U.S. against the immigrants

Hazelton Pa has a viscious law against illegal immigrants. Now, a nowhere place like Prince William County, Va. is on the verge of stepping the law up, running checks on ANYONE they stop for "probable" cause. Has Big Brother gone too far?

 

With construction down, those immigrants have no skills in a high-priced area. But what's going to happen is that people who aren't immigrants are going to be hassled for "probable cause."

 

They should never have let all those Irish into the country in the first placee. Drunks and troublemakers.

 

My major concern in this would be how law enforcement plans on determining who they should ask in order to verify legal status. Is it now a legal requirement that policemen ask everyone they pull over to prove they area US citizen? If not, what gives them the right to demand that a motorist, or pedestrian, produce documents proving their legal status?

F_H, if someone walked up to you right now and demanded proof that you are a legal resident, are you able to do so?

 

The Irish came here legally, the key distinction you seem to be missing.

 

Which is what's going to happen. No S.S. card. No proof.

 

I can't believe I am actually going to write these words -- I agree 100 percent with Pastor on this. He is 100 percent right.

This is more rights infringements from the "greater good" crowd, the ones who seem to think the bill of rights and constitution can be thrown out the window any time our lives seem a little bit unsafe. It is the same kind of heavy-handed, knuckle dragging, draconian methods Rudy used to "clean up crime" in New York while turning it damn near into an area under the rule of martial law.

I don't want cops stopping me to ask me what I am doing and where I belong and I certainly don't think cops have traditionally shown the kind of judgement worthy of getting such a blank check to fuck with other people, either.

 

A social security card is NOT proof.

There are only three forms of evidence that can prove legal US status:
1. Green Card. This is provided to temporary residents. It has a photo on it and provides an expiration date. It also shows the birthdate and address of the individual holding it.

2. Passport. This, again, has a photo, is produced by the country and provides personal information about the holder.

3. A birth certificate and driver's license. One of them alone does NOT work. The driver's license is a government issued document that should provide information about your residence and age, as well as photo. You need the birth certificate to prove that you were born in this country and are therefore a legal resident.


So, I ask again, how many people walk around their everyday lives carrying such items?

Do you walk around with your birth certificate?
I assume you are referring to your driver's license when you say "government issued ID", so I will only point out that it isn't good enough.
