You can always count on the left playing the old race card when they have nothing left...
...and the useful idiots buy it...
No, its not precisely the same, it adds protections against profiling that the federal one does not.
But the point is that the federal government refuses to enforce it's laws leaving the states to deal with a crushing financial burden not to mention crime and public health issues.
Your point regarding licenses and insurance is kind of garbled. You yourself point out that many illegals you know have a license and no insurance. It IS a pretty good red flag in addition to being against the law.
so AZ passed a law...that was already a law...but you are very behind this law that was already a law....
of course its not the same law.
also having no license and no insurance...actually not a sign that your a illegal..I know alot of Illegals with no insurance and drivers license...oddly never asked to prove they where legal in the US...
Tea Party Racist....
The existing law was and is not being enforced. They had little choice so they passed a carbon copy of that law but made it where they were able to enforce it because the feds were not.
So just going by that logic and distribution of Federal to State authority you believe if Arizona didn't think the Feds were say being harsh enough on the Taliban they should just enact their own State Law and send their own private State Troops over to do some additional fighting.
Or say if Arizona got what they thought was a raw deal on some Federal Trade Policies they should just be allowed to just set up their own international commerce.
I'm against these things myself.
The federal government has too much power and its growing, the states who should have a lot of power has less and getting smaller. This goes back before obama or President Bush or Clinton or even Reagan, its just that its not happening slow like it was, its happening fast and for the first time we are noticing it. I must admit I am glad obama does it fast, at least now we open our eyes.
I see a big difference in a state wanting current laws to be enforced (especially when its those laws not being enforced that are literally killing its citizens) and a state wanting to make up new laws on trade.
so you are scared of it, thus you think we should throw out the federal system and basically become 50 nations ...each making there own federal laws. And of course there is that nasty little constitutional issue..but thats only important when its convenient
