And Hillary Clinton raised a very good point - "“Clearly, as I understand the way the law is being explained, if you’re a legal resident, you still have to carry papers,” she said. “Well, how is a law enforcement official supposed to know” whether someone might be an illegal visitor, she asked."

It's not very well thought out. And I said what I said because if you look at the comments on the yahoo page you will see the attittude.
As far as how they would know one to see one, thats simple, the same way law enforcement gets most of their information, rats, squeelers, informants and the like. Tips hotline, you know what I am talking about. There is a big to do about nothing as I see it.
The fact is the law was made to draw attention to the fact that each state can in fact make their own laws. I am pretty darn sure this is the real reason for them doing it.
