You know, looking at the Arizona immigration law, I think the problem isn't that they run IDs against the immigration database, it's that they do it selectively. This is America, where we randomly select grannies at the airport for additional checks; why? To be equal protection about it. So run everyone's ID on traffic stops. It's not inconvenient; they already check you against other databases. I've been pulled over a couple times for "California stops" and they ran my license both times to see if I had outstanding warrants. And really, the administration should know by now that failing to check the white person's ID properly can create its own embarrassments...
