I agree with Miss Laura - the problem with the law is that it's a law allowing racial discrimination. Also, proof of legal residency would have to be a birth certificate, a green card, or a passport, not just a state ID or drivers licence. Those are things that, if lost, can be difficult (if not impossible) to replace. If you go to Arizona, this law says you need to carry one of those with you at all times. Personally, that pisses the hell out of me.
Can you imagine how pissed we'd be if Justine or Cindra got arrested on a roadtrip because they didn't think to bring a passport or a copy of their birth certificate? Seriously, that's what we're talking about here. That's the problem with this law.
As Roger Ebert suggested, "Idea for Arizona: Just have them wear a cloth star, easily visible on their topmost outer garment."
