Basically, they can demand papers if you're guilty of Driving While Mexican. <br /><br />This is why I hate this law so much, as do a majority of Latinos: the idea of American citizens being asked to undergo the humiliating experience of being thought to be illegal lawbreakers based on their race is humiliating and rage-inducing. The fact that many non-Latinos don't understand why this is humiliating is pretty much typical spoiled-white-manchild stuff. <br /><br />There's such a thing as laws that undercut law and order, because it fills people with resentment and mistrust of agents like police.Julian Perezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276143599750947248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6250269071385467004.post-43365720796801689882010-05-19T18:57:14.703-04:002010-05-19T18:57:14.703-04:00"There are a few token prohibitions in HB 216..."There are a few token prohibitions in HB 2162, the follow-up law, of course, that officers should not take into account "race, color or national origin" in its enforcement, but that's a laugh: does Arizona share a border with the lily-white Ruritania from the Prisoner of Zenda?"<br /><br />So far I have yet to hear anyone explain how the heck you're supposed to tell who is here illegally and who isnt. Its not all illegals can be easily spotted because they'll never wear white sneakers or they have a glow that can be seen if you special glasses.Eduardo M.http://www.myspace.com/edfreynoreply@blogger.com
