But stopping someone in the middle of the street for no reason other than they look like an illegal immigrant is basically going to accuse a lot of American citizens of being criminals. At least if you check people for status when you arrest them for other crimes, you aren't harassing otherwise law-abiding citizens.

So how do you identify and illegal immigrant by sight? Do they have it tattooed on their face?

THIS.

Exactly. Might I add the observation that some of the worst crimes in history have been committed by legal residents or those who were in the country legally.

Applying a band-aid to an amputation is not effective. And what we have in AZ is yet another band-aid solution to a problem that's been well covered by publications as diverse as High Country News and the New Yorker.

Sigh. Like I said. This.Makes.Me.Crazy.
