Where do you stand on it? How do you feel about the issue of illegal immigration in general?
Well that's a very close minded argument that shows you obviously don't know any illegals personally. Let me just say; any stereotypes you've been taught to believe are wrong.
And your example about robbery, well robbery is a violent crime and violent crimes physically and mentally harm others, those are crimes which cannot be tolerated and can never be decriminalized or liberated. Illegal immigration is something that perhaps can be liberated and can be done so without destroying the foundations of a normally functioning society. By reporting illegals, you'd be committing more harm (by sending them back to their usually dreadful countries) than they are doing by living and working here.
That's my view on it, not really up for debating it (perhaps), that's not my thing, just wanted to put my views out there.
>>Is a driver's license considered proof of insurance?
Proof of insurance? I guess you mean citizenship? As you said, some states don't require proof of legality in order to get your license. Not to mention what about people who don't intend on driving?
And having random cops approach you UNDER NO SUSPICION and ask for your identification is such infringement on civil liberties.
I don't know, I feel like half the world really doesn't care how little freedom and protection against the law they have anymore, especially when it's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.
Here they are approach you which automatically means you are assumed guilty and then you are proving yourself innocent by showing your proper form of ID. Total BS imo.
>>So what if a cop asks you for your ID? It's not going to do anything except make your interruption via the cop move along quicker.
Yes, unless you happen to just run out to grab something from the deli without your ID, or you forgot to bring your ID with you that day. Have fun getting detained for the rest of your day.
Yea it does, they are approaching you under the assumption that you are illegal, otherwise you wouldn't be approached in the first place.
So then what do you define as suspicious? Someone with a turban and a beard? Someone who looks like they're from South America? That's obviously wrong on many different levels and probably even worse than it being random.
>>I was under the impression that the law stated that anyone who was pulled over (or confronted) by police for one reason could also be checked for their citizenship, not that this could be a reason to pull someone over (or confront them). This would be a minor but good specification.
95% sure it's that they'd be specifically looking for aliens to pull over and ask for proof of citizenship. Hell, if it was what you stated I'd be for it too.

Hell, even the federal government is challenging that law.
