Subject: RE: BS: 'Your papers, please' - for US citizens?
Dear Mr. Old Dude,
You said, "It is a terrible thing to think that anyone in America should have to show papers ... This is not pre WWII Germany."


Police already have the authority to demand that you identify yourself, including some proof of your identity when any kind of complaint is made against you. As for Germany, papers were demanded before, during and after the war. Since 9-11 I have had to show a driver's license every time I take my wife to work, not because I am a terrorist but because some nut wit thought it was going to be a deterrent to terrorists.

If the Arizona suspicion law is allowed to progress to other states, as Mr. Rigshitanslinger hopes, white nut wits will end up causing another unecessary war against America from within. Then the nit wits will cry, where is all our California produce?! Where is our lawn care guys?! Why are the normally peaceful hispanics now violent?! Hey, where's the maid?

The hardship of immigrants, with or without green cards, having to leave their children behind or having their wife or husband deported is already so outlandish that new repressive laws aimed at 1/30th of our population will be the straw that broke the donkey's back.

No, old dude this is not Nazi Germany, it is America with many people who do not even know when their brand of patriotism or fear is actually more fascist than freedom loving.

Mr. Rigshitanslingit, wants MORE States to adopt the Arizona law. Perhaps he is right in that the law does not go far enough. Perhaps a suspicion of being an immigrant without papers is only a start.
The law should go farther and include being stopped for suspicion of being an Ass Hole. In which case Rig would be arrested at once.
If you think SUPER SIZING our suspicions by giving Police more powers of suspicion will solve anything regarding border control and immigration policy, then you are just plain superstitious and superstupid.


IF ANY OF YOU REALLY WANT MORE ARIZONA LAWS...consider this:

suspicion of being a non believer? been there done that.
suspicion of being a Jew? been there done that.
suspicion of being a socialist? been there done that.

suspicion of being hispanic? Let's see how this one turns out.
