Arizona's policy, which President Felipe Calderon derided during a recent U.S. trip as "discriminatory," states police can't randomly stop people and demand papers, and the law prohibits racial profiling.

Mexican law, however, requires law enforcement officials "to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country before attending to any issues." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010...migration-law/

What a hypocrite!!!!!!!!! If we are pulled over or confronted for suspicious activity , we have to present legal ID, so why should it be any different for immigrants. I applaud Arizona for taking a step to solving the problem and I feel the Federal government should be supporting them in this, not filing lawsuits or allowing other countries to file lawsuits against Arizona. I read the bill, and I don't see anything wrong with it. If a person is following the law, then they will not be confronted, so what's the worry? I have a feeling its because many people are illegal immigrants and they need to go. If a person was to stay in another country such as Mexico, they would be deported quickly. If you go back to Mexico without proper papers, you go to jail for two years....so why are we allowing Mexicans to illegally stay here? The USA is too relaxed on this issue compared to other countries.
