SCOTUS strikes out parts of the AZ immigration law, but keeps "papers please."

We have a similar problem in the UK with security checking of airline passengers.  A lot of people complain that there's no need to frisk obviously white old grannies for bombs, just on the grounds of avoiding discrimination.  Why must everyone be delayed?

I agree, except that if the white grannies are not checked, pretty soon some terrorist is going to find a way to turn one into a bomb.

That would have been my thoughts. Plus you never know all those grannies might just be sleeper cells waiting to get the call.

That's a sad and scary thought ;-;

It must be my sick sense of humour but I find the idea of 'Exploding Suicide Grannies!' quite amusing. It would make a great video game

eff yeah! It could be like the new fad to take over from vampires and zombies. I take it your a fan of comedy by Chris Morris, I am thinking more 'Brass Eye' and 'The Day Today' rather than the IT crowd.

I've never watched Brass Eye or The Day Today, but I have chortled moderately at the IT crowd?

I agree and disagree with the part of the law that was kept.  I don't think police should ask someone for proof of citizenship based on looks.  However, if a cop pulls someone over on the road or catches someone committing a crime, I don't find any problem with asking for legal identification, like they already do ask me if they stop me for anything.  But they should apply that standard to all persons, not just those that look a certain way.

I have a bigger problem with the way conservative media and Republicans portray the accomplishments of the Obama administration concerning immigration.  The President does not have the power to pass immigration law, the Congress does.  Republicans run the House, yet they call out Obama because there is no immigration reform currently.  The President has used the powers at his disposal to increase patrols on the border by several thousand border patrol personnel and increase the use of technologies such as drone aircraft and security cameras. 

The combined efforts of previous legislation on funding and fences, along with the President's increased enforcement of illegal immigration, have resulted in record numbers of deportations, as well as substantial increases in deportation of criminals.  He doesn't get credit for being a greater deporter and immigration enforcer than President Bush, however, despite the facts.

I personally applaud the enforcement holiday on those who came to America as kids.  I have a cousin who married a man that didn't find out he was an undocumented immigrant until he was 18.  His parents even kept that a secret from him.  Until then, all he knew of the world was that he was an American and proud of it.

I agree.  I don't see how it's fair or moral or helpful to punish children who most likely had no choice in the matter anyway, and have grown up here just like everyone else.

I think that all of your points are valid.
