Okay...I have a few questions....
Why did Mexico's Senate waste time passing a resolution to tell a politician in another country to veto a law? Do they have no other problems to solve? Are the "illegal immigrant's rights" mentioned by the Vice President of Guatemala anything like squatter's rights?
But the main ones are...
How, exactly, can they enforce this law constitutionally? It just seems to be at odds with the whole concept of equal protection. What constitutes "reason to suspect"? How can they honestly expect to enforce the bits about it being illegal to "knowingly transport" and "hire illegal immigrants for day labor"?
Here's a "reasonable suspicion" situation...
LEO pulls over a car for a legal reason (speeding, DUI checkpoint, minor accident, whatever...) and goes to the driver...
"License, registration, and proof of insurance please."
Driver...no response, or some mumbling, no eye contact, etc.
"Sir/Ma'm...did you understand my question?" Answer: "No hablo ingles" or "Kein Englische", "Je' n'parl Anglais..." whatever
"Sir/Ma'm...can you speak English? Do you have a Passport, ID card?"
(Note, tourists from overseas are required by LAW to carry their national ID (passport, ID, etc., with them while in the USA plus the little card they fill out when they arrive) and if they're driving, they must have either their national drivers license or an Int'l DL with them.
If after ALL this the officer has gotten nowhere, then they would probably have reasonable cause to suspect that something is amiss here and could call in for more assistance/information.
So they do a little more digging into the driver's credentials. If he/she turns out to be illegal, they detain them for ICE.
Now, for the "... "knowingly transport" and "hire illegal immigrants for day labor" portion...I'm "assuming" you don't live in a state with a huge illegal population. Where I live it is EASY to find the locales where these folks congregate for jobs. They are aggressive, will approach any pickup truck that slows looking for cheap labor. Go there, watch someone hire a bunch of them and then bust the driver and passengers. It's really easy, but ICE doesn't do it because the current government has zero interest in enforcing federal immigration laws.
