It gets even worse if you read the text of the bill (Georgia House Bill 1105,) they require law enforcement to enact these policies so officers not arresting suspected illegal immigrants could face punishment, and they want to incentivise officers who do make arrests.
I've always wondered how Border Patrol, etc. identify undocumented people. If the person doesn't answer questions, how do the cops prove they aren't elligable to live in the US?
Thankfully, the Arizona GOP are destined to fail because Hobbs will just veto that bill as soon as it arrives on her desk. However, there's a chance red states, where this sort of bill has a chance of passing into law, may take inspiration from the AZ GOP's attempt & that worries me
It hasn’t passed yet, though I’m not sure it’ll face difficulties w/the senate. It’s a really messy and shitty affair, and my heart breaks for the victim and her family.
You can’t, and you can bet there will be a sharp uptick in minor traffic stops and public infractions to ostensibly “warrant” a complete violation of rights. If a POC can be interrogated on the sidewalk for standing in front the wrong building, This is an easy layup.
If a Bill like this ever gets passed in the tri-state area I am so god damn fucked. My trips around these three states results in white pipo inevitably getting uncomfortable around me... I would not be shocked if they call the gestapo to send me to jail and later drop me off in the middle-east naked
Wow, that sounds like it lacks a lot of details on purpose. I find it quite amusing that right-wing nut jobs want it both ways. They want the population to increase, yet they don't want immigrants. Let's be honest, this isn't about illegals, it's a way to attack legal immigrants as well.
As a Canadian, your country is way too close to our border...Start building the wall on the north! It is starting to sound like your toilets are going to back up and the overflow is going to spill over here. I personally would welcome the suspected to look north. It is not as cold as it used to be.
These are too. But to establish that they are unconstitutional there will be hoops to be jumped. While this happens, a lot of people of color will suffer indignities, incarceration, financial ruin, and other things cops and red-state judges inflict.
I can still remember Greek tourists getting attacked in Tampa because white guys confused them for Hispanics. Wonder how dark-skinned travelers from the Mediterranean are going to enjoy getting arrested in Savannah and Augusta. /headdesk
My mom is only here legally because of colonization of Puerto Rico lmao. Dad had a green card (that he was very on top of keeping it valid) but didn’t bother going for citizenship
I've lived in Georgia for 30 years and I've learned there is no bottom to the rural Georgia stupidity. Atlanta metro is great, but due to SCOTUS approved gerrymandering, their voices are muted.
How long you think it will take for a natural born hispanic citizen to get arrested from this? Hell how long till a white person gets arrested on suspicion of being illegal just for speaking spanish?
I'd be shocked if it took more then a week. Stupid ass law.
If it permits citizens arrest, this could be something indeed.
“You there, in the ill fitting suit, and the tie is tied way too long with the weird orange complexion! I suspect you are here illegally and place you under arrest.”

Oh, I'm sure the police would never abuse that.

Just in case... 🤷🏻♀️

That's the keyword.
If colonizers aren't illegal on the land which they have stolen, nobody is.

When people were talking about “defund the police” I thought they meant revert to the old system. But we don’t have the social infrastructure anymore.
"arrest" = possibly killed by police

(Joking, obv. This would be a racist nightmare.)
