If you travel to another country you have to go through immigration, and yes, it makes sense in that setting. When you go through customs you have to show them your luggage. But how can you equate that to being asked for papers just because you look "illegal" at any time, anywhere?

I am not following your train of thought.

No, most other countries don't ask you for some ID just because they can while you are say, walking, driving, having a cup of coffee, or enjoying the sights at the Eiffel Tower. No, they don't.

The setting you speak of is completely different than what the Arizona law now allows. Do you follow me?
