Why? You are speaking about your fellow citizens for the rule of law you know.
Here let me help you. According to the dictionary this is a nativist:
"the policy of protecting the interests of native inhabitants against those of immigrants"
Note that it doesn't say "illegal" immigrants but plain old immigrants. We are not trying to protect American interests from "immigrants". What's your next move? Calling us xenophobes?
Is the guy allowed to have an opinion? I didn't see him complaining when you accused him of being a "pro-illegal" ( which I'm sure he disagrees with). Why is okay for only you to throw labels around?

I don't call law abiding Americans being smeared with inappropriate nasty labels as just an opinion. He however, has made it plain that he is a sympathizer/defender of illegal aliens aka pro-illegal alien. Curious, what label would you put on someone with that kind of mindset? Shall I say pro-amnesty then....what?
I doubt that!! They will just use it and turn this into a chain email or something.
Why would anyone do that? If anything, they’ll use this as proof the law is being enforced as intended. After all, they originally thought the man was here illegally, but he was able to quickly prove his legal status. Likewise, others can do the same. That is, with the exception of illegal aliens.
Thanks for the update, and for posting an article that illustrates how easily legal status can be proven. So, the ONLY people who should fear this law are those the law is intended to snare. Clearly, the system works.

Your opinion is just that... YOUR opinion. Allow others to express their opinions without getting upset over it.
So you don't fear anything when the Sheriff of that county in Alabama describes the new law as
"[A]nyone who does not have documentation, such as a driver’s license, to verify citizenship status can be arrested, regardless of how he or she looks or talks."
I think there is going to be quite a few more false positives if we are seeing the first this early (while they call him "OTM", he still looks like a Mexican)...
thing is...from what i know, you cannot drive a car without having your DL on your person. so strike one if this is how you drive and get pulled over.
next...if you are visiting America with valid paperwork, it is a DOS requirement that you have that paperwork on you at all times as well. this is pretty standard in almost all foreign countries as well. so strike two...the yemeni guy did produce his paperwork but he is/was legally required to be carrying it.
so yes, you can be arrested if you do not have ID when driving a car or in any other altercation where law enforcement is involved. the probability that a person with no hint of an accent pulled over by the cops and no DL/documents is going to get arrested...prob'ly low.

I see, so me clarifying what a nativist actually is, is being "upset"? The dictionary isn't an opinion it is based on facts. Why would he hold such an opinion when the dictionary clearly states otherwise? If one is going to offer an opinion then at least have it based on facts.
As I asked, what should we call defenders of illegal aliens? If not pro-illegal then what? Here's your chance to give us the correct label to use. I'll glady accept the label of anti-illegal and with pride because it is a proper label.

I agreed with you up until your last sentence. Accent has nothing to do with it. If you don't have the proper I.D. during lawful contact with the law you probably will be detained.
