The only way for Mexicans or anyone else not to have to deal with immigration laws is not to immigrate. Same for me. It is a choice we made so we all have to deal with the law. When I say we I mean immigrants.
They have guidelines they have to follow for reasonable suspicion they are not arresting people for not having ID's. Most of the law is worded the same as the federal law. Have you read the Arizona law regarding this?
It is not by design to harass people of color. If it where I would not have been detained. Should I feel discriminated against? Was I a victim and didn't know it?
Like I said there are white people getting nailed for proof too. I have lived through it. I have seen other people go through it.
This is about laws. If this was applied to any other law it would not stand. It's like saying a Mexican guilty of murder was being harassed by the law because of his race. He broke the law but we should let him go because of his race. White people break the law too. Breaking the law is not a race issue.
