The fact that you can be a legal citizen but stopped and forced to show your citizenship once, weekly, daily or hourly is government sponsored harassment.
Forcing one group of legal citizens to carry a different level of identification than other groups is discrimination.

Because it isn't enforced. Government isn't in the business of harassing big business because by hiring illegals Arizona businesses can keep prices down.

So then why would we think this new law will work if immigrants consistently use fake papers? A business owner should have the same ability (no more or less) to identify false paperwork as law enforcement officials. If not they should not be hiring immigrant workers. Same standards should be held.

No. Not if there is no work. Take the lollipop away and the ants disappear. It's that simple.

Yes, it will. Take away the lollipop and the ants disappear.
How is the government able to enforce "illegal to enter the country without proper documentation" if law enforcement is unable to ask for it?[/quote]
This encourages the proactive hunting of undocumented residents by the use of "reasonable suspicion": a very vague and a bit frightening amount of power to give.
