It's those pesky little laws already on the books that seem to stump those Ivy [cont.]

League judges...The US Code 8 1304(E) already requires immigrants to carry identification documents at all times or they are in violation of the law. Section 8 1324 allows states to permit enforcement of immigration laws. The "reasonable suspicion" is the same as in the code, same as BP, INS and ICE. I think if people knew what they were talking about they would see this bill for what it is, a simple extension of the authority to enforce immigration laws to the states as allowed under existing Federal law. I I guess the judge in Arizona wasn't aware of this pesky little law that has been on the books for a good long while. Keep those papers handy boys!
