If you think illegals are good people, you're a rasist.

First off, I highly doubt that any citizen would be deported for not having ID. At worst case an individual who was a citizen but had remarkably poor language skills would be detained for a very short period of time until paperwork was provided that demonstrated their citizenship.

I am an American, and speak perfect English. I am sure if I was stopped, and refused to show an officer any identification, I would be detained for longer then "a very short period".

Its all relative ...

I highly doubt someone who was in the country legally would have difficulty providing evidence of their status within a couple of hours of being detained; and (while I know nothing of Arizona's infrastructure) I would expect that simply providing the police with your name and address would enable them to look up your drivers licence information (with picture) if you had one which would resolve the issue instantaneously.

That was my point. The things people worry about happening with respect to detention if stopped with no proof of who you are, happens to everyone, regardless of nationality.
