I'm guessing that the massive emotional response to this law will mean that it will be repealed shortly, but assuming that it were not police departments would have to enforce the law and not profile. It seems like a fairly easy thing to do. It's something that many police departments (mostly in cooperation with ICE) are already doing.Why do you think the law will be repealed? Is there any evidence that the majority of Arizonans oppose it? I do suspect that most police departments won't go crazy trying to enforce it. First of all, does hanging around Home Depot speaking Spanish constitute reasonable suspicion of illegal presence in the US? Probably not, given that many poor residents work as day laborers too because they can't get ongoing construction jobs. So if you decide you can't detain anyone just for being at Home Depot, what kind of activity actually generates a reasonable suspicion, other than someone carrying a sign saying "I am an illegal alien"? |
