I just wonder if the Senator would yield on this point because this is extremely important. This is about American citizens too. There are individuals who go to a hospital. people who take their children to school for vaccinations. and this has the language that if an official has probable cause to believe they are undocumented. they can question that individual. Suppose they question them before they treat them? The way I look at it and read that. this could be an American who goes in. an American citizen goes in. and for some reason. some attendant says: Well. I have reason to believe this is undocumented. lets see all of your papers. while the person is either trying to be attended to. with a serious injury. or trying to get their child immunized to protect not only that child but other children in the classroom. How in the world are they going to be able to do that without opening up a whole system of profiling in this country? I maintain that we have very strong border security and we have very strong provisions in here in terms of employment security. to try to make sure we are going to have the right people who are going to be able to work here and we are going to know who is going to be able to come into the United States. But this here really seems to me to be endangering American citizens in a very important way. I was just wondering if the Senator might comment on that.
Identified stereotypes
People are suspected of being undocumented based on appearance or circumstance.
