Distress remains over 'show me your papers' part of immigration ruling This is mostly about checking the status of people who are under arrest already. Operationally, making a call to Vermont to query the immigration status of every traffic stop just won't happen. If someone is not criminal and was brought here, chances are the new Obama Dream policy will protect them. If they are criminal, they are likely gone. Once you are already under arrest for something else, you won't notice the additional phone call. Most people probably won't know an inquiry was made under this act. They will have bigger fish to fry, like what are they going to do about being arrested. This is a symbolic victory for Brewer that means nothing operationally.
