Illegals and foreigner's with visa's vs American Citizens

I had an interesting talk with a man today while getting our car's washed. He made a comment which prompted me to make one in return. I stated " why is is that they keep throwing legal, hard working, taxpaying citizens in jail for such minor non-violent offenses, yet we can't  even ask foreigner's and illegals for documentation to prove that they are not breaking our laws? His response: "The minute we walk out of the door in the morning, they are just waiting for us to break some law. It's almost impossible not to, it just depends on if and when you get caught! THINK ABOUT IT! Who do you know that's been through this scenario? I bet almost all of us know at least one person in not many. This is big business for the attorney's, the legal system, the prison system, the probation system, etc., etc.,etc.. Just another way to bleed us dry!
