs are "authentic". Immagration is a problem, but making racial profiling into law is just plain wrong.
They have to have probable cause to ask you if you are here illegally. The police cannot just randomly come up and ask you to show your papers.
Darling, if you don't think a cop can pull someone over for bull to stop and question you... ugh, it happens, alot. Aftican americans get this treatment, since 911, arab americans do too. Heck we were pulled over one night @ 1AM, no traffic issues, but the cop wanted to know where we were going in the middle of the night (black cadaliac driving thru the ghetto). Once he realized it was mr saddi driving (a man so pale he glows), it was "oh sorry to bother you", when the neighbor across the street is pulled over it's a 10 minute question and answer, followed by a fix-it ticket (no one's tail light is out monthly), differance? Kenny's a 6 ft black man, mr saddi is white.
