Technically that is possible, if such a law were to exist, if someone
were to be observed violating that law, if said observer were empowered
to enforce and inclined to do so. (so much for a straman)

There are more than a few ways to 'break' a society's infrastructure of
rules and law. Is that what you really want? You'd prefer that things
fail, rather than work? You prefer 'arrest first, ask questions later'?

Indeed, that is the key issue isn't it -- laws did not exist, at least
in Arizona, so AZ political hacks wrote some. Unfortunately, they
either never bothered to consider a conflict with Federal law, or simply
chose to ignore the possibility, and ran afoul of the rights of all
legal residents. Hence the judge's decision to stay enforcement.

No one can argue that we don't need better management of immigration,
but this dumbfucking Arizona-sTOOOpid approach is not the answer.

ID, but not necessarily citizenship or resident status.
Besides, if one is driving, one has already agreed to abide by the law
that states one must have a valid driver's license in order to be
driving.
