I understand your concerns, Giselle... but the law is written to specifically state:
1. There must be another valid reason for the contact - NOT JUST suspicion that one is an illegal alien.
2. There is specific language in the law to prevent racial profiling.
3. There must be a reason to suspect that the person is here illegally... like 27 people crammed into a volkswagon and NOT wearing clown costumes. Simply driving down the road or going about your legal business is not going to get anyone in any trouble.
Over 70% of the US citizens are in support of this law. And the majority of those who are beating their chests to protest have never read a single letter of the law.
