Well, since that is so - the police should go around asking everyone whether they are a legal citizen or not. It's not considered racial profiling if they are asking everyone for their legal identification. Though I know that police were going out around where I live (or at least I think it was out here in Nevada) looking for illegal immigrants. And they found a lot of them working at fast food places. Those illegals then got deported. So if the police were to do something like that, but for the whole area of Arizona. Then we could get all the illegals back to where they are supposed to be. And since there are probably a lot working at places such as fast food places, we can have a lot more jobs available.

However this would take a lot of time, resources and money. Also, as soon as the illegals found out what was going on they'd probably high tail it to another, "safer" area. Also, deporting them "all at once could pose a challenge as it is not free to do so.

Well then that police officer has the right to search the car if they suspect that there are a lot of illegal immigrants in the back of the truck. It's just probably cause, and then they have the right to search. Just like if a police officer expects that you have drugs in your car. But if someone is just driving with a car filled with people, and the police officer cannot tell if they are illegals or not, then they shouldn't be able to just pull you over for that reason alone.

If you have a van packed full of people, then what can it hurt to simply verify with an officer of the law that you're legal citizens? Illegal immigrants are hurting the country because most don't pay taxes, they take jobs and they send the money back to their families so their families can come across the border illegally as well. They get free education and healthcare, driver's license and everything and they don't pay taxes for this stuff like legal citizen do. It would not bother me if I had a van full of people and a police officer pulled me over to simply verify we were legal. However, the law does not allow them to do this yet. They are allowed to ask for verification of citizenship, after someone has been stopped for other reasons, but they cannot stop someone based on this. Before, they were not allowed to ask anyone ever if they were illegal citizens.
