[quote name='JolietJake']God damn you're a stubborn individual. You'll only look at it from a perspective that they're enforcing the law, you don't care what means they use to do it. You don't care if it encourages them to stop anyone they "suspect" of being illegal on nothing but the fact that they are brown people. Now they'll have the likely excuse of "we're just trying to enforce the law." Never mind that it isn't even the job of the Arizona police to enforce immigration laws in the first

ing place.
What the hell does an illegal even look like to begin with? "Oh there are two brown people walking down the street together, that's suspicious." I can only wait and see how many false positives this creates for the police, that being them stopping people who are in fact legal. That will prove just how ridiculous this is.
I'd love to see every "illegal" in this country to stop work for one day, just one single day. Just to see how much productivity would be lost. We depend so much on that cheap labor, that if it was lost over night, some businesses probably wouldn't even be able to survive and the prices we pay for many things would most likely skyrocket.
edit- We've been discussing food and taxes/subsidies, you know what would happen to the prices of food if suddenly farmers had to pay twice as much or more for labor? We're basically living high on the backs of these people, then some of us have the nerve to bitch about them. The way we live is a bit of a lie really, supported much by these people willing to work for nearly nothing.[/QUOTE]
Three things:
A.) I'm not a fan of this law. Said it before and I'll say it again.
B.) Again, show me a situation where individuals of color have been harassed because of this bill and nothing else. A bad cop will be a bad cop regardless of what rules are in place.
C.) When your defense is "We need these illegals so we can exploit their labor!", you should probably consider taking a step back and re-evaluating the situation.
