(e) Personal possession of registration or receipt card; penalties
Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him pursuant to subsection (d) of this section. Any alien who fails to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction for each offense be fined not to exceed $100 or be imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both.
Arizona Law will require anyone over 18 arrested or detained for reasonable cause to show this card if there is cause to believe the person is unlawfully in this country illegally:
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 tribal enrollment card or other form of tribal identification.
4. A valid United States federal, state or local government issued identification.
If they can not, they are detained until they can be turned over to the Federal authorities for violation of immigration laws.
There it is in black and white. What is the problem?
Is there anyone out there, ANYONE, that expects NOT to be asked for ID when they are stopped by a police officer?

However, one would assume that similar laws are already on the books. Normally, redundancy is a beautiful thing, in this case though, it seems that they're targeting people who look "Mexican". In New York, that would apply to 80% + of the people I work with.
Can anyone tell me why, with some of the greatest minds in the world within our borders, it's taking so long to contain an oil slick and stop crude oil hemorraging into the Gulf of Mexico?

If Obama wants to ignore our laws, he can and just let them go.
As a matter of fact, Obama can elect to just grant each convict an exception and he can be turned loose after he has served his debt to Arizona.
The Law just makes it a requirement to follow Federal Law.
It doesn't "target" anyone but most unlawful residents that close to the border, just might turn out to be "Mexican." Just my guess.
Oh, it also made human trafficking a crime.
As far as the hole in the Gulf... They have only had the technology to get the oil out of deep water wells for about six years. Guess the technology to stop just hasn't caught up.
They make us wear seat belts, you think they would have something in place for an accident on a well.

As for the oil spill, some engineer probably said," But what if an accident..." and was laughed at. So they shut him up. *shrug*
