this is very true and that is what i like about the law that it gives the local police the power to enforce a law that is already a federal law but the problem lies that it will also give so much racial profiling. When is the last time a federal government employee just pulled over a group of Latino looking people at 2AM to check to see if they are legal? For those that say by law they can't just pull over anyone just to check for this.. Bullshit! Cops can look at 100 cars on the road and with all the laws on the books these days could pull over 70% of them on something.
