Immigration is not the reason we're going broke, and many factors are involved regarding crime. Immigrants are easy scapegoats.

Under the new measure, police must detain someone they suspect of being in the country illegally if the person cannot produce proper documentation when stopped for any reason.

I look like the whitest honky ever, but I'm actually half Mexican. My grandma and other people on my dad's side are dark brown and speak with an accent. Under this measure, a cop could detain her because he "suspected" she's illegal. My grandma was born in Santa Ana, California - what papers would she carry to prove that? Anyone can get a driver's license. Would she have to carry her passport around? Would YOU have to carry your passport around? Or maybe your birth cert? This seems like legalized racism and the potential for abuse is extreme.
