I've read a few mentions of the new law in Arizona that allows police officers to ask anyone for papers proving they're not illegal immigrants, whenever the police suspects you might be an illegal immigrant.

This is quite troubling. Not because of anything related to immigration itself, but just the idea that if one doesn't have papers on them they can be detained. Sounds too much like a movie about Nazi Germany, Gestapo or something like that asking for "ze papers please".

I couldn't find any discussion about this, and was wondering what others here think about it.

Tighter immigration laws. Reduce immigration rates. Police need to be enforcing the law and arresting the criminal and terrorists. The police are doing their job. These freeloading illegal immigrants could be drug dealers or terrorists. Papers need to be verified, it would not be in America's best interests to allow criminals or terrorists into the country who could cause trouble in America.
