And when those are circumvented? Then what?
Are you a mentalist?
We haven't even tried
It has been a half assed attempt thus far, technology is 1980's and the man power is underfunded.

or carrying a large bag for the stolen goods?
A dead giveaway is walking around Phoenix eating a loaf of French bread. ha ha ha!
A clunky car will always give them away ( arent they the only ones with crappy cars?)
Carrying avocados out of the Safeway is a sure giveaway.
Wow, are the cops going to have their hands full!!!!!

How did that work, liking the government much?
Changing probably cause to include PHYSICAL APPEARANCE is not a big thing?
Really guys, you are thinking like serfs
Think long term, governmental process and warping...
Ah, a terrorist attack
Right wing Extremist did it!
"OH GOOD, AZ. gives us a legal foothold to stop people based upon appearance to fight TERRORISM!!!"
My god folks-
Tomorrow is not the problem
BTW we CAN build a barrier, a real one, have we really tried, emphasis on tried?

I am merely looking ahead.
*People loaded into a pick up truck
*A group loitering at Home Depot, the Workforce C omission/Unemployment Office
*Vehicles with a Mexican flag or their names on the back window in Olde English
*People working in a field or day labour.
All of the above provide reasonable suspicion, which is all that is needed, without the dreaded racial profiling.
Are you going to get some people who are not illegal? Sure. You will also get a bunch off innocents being brought in for questioning in robberies, homicides, etc.

Nobody is getting arrested based on physical appearance, I don't know why this keeps coming up.
I can and do understand the long term consequences of this bill, the problem issue is that the constitution give the authority to the government to protect us from illegal immigration. As well as it should, that comes with some trade offs.
I don't know what to tell ya, it's either really start to fix the problem by actively seeking to solve it or let it keeping going how it is going. I'll repeat, it is absolutely pointless to build a fence and say lets hope this works. Because when it doesn't, as it hasn't worked, what do you propose then?
Look the problem has to stop.

*ahem*.....THOSE ARE ALL RACIAL PROFILING. Some people just don't get it...no...they CAN'T GET IT. I am now sure it is impossible for some people to see

And this is completely different then what this bill is about.
Your comparison would make sense if there was someone sitting on the border and saw a mexican male wearing a blue shirt cross the border...then they put an APB out for all mexican males with blue shirts in the area....find that ONE and let everyone else go. Otherwise your comparison is dumb.
the BERLIN WALL, worked VERY well sir and it did not not benefit from modern technology, built OVER 50 years ago. You could count the breaches on a page,
not millions...

I don't even know what to say to this statement.....
Yea the Berlin Wall worked very well when you know that there were armed guards that would shoot and kill people who tried to go over the wall if they couldn't catch and arrest them and throw them in the Gulag.
And you want to talk about long term consequences of this bill, when you suggest a Berlin-esque Wall?
Look the fact remains that Most of the illegal immigrants are of Spanish decent. It's a fact, it can't be changed, this is the situation we are dealing with. You can blame the government for having to resort to these policies for not enforcing the law to begin with.

It is. It's like some people just can't see past their nose to realize that most of the illegal immigrants are of Spanish decent. It's a huge problem that needs to be dealt with. The businesses that hire them need to be cracked down on also, but it makes absolutely no sense to start going after littler old white ladies and start carding them for their immigration status.
Besides all you have to do is carry your green card or BC on you at all times and if you are legal no worries. Just co-operate with the police and you are golden.
I guess also some people don't understand that in order to live in a free society that affords us luxuries beyond other countries there are some trade offs. I will admit that the trade off should be limited, but there are trade off's non the less.
