ace...I really dont get your incredulity or righteous indignation.

There are several legitimate constitutional issues with the law....particularly regarding the federal v state role in legislating immigration enforcement and civil rights.

As well as concerns expressed by law enforcement professionals of the potential adverse impact on community policing in Hispanic communities. The law undermines trust within the Hispanic community...knowing that you can be approached anytime by a cop, based solely on "suspicion" or "reasonable cause" and asked to prove your citizenship. Would you be more inclined to report crimes to cops or avoid them?
