The US and immigration, confusing.
I think the immigration rules and policy is a bit confusing seen from an European view. Is it the case in the US that the police can not arrest some one for being an illegal alien? If that's the case, it seems strange because in every country in the EU, you can (and probably the rest of the world). For example i can go to Germany, France and so on but i am required to carry some sort of ID or at least have an ID that can prove that i am European (schengen). Is it something like this Arizona is trying to impose? Or is there something i am missing, since they are getting a lot of heat this days.
Another related question, you can apply for work permit to the US. You can go in to the US as a tourist. And you can also get in as a student. But as i understand there are some rules you have to comply with. If you are trying to use some of the social services you can get expelled. So the way i understand it, you have less rights entering legally in to the US than getting there illegally?
