As it is, I don't even give a thought to not having ID on me when visiting, but now I am giving it a second thought.

My point is, that, whether a resident, citizen, or visitor, the people who WILL BE targeted are NOT white and do NOT look like me. I would never be asked for papers of residency in that State b/c I don't look like the profile of an illegal resident. But, they say, profiling this is not? And, from what I understand, profiling based on race is illegal?
