Now, I totally agree with legal immigration and I think one thing that would help is if legal immigration was made easier, but (and I'm not 100% positive on this) hasn't legal immigration been made so stringent since 9-11 that it is really hard for anyone to immigrate here?
I do understand that Mexico, how should I put this nicely, kind of sucks. There really aren't options there. 6th grade is their highest cumpulsory grade, after that you have to pay for an education and it is costly and people don't make a lot. I get that they want the benefits of the United States but do it legally. It may take a long time, but why would you want to take the chance of all the risks associated with illegal immigration.

While I am glad that the state made a law, I never said I thought it was going to be easy to enforce. The state keeps cutting back on all funding. The police department, while they need more officers, can't afford to hire anymore.

I'm kind of guessing that unless the driver is behaving erratically, or there is another reason for them (the officers) to pull them over, they aren't just going to pull over a random Hispanic (for no reason) other than be like "prove your legal". They don't have the time. Now, I'm sure there will be some boneheaded, racist officer who will do crap like what I mentioned, but that isn't going to be all of them. Unfortunately, when that one bonehead does it, suddenly it is on the national news and everyone is screaming racism.

I really think the motive behind this law is to get people in Washington D.C. to WAKE THE HELL UP and do what they should be doing. The federal government should be protecting the borders, not the individual states, but yet that is what CA and AZ are trying to do and these two states are probably the two most "broke" (money wise) in the U.S.
