Sweet home Alabama where the skies are so blue

Something tells me that this will turn into a "Hey, does that guy kinda look Mexican to you? Lets card him!"

I'm very sorry, I don't support this bill at all and I get your point, but if your going after Mexican illegal immigrants, don't you look for, I don't know, Mexicans?

Canadians and East Asians also enter the nation illegally. Several Europeans have been known to stay past their visas. It isn't only Mexicans who are illegal immigrants.

I understand that, and know I don't support this bill at all, and thank you for clarifying.

I'd rather not be arrested because I look vaguely Mexican.

1. There are a number of 'White' Mexicans

2. There are a number of legal Mexican Immigrants

3. That's racial profiling, which is not kosher.

1. I'm sure.

2. I'm sure.

3. I don't understand how else you'd do it, but I get why it's unacceptable.

[Brandenburg-Altmark]

Brown people are all illegals. Hooray Alabama. Don't bother spending that money fixing your #47-8 Education ranking, just throw out anyone who looks brown or talks "funny," regardless of whether or not they're contributing more than the white trash you seem to have no trouble with.

[You-Gi-Owe]

Use it or lose it.

That's not how it works. Unless you advocate 'Use it or lose it' for all aspects of the law - such as the Bill of Rights.

I find it astounding that the states may not make laws in the attempt to help the federal government..

Imagine if the Secret Service had details on the President and the Vice President, but the agents of one official weren't allowed to save the other official.

Help? No.

Usurp authority to score political points? Yes.

One less politician, bro.

I'm sure that the Secret Service would be delighted if the sheriffs of Bumfuck County showed up at the White House and demanded that they be allowed to enact their own policies to protect the executive branch.

[Conserative Morality]

I find it astounding that you think that the States should be allowed to usurp the Federal government.

Imagine if the Secret Service had details on the President and the Vice President, but the agents of one official weren't allowed to save the other official.

Imagine if the VP didn't like a bill the president was going to pocket-veto, so the VP signed it for him.

Because that's a much more relevant analogy.

Dude, seriously, shut up. The bigotry is literally making a goddamn river out of your mouth.

Nice bait, bro.

"I'm sure" is what you're talking about, I suppose? It's not sarcasm, but thank you for jumping to conclusions.

[Simon Cowell of the RR]

Makes sense. You bust some guy for selling drugs, he does not have ID on him, and speaks Spanglish. He must be here illegally!

[Bitchkitten]

Yeah, I'll bet a lot of caucasians get stopped and asked to prove citizenship. Gotta stop those Canadians.

[Greater Tezdrian]

Thank the Gods for Alabama. Just waitin' on Virginia...

[Naurobia]

I hate these kinds of laws. They involve racial profiling. How else would you suspect that a person might be here illegally without looking at papers first. My family is Hispanic but they are here legally and first came here more than 100 years ago for a better life. Not to be racially profiled and suspected of illegal status.

[Sunny Marionette]

It will lead to more stereotyping, racial profiling, and racism. Not things we need more of.

Exactly. I think the Supreme Court should amend the Constitution to prevent states and localities from passing these types of laws.

I'm pretty sure they will. Their latest decision allows states to pass laws penalizing employers that employ illegals, but I don't think they're going to allow border control to be left up to the states.

Then again, with the speed of our congress...

There are also a growing number of illegal immigrants that are not Mexican...

[Caninope]

Is this really going to be so hard? Won't driver licenses work anyway?

[Arkinesia]

Good, America for Americans, these Mexicanos can become an American, they can just do it legally, like everyone else did.

Well other than the guys who built the railroads.

Oh, you didn't know? Chinese immigrants, legal and illegal, were largely responsible for the western railroads.

Were you aware too that Charlize Theron was an illegal immigrant?

I find it hilarious that the same things people said of Chinese immigrants in the 1880s are said now of the Mexicans.

[The Black Forrest]

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses, yearning to breath free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

Nice appeal to emotion.

Flunked history did we?

Or just not American.
