The Arizona ILLEGAL Immigration Law

I have watched with equal parts amusement and nausea, the mainstream media reporting how unconstitutional and racist the new Arizona law is that allows law enforcement to check for ILLEGAL immigrants. When ever you hear someone shout that it tramples the constitution, is blatantly racist, like a Nazi asking a Jew for their "papers", or otherwise horrible, one thing is sure - they have not read the law.

I have. I wanted to share a short snippet from the law that proves my point. The law reads:

A. No official or agency of this state or a county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state may limit or restrict the enforcement of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted by federal law.

B. For any lawful stop, detention or arrest made by a law enforcement official or a law enforcement agency of this state or a law enforcement official or a law enforcement agency of a county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state in the enforcement of any other law or ordinance of a county, city or town or this state where reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who and is unlawfully present in the United States, a reasonable attempt shall be made, when practicable, to determine the immigration status of the person, except if the determination may hinder or obstruct an investigation. Any person who is arrested shall have the person’s immigration status determined before the person is released. The person’s immigration status shall be verified with the federal government pursuant to 8 United States code section 1373(c). A law enforcement official or agency of this state or a county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state may not consider race, color or national origin in implementing the requirements of this subsection except to the extent permitted by the United States or Arizona Constitution. A person is presumed to not be an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States if the person provides to the law enforcement officer or agency any of the following:

1. A valid Arizona driver license.
2. A valid Arizona nonoperating identification license.
3. A valid tribal enrollment card or other form of tribal identification.
4. If the entity requires proof of legal presence in the United States before issuance, any valid United States federal, state or local government issued identification.

Hey, can't we all be detained if we cannot produce identification? How does this law treat possible ILLEGAL aliens any differently than legal citizens? Have ILLEGAL aliens become a protected class?

To me the Arizona law seems like common sense. Remember what you read when you hear the far left scream about the rights that are being trampled on.
