Bill S.B.1070 Article 8 sec 11-1051b states:
FOR ANY (LAWFUL) CONTACT MADE BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL OR AGENCY OF THIS STATE OR A COUNTY, CITY, TOWN OR OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THIS STATE WHERE (REASONABLE SUSPICION EXISTS) THAT THE PERSON IS AN ALIEN WHO IS UNLAWFULLY PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES, A REASONABLE ATTEMPT SHALL BE MADE, WHEN PRACTICABLE, TO DETERMINE THE IMMIGRATION STATUS OF THE PERSON. THE PERSON'S IMMIGRATION STATUS SHALL BE VERIFIED WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PURSUANT TO 8 UNITED STATES CODE SECTION 1373(c).
Reasonable Suspicion? What is that? How do you define that? Is your definition differ from mine? Chances are, it does.
Just a note in regard to reason:
If the definition, that is to be excepted and applicable under this law,is subjective (meaning that it may vary from person to person), the decisions made cannot be excepted as an objective truth. Never can you deem a decision objective based on subjectivity. This would be in direct violation of the term law.
Note on practicallity:
Furthermore putting the freedoms and liberties of a certain group of people in the hands of street level bureaucrates is absolutely reprehensible. Where does "reasonable suspicion" stop? And how you prove, objectively, that there was none, if by chance, someone needed to defend themselves againt such a judgement call? You can't. Therefore this law, conclusively, is unreasonable and irrational.
Constitutional Prohibition:
Article I sec. 9:
The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.
This means that any subsequent year, posteriorly in occurrence of 1808, the federal government alone will have the power of allowance,or disallowance, in regard to the migration or importation of all persons. This simply means that no state can change, amend, or create any laws that pertain to immigration. It is solely a duty of the federal government; and this clearly was an attempt by Arizona legislators to violate the constitution. These types of charades must not be allowed to be propagated, if we are going to protect the stable and civil union of the United States of America. No mas.
