Re: new Arizona illegal immigration enforcement law
What I suspect won't pass constitutional muster is the distinct possibility that under such a law a citizen not carrying an id may be arrested - at least temporarily - on suspicion of being illegal. Of course, with the current balance on the Supreme Court, I can see a 5-4 decision in favour of the law!

It worked regarding the MLK holiday, as the article points out. I think losing the Superbowl was what made politicians change their mind on that one.

NO NO NO. Boycotts won't work. That's exactly what they want - for anybody that is not "one of them" to stay the **** away. Whenever Farmers Branch gets out of hand, all of the gazillions of Latinos in Dallas go over there and protest. That usually shuts them up for a while. Lately they've turned their attention to the wife swappers. Apparently, in Farmers Branch it's illegal to be a swinger. This little campaign of hate was a little more successful though ... I guess it's a little trickier to get a bunch of wife swappers to take to the streets in front of the local media.

The federal government requires you to carry your green card; a state government cannot so mandate.

When you get stopped for doing 37 in a 35, I hope you'll remember what you are saying now. You could get a cop with a chip on his or her shoulder about immigrants in general. You can tell him or her all you like about "I'm legal see...I have a drivers license". As someone else said, he or she could say I don't believe it's a legit one and down to the slammer you go.

Re: new Arizona illegal immigration enforcement law
There's a Dallas suburb called Farmers Branch that gets the hump every now and then and acts like they think they're in Arizona or something. They do the thinly veiled (read that as not veiled in the least) racist witch hunts. Recently it was some nonsense about throwing landlords in jail if they were found renting to illegals.
Well, all except the black guy on the far right. I presume he's the refreshment boy.

And Sheriff Joe is on Twitter? Doesn't seem like his style.

Warning, not suitable for children.
Sheriff Joe has full-time publicists paid for with our tax money. I should think they Twitter for him.

Re: new Arizona illegal immigration enforcement law
It looks like some kind of club the county set up to make old people feel relevant.
"In order to help keep crimes from occurring against property and residents, there must be a show of trained personnel patrolling the streets at all times as a deterrent. The Sheriff's Posse is not only the largest Posse in Maricopa County, but also the best trained. You, as a resident of Sun City West, are the only person allowed to become a member of the Posse."

That's the Sheriff's Posse of Sun City West. They patrol in golf carts and keep Sun City fresh and clean. Of course, the brown folk from the nearby slum of Mirage are allowed in and out (in daylight hours only) to clean the pool and do the landscaping.

What if somebody needed CPR? I doubt they could muster up a chest compression amongst them.
