It appears that it would give the police the power to check anyone who they suspect to be an illegal alien.

How would that work?  If they look hispanic?

Now a law that lets police check the immigration status of anyone who commits a crime... that makes sense.  However... Just you can stop anyone in the street and say "Show me your ID or you go to jail?"

What if I leave my wallet somewhere?
