There is a Big difference between requiring documentation to stay in a country and enforcing said policy by requiring everyone to carry papers.
Bigmouth's got plenty of room to fit that boot in their mouth as long as they're told the policy is about hurting immigrants
how do you check you have the right to be in the country if you can't check documentation ?
By enforcing ? cite me one law that isnt enforced and is a sucess ?
Your question of enforcement only makes sense if you think "papers please" is the only way to enforce this law. Other means of enforcement include requiring papers when applying for employment or any government program or purchasing interstate travel or purchasing lethal means.
if i was a human trafficker, I would like your point a lot
If you were a human trafficker you would prefer "papers please". Without that law your stock might wander off and find their own freedom. With ICE roaming about the trafficked are more scared to be in public. I'm not sure how people are trafficked in France but out here they do so in secret compartments in trucks.
If they're just walking down the street?
You don't. You assume they have the right to walk down the street. Or drive down the street
If you think they're here illegally, you collect evidence then you get a warrant and arrest them, prove they're here illegally and deport them.
evidence like they dont have id ?
Take the boot out of your mouth and think.
If you don't have a reason to think they're illegal (and no, "They look muslim" is NOT reason to think they're illegal), you have no reason to stop them and ask them for id.
