This is flat out wrong. The law is specifically written that the police can ask you at anytime they suspect you might be here illegally.
So if you are walking down the street, in Arizona if a police officer suspects you are here illegally the Arizona law gives him the authority to come up to you stop and say papers please, prove you are here legally.
The Arizona Act additionally made it a state misdemeanor crime for an alien to be in Arizona without carrying the required documents, required that state law enforcement officers attempt to determine an individual's immigration status during a "lawful stop, detention or arrest", or during a "lawful contact" not specific to any activity when there is reasonable suspicion that the individual is an illegal immigrant.
Actually "lawful contact" was removed, so no you cannot be stopped soley for the fact of asking your legal status.
"Arizona doesn’t clearly define a Lawful Contact but the revised version of SB 1070 has removed this wording.
The original law stated police can conduct an immigration status check during any quote “lawful contact,” if they have reasonable suspicion a person is an illegal immigrant.
It replaces “lawful contact” with “lawful stop, detention or arrest,” clarifying police may not stop people without cause."

She'll just continue to spout the ole ethnocentric lies anyway.
Just so we'll know we are on a level playing field, what do you think is Arizona's immigration problem and what are the immigration laws. Just in general terms is fine. In other words, what is Arizona dealing with with regard to illegal immigrants.

They seem to support profiling when it's against minorities.
Please explain, seems to be a double standard. Profiling is ok when it's non Whites but wrong when it's Whites conservatives?
What profiling are you referring to? Why mention white conservatives only?
