14 hr harold_lloyd I don't disagree, but the question assumes that your immigration status can be as quickly and easily checked as your driver license status. But what if it meant detaining you for an hour at the station while inquiries were made? Post @harold_lloyd

May 14 toolsalesman v Yes, they should Sure, as long as there was a reason for them to be stopped, e.g. running a stop sign or something and not just "driving while brown". It's always been about racial profiling in the first place and people who claim that doesn't happen have their eyes shut. Train officers to obey the law they are "upholding" and there really wouldn't be an issue. Post
May 14 griffco v Yes, they should If you look different in your ethnicity, i say YES. I get checked out at every airport i fly out of. So shouldn't be a problem for all morally inclined people.Unless of course you are an Illegal resident. Get a green card and spend the $2500.00 to make you legal. Simple,right? r1 reply Post
May 13 PJS1973 v Yes, they should If the police have probable cause to believe a law has been broken, they should not be barred from investigating a potential crime. Post
u May 13 liberpublican v Yes, they should It may seem drastic, but with the severe problem we have now with immigration it is necessary. If there were not so many illegal immigrants than maybe I would have a different opinion. Post
May 13 cat2009 v Yes, they should Damn right afterall when they run a check on your license a check for any outstanding warrants is done. How come this is exempt. Next thing you know they will be given a sticker that shows they are immigrants legal or not and that will mean they are not to be stopped or hassled. Post
May 13 Your_Name_Here v Yes, they should How do we expect them to enforce the law unless they can determine if someone is breaking it? Post
May 13 SimUser v No, they shouldn't This is not Germany in the 1930s, we should not be checking everyone for papers. Post

May 12 Freemom13 v Yes, they should I dont remember ever reading anything in the constitution that gives citizens rights and protection to illegals. This agenda comes from the UN who are for open borders and total global rule. However dems to apply our rights to illegals. Dems are for UN rule. Rinos are for UN rule. Post

u May 10 oldsolder v Yes, they should Absolutely, I have had my passport checked numerous times while working down in the Yucatan peninsula, I had to prove that I had a legitimate reason to be there, if I go to any country I have to produce my documents when asked. If your legitimate there shouldn't be any problem with providing the required documents, thats what they are for. I have no problem with immigrating as long as it's done legally. Post
May 10 Big_bo v Yes, they should Yes. Even though it is not in their Jurisdiction. And you know what they arrest people for that are not committed in their Jurisdiction. For example if a person were to kidnap somebody in one state and they get apprehended in another state, they turn them over to where the kidnap was committed. Kidnapping is a federal crime. Illegal entry is a federal crime and it should be treated the same as kidnapping. How would you feel if your child was kidnapped by some guy and he was apprehended in another state, but had to be let go because the officer has no jurisdiction on a federal crime nor was the kidnapping committed in his state? The law should work both ways. The proble... Post

Jun '12 MarkJM v Yes, they should Illegal Aliens are Criminals, plain and simple. I don't care if they hide in the shadows. I don't care about their measly sales tax revenues. I don't care if they say they'll be good. I don't care if they have family here legally. I don't care if they popped out a number of anchor babies. If you ILLEGALLY cross the border, overstay your VISA, or slip in through the ports, you are ILLEGAL and DO NOT BELONG HERE. It's a slap in the fact to all the Immigrants who come here, declare themselves, learn English, pay taxes, respect and obey US Laws. Illegals should get NO RIGHTS.

u Jun '12 CommonSense v No, they shouldn't It should be like anything else.

Jun '12 ir0nw0lfe v Yes, they should Sure. They ask me for my driver's license when I get pulled over or want to make a purchase on credit. Asking if someone is a legal citizen harms no one. The real question is whether police will be able to get illegals deported. Especially in light of Obama orders that let anyone stay who is supporting a family member or the new let's every illegal kid who's been here a couple of years hang around. B1 e19 endorsed Post
u Jun '12 karma v No, they shouldn't No, there are many whom are born in the U.S.A. and to have them scrutinized in this fashion just because they fit the profile is insane. Let the police do what police are hired to do, and let immigration do what immigration is hired to do and stop trying to mix the two. We have enough police trying to overstep their boundaries as it is, the last thing we need is a rouge cop harassing natural born citizens just because they look a certain way and don't have a green card on their person.

o Jun '12 FRitzKlenner5 v Yes, they should If law enforcement shouldn't be allowed to check one's immigration status during a traffic stop, why should they be able to ask to see a driver's license? In fact, why should they be able to stop us AT ALL? It would be UNFAIR and UNJUST to enforce some laws and not all laws. I mean, do we really want to DISCRIMINATE when it comes to enforcing laws?
