State Sen. Bill Ketron and Rep. Joe Carr, both Republicans, are preparing a bill that criminalizes illegal immigrants and authorizes local law enforcement authorities to detain “any person” suspected of being in the country unlawfully.

I think this is where we start to fail. I wonder if it would be best to leave this out, and insert precise language detailing what would trigger an immigration check, ie...presenting false ID, possession of expired visa or passport, lack of drivers license when stopped while driving, etc. Why bring aboard all the ambiguous and obviously tainted baggage of "suspected of"?
