I think it is extremely important to understand the content of sb1070. After all, FAIR's Kris Kobach wrote the bill and his intent is Attrition through Enforcement = Mass Deportation. Kobach delights in the fact that he is "going to make their lives a living hell" with this bill.
Read the section of the bill below. When this bill is enacted, it will force every person giving anyone a ride in their car to ask every Brown person for their passport. Why? If you are stopped and a person in your car has lapsed papers and you kind of know their papers are lapsed, the police are going to arrest you, take your car and fine you. This is like being arrested because someone in your car doesn't have Car Insurance.
Remember, 40% of the 12M are Visa Overstays. Most of the 12M have been here 5 - 20 years. They may be trying to correct their status. Or maybe it's your brother-in-law. You can never give him a ride again. You can never invite him into your home. Or maybe it's your neighbors children. You can't carpool. Or maybe they belong to your church. The church can be found guilty. You are a legal citizen and you may know a few people at your Thanksgiving family dinner. Now they can arrest ALL of you. No wonder Arpaio is salivating at the thought of the next suppression sweeps in Latino towns once this bill is enacted. He will take all of their cars, charge them with a class 1 misdemeanor and force them to pay $1,000 fine for EACH person there. Imagine the carnage!

The ANTIs are going to comment, "Well what do you expect for harboring illeegals!" As I said, this bill will jail family members. Take their cars. Make them criminals for feeding their family.

I think the bill is still quite weak as long as it uses the words "know or recklessly disregards." What's to prevent anyone from saying, "I didn't know". How do you prove that some has "recklessly disregarded" the status of individual. Those words should never have been in the bill because they represent a major loophole.
Passengers have no greater obligation than the driver himself. If a driver routinely transports others, he just needs to inspect their documents once to make sure they have them and that the visa has no expired.
As I stated before, the issue here is not the imposition represented by a check of bona fides but rather a general objection to the idea of detecting, apprehending, and turning over to ICE illegal aliens. The just want anyone who has made it across the border illegally to be left alone. That's what I call gross disloyalty.
I don't believe one should be allowed to "correct one's status" while he or she is residing in the U.S. illegally. That should only be possible in one's homeland. Also, if a visa has expired, than one can correct that situation by leaving forthwith.
This is perhaps one of the most efffective provisions of the law. Otherwise, a person with the proper credentials could have a van load of illegals and the officer wouldn't be allowed to inquire about their immigration status which is what you are suggesting.
Weak?? How do you figure? We already know what arpaio is doing without this bill. With this bill he will be arresting family members right and left. If this bill is enacted he will be in his glory terrorizing latino neighborhoods.
I say go Joe. People here illegally need to be arersted and deported with no due process just like Mexicao does. Bob
