Going around and seeing if someones an illegal immigrant based off of whether they have documentation they've been here is unconstitutional. You can't just go up to a person and ask them for proof they are a citizen. For the people who are citizens, it's just a non needed hassle. And also completely racist, because we all know who's gonna be targeted.
You can argue the legalities and constitutionality of the process all you want, if the policy is to remove illegal immigrants it's going to happen.
Remember they broke the law, apprehending criminals is never a easy task and it does sometimes inconvenience US citizens, but it's really no different than tracking down a US criminal.
The most important part of the process is the overwhelming support from the general population, US citizens want their country back.
while illegal immigration is an issue i'm certainly not ready to turn my country into a "papers please" police state because of it.
It's just a matter of changing the polices that bring and keep them here in the first place, take away the freebies/employment and they will have no choice but to return back home.

What freebies?
I agree with the employment. But this is an issue of regulation and corruption that runs far deeper than immigration.
Plus what then? Aren't we already outsourcing a lot of this work to China? I know meat packaging in China was just approved which, along with migrant work, is a large part of how immigrants are employed.
Won't this also push up the cost of produce?

But the point is that the people who are always targeted is going to be people of latino descent. They already get enough shit in this country from racist people who think anyone who is latino descent is illegal.
I don't have my ID on me all the time. Probably about 30% of the time really. To think I could be taken by the police for possibly being an illegal immigrant.

"What freebies?"
Illegals immigrants that have a child in the US qualify for every dam US benefit (welfare, food stamps, public housing, health care, education, ect).
"Aren't we already outsourcing a lot of work to China?"
Unfortunately, the answer is yes. There's still a lot of domestic work that can't be outsourced, those jobs need to be for US citizens, not illegals looking to undercut them for cheap wages.
"Won't this push up the price of produce?"
Maybe, but that's a small price to pay considering all the tax costs that will be saved and all the jobs that will go back to US citizens. The "my fruit is going to cost too much" argument just doesn't cut it and most people know it.

Wouldn't that only make sense? I don't think Canadians invaded the US with 30 million illegals.
"They already get enough shit in this country from racist people who think anyone who is latino is illegal"
I'm sure after 5-10 years of deporting illegals that the scrutiny would go away, so it's temporary inconvenience.
The habit of having proper documentation will become more normal for many people, if someone is a US citizen it shouldn't be a issue.

The illegal immigrant population has leveled off in the past 5 years, being about 3.5% of the US population. Illegal immigratation from mexico is on the decline, and has been increasing from canada, europe, asia, and the Caribbean slightly. About 20% of all illegal immigrants are from those areas.
I'd rather not get stopped by the cops and get in custody because I forgot my ID card, because usually I don't drive and don't need it. I'd rather not give up that basic freedom, because I'm half mexican. And because of that, I could be targeted for an ID check. Do you know how idiotic that is? Being REQUIRED for no reason to make sure I'm a citizen, that just sounds like it'll be so eas to be abused.

Fair enough. I often hear the argument that illegals themselves are getting welfare. Obviously kids born in the U.S. are citizens so they would have the same benefits as anyone else.

I just hear the same argument when it comes to increasing minimum wage. And I agree, it doesn't cut it, in either instance.
As far as taxes, the data I've looked at supports the argument that illegals pay more in taxes than the average citizen as they often work using dead people's SSNs and don't file for returns. Are you referring to some other tax cost of immigrants I'm not aware of?

"tax cost of immigrants I'm not aware of?"
http://www.fairus.org/news/illegal-immigration-costs-california-taxpayers-more-than-25-billion-a-year-finds-fair
"providing education, health care, law enforcement, and social and government services to illegal aliens and their dependents cost Californians $25.3 billion per year"
"finds that taxes collected from illegal aliens amount to about $3.5 billion annually"
So illegals use almost 8 TIMES in tax revenue than they contribute, they all need to be deported.

Don't blame the people that need to enforce a law broken by crimneals, blame the people that broke the law in the first place.
"I could be targeted for an ID check"
That's true, I use my ID for meaningfully security purposes and I have no issue with it.
"Do you know who idiotic that is?"
It makes perfect sense when criminals have illegally invaded our country, again your issue should be with the illegals not the people enforcing a good law.

So carry some ID ... big flipping deal. Illegal immigrants, for the most part, have difficulty communicating in English. If there is one "marker" that causes them to stand out, it is this. If you speak good English, are pulled over, I doubt you would be hauled in for questioning.

Always carry your drivers license.
Also, America is at the point where people should just accept random ID checks for the time being. There is a problem to solve and it won't get solved if everybody says fuck off to everyone trying to solve it.

Stop exaggerating, it doesn't help anything at all. Is requiring an ID at the airport Nazism? Or what about going to a bar? We all need passports to enter another country, it's called being responsible.

WE show ID constantly ... buying things, airports, hotels ... it's part of the modern era. That's quite a bit different than what the Nazi's were doing and we have due process for anyone snagged for ID checks. America has one of the best, fairest and most reliable judicial systems on the planet.
Given the problem with illegal immigration, drug trafficking and gang violence, it is not unreasonable for the police to ask for ID ... I know it wouldn't bother me in the least.

It has NOTHING to do with Nazism, what the fuck is wrong with you guys? We have been invaded by illegals and there's a process that can fix it, if you're a US citizen it won't effect you at all. We live in a modern society, carrying a valid ID is required for many things, deal with it.
I already said US citizens don't have any issue targeting employers that hire illegals, but guess what? When there's no illegals to hire that also makes the problem go away!!
