Thread Name: BS: Arizona law on detaining illegal aliens
Subject: RE: Immigrants: Jan Brewer takes step to save America
For Christ's sake, the law is being intentionally misinterpreted by the major new sources, just as it is misinterpreted by artbrooks.

A driver who runs a stop sign in Casa Grande will be asked for a drivers license, just like they would be in any other place in the United States.

A California drivers license is OK, one from New Mexico is OK, so is one from any other state.

The law states:

    A person is presumed to not be an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States if the person provides to the law enforcement officer or agency any of the following:
       1. A valid Arizona driver license.
       2. A valid Arizona nonoperating identification license.
       3. A valid tribal enrollment card or other form of tribal identification.
       4. If the entity requires proof of legal presence in the United States before issuance, any valid United States federal, state or local government issued identification.
