The fact that everybody is calling what Arizona is doing "ignorant" and "racist," and labeling the establishment there as a callous inhuman monstrosity, and belittling the people of Arizona as hicks and rednecks, is exactly why no progress is being made. This is classic divide and conquer, people. We should be reasoning with these people and convincing them (and ourselves) of our shared enemy!

...of course, what Arizona is doing really is ignorant and racist. I'm just saying...

Arizona is just one of many large scale lessons of humanity going on today. Sit down, watch and learn kiddies. And do try to take notes so you can NOT replicate this later.  8)

No.  If any of you fuckers had an ounce of sense, you'd toss AZ out of the union.

The only way people learn is by shoving the lessons of history down their throats over and over until they get painful sores.

Part of that process is documenting.

That is what we should be doing right now.

the main part of the bill is this: YOU NEED TO BE IN THE ACT OF AN INFRACTION TO HAVE YOUR ID REQUESTED.

the bulk of these are, indeed, when you are pulled over

but guess what? YOUR ID IS PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP. and, even far far before the bill was even a glint in AZ's eye it was ILLEGAL to drive without your id

At least one person has already been detained despite having a drivers license with him.  So no, a drivers license is not considered valid by the cops. 

The man in question was probably not suspected of anything either (it happened when he stopped at a truck weigh station), but I'll concede that it is possible there was some irregularity not mentioned by the news.

If you actually read the law (I have by the way) you'll find that:

A) All immigrants must carry a green card at all times (this was already federal law, but they have upped the penalty in Arizona from 100 dollars to 500 dollars, a jail sentence, and deportation).  A driver's license is not proof of legal residence.  Even if it was proof of legal residence, it does not fulfill the requirement of the green card, as per the text of the bill.

B) A cop has full authority to decide if a person is an immigrant.  So even if he has no evidence a person is an immigrant (legal or otherwise), they can be detained for not having a green card on them.

C) Deportation is now mandatory for parking tickets and jaywalking (any fine levied by the government, at all, requires deportation).

Please read the fucking bill before responding.

Hey Req - I used these points in a debate on another forum, and i'm being asked for a citation.

I'm looking at the text of the law, and it looks like a driver's license works. Do you have a better citation?

text of law: http://www.scribd.com/doc/31005811/SB-1070-Signed

                 see page 2, line 37

The cops who arrested him weren't following the law in the first place, it was before the law took effect.

That also doesn't match the version of the bill I have, looks like its the house enrolled version, from before the amendments were pushed on it.

QuoteState investigators have pinpointed the Department of Workforce Services as the source of data used to compile a list of 1,300 people who are purportedly in the country illegally.

The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

This place was featured on either Food Network or the Travel Channel. What's funny is the guy who owns the joint is a dietician and kknows this stuff is bad for you.

cool - now I got the bit about parking tickets requiring deportation

--but what about the part where a driver's license doesn't qualify as proof of citizenship? There are no mentions of drivers licenses, birth certificates, or green cards in this doc.
