What civil right abuse was there ?
Are you claiming that the Feds capturing and deporting
illegal
immigrants is
a "civil right violation"
Or are you claiming that if a State captures them and
hands them
over to the
Feds is a civil rights violation ?

No. Racial profiling based on nothing more than what someone
'looks
like they might be' is a civil rights violation.

What profiling are you babbling about ?
The one where close to the Mexico Border, you don't
look for
Innuit ?

My son in law is a transplanted Scot, will
Shreriff Joe lock him up and hold him to run his
own form of "immigration status investigation"?

For the son of Italian immigrants, Arpaio has taken to nativist
bigotry
pretty quickly. Of course he assumes that all people of Northern
European heritage are here legally so your son-in-law would be
safe even
if he were an illegal immigrant.

You are missing the point. Let's say a cop pulls over a
speeder or
someone
that ran a red light. Let's say the driver is a Latino. The cop
would ask
him for his driver's license and his green card.

Why would he ask for his green card?

To check his immigration status as per the supreme court decision.

What possible reason would he have for suspecting that he's
undocumented?

Arizona shares a border with Mexico and as a result, it's easy for
illegal
immigrants to travel from Mexico to Arizona.

If people in Arizona have legal driver's licenses and/or legal green
cards
they have nothing to be concerned about.

That's not true. If an American citizen is stopped and asked for their
green card, or any form of identification as a legal resident, other
than a driver's license, they have something to be concerned about.
Their family could have lived in the same place for 10 generations,
but
still speak Spanish and not be carrying their birth certificate.

In those cases, and they *have* happened, the person involved could
very
well be quite inconvenienced and subjected to harassment and
humiliation
for the crime of Driving While Brown.

IT HAPPENS. This isn't theoretical.

You won't get it.

No one asks peckerwoods if they are citizens.

Gee! What a racist comment! ^_^

TDD
So?

Oh the irony. ^_^

No, that was made out of copper. So it would be coppery.
