"How would you feel if you were stopped? I know how I would feel."

Is that the equivalent to ... 'How would you feel if they (Iraqis) invaded us?' a totally irrelevant query wrt our operations in Iraq.

It seems like it is at the same level. But, I'll entertain the notion. No one I know and it is definitely true that I would not feel good about being stopped. There is always some fear that things could go badly. Even if you are clean and good, cops make mistakes just like every body else. So, when I am asked for identification as I'm swiping a credit card through the reader, or when stopped by security, or police for some routine check, I get a pang of dread for things that could go wrong. At these same times I am reminded that real criminals are sometimes nabbed this way and I am reminded the cops are doing their jobs, and I am glad they are. The legal system is there to afford everyone proper protection, even criminals.

Immigrants are among the most vulnerable of people where ever they are in the world. Illegal immigrants are putting them selves at extreme risks and are often victimized. 33billion annually in human trafficking and sex slavery, more orphans in the world than all the children in the USA, more slavery in the world than ever in history, 100million missing girls, 25k children die quietly of unconscionable neglect DAILY. Don't you care?
