    How can you kill that which has no life?

    That is the main question of those worried about the zombie apocalypse. The ultimate answer lies in the distinction between "destroy" and "kill". You cannot kill a zombie, but you can destroy a zombie.

    Police are also able to demand that you stand on one leg and draft up a 5 page essay if they want, doesnt mean you legally have to. Cops can ask to search your car any time for any reason; doesnt mean you have to let them.

    Perhaps I should have explained more clearly. When he didn't show them his birth certificate (and who carries this around with them 24/7?), they *arrested* him!

    It's about f...ing time My wife spent 5 years learning English and social studies in order to become an American citizen. It makes me crazy listening to the bleeding hearts complain about the horrible treatment being afforded people in this country ILLEGALLY!!!!!!!!!! Give me a break already!!!

    On the one hand, I would agree with your ire against people here illegally. My wife also worked hard and within the system to become an American citizen (and this was before we even met each other). The problems, however, are these:

    1. They are stopping and harassing American citizens asking for their papers, and even demanding that they show them their birth certificate right there. The way Arizona is behaving, my wife would likely be deported to Mexico even though is not the least bit Latina (hell, I know more Spanish than she does) just because she has brown skin and they would simply assume that she is a foreigner from there.
    2. Yes, illegal immigration needs to be stopped. BUT, most of the anti-illegal-immigration people simply pour hatred onto the illegal immigrants. You rarely, if ever, hear people speak out against the companies that hire these illegals. Illegal immigrants come here looking for good jobs. If you made hiring illegal immigrants far too onerous for the companies/people that do so, no one would hire illegals. Problem solved.

    That's for the courts to decide, and a prosecutor to prove, but it has nothing to do with the Police and their ability to detain, question, or stop you.

    If you don't like it move to Canada.

    We in the USA prefer to have this thing called "due process" as well as limits on police powers to detain and harass or arrest you. You want unfettered police power? Then why don't *you* move to North Korea, asshole!

    Non-citizens do not have all of the rights that a citizen does. And frankly, I don't see what the big deal here is. In most places in the world... the first world included... visitors are required to have documentation on them of some kind, be it visa papers or a passport.

    You seem to have missed the point that not everyone with brown skin in Arizona is an alien, legal or otherwise. Or, to put it another way, if I took my aunt who was born in Germany (but is now an American citizen) to Arizona, they are probably not going to stop her and demand to see her papers to prove that she is here legally.

    How is this a problem? By Law they are required to carry documentation with them, like a drivers license.

    In a video that I linked to elsewhere, a driver's license wasn't good enough. The police actually demanded the guy show him their birth certificate right there.

    Actually, first they have to have a reason to stop you (e.g. traffic violation).

    Such as being brown-skinned. Such as with this guy who was arrested and had to get his wife to bring his birth certificate to the police station. He had a commercial driver's license and everything, but the police still demanded to see his birth certificate right then and there.

    When is the Green movement going to implement their final solution? That is, when will the governments of the earth begin roundups and executions of 90% of the global population to return the earth to its natural state? That is, after all, the only possible route to the goal that they seek.

    No, no, no! It's not the Green movement that is going to wipe out 90% of humanity. It is the Annunaki. Why else do you think they are allowing global warming to run amok, nay, even causing it by giving us only the technology that produces greenhouse gases?
