    By “illegally” they mean “while being brown.”

    This will absolutely target every single Hispanic and Latino person in this state, no fucking exceptions.

      That’s the point. Every lower middle class on down person with brown skin will be a target of this. It will absolutely result in police profiling. GOP doesn’t care, core Republican voters here are all bigots anyways and are cheering this shit on.
