If somebody is here illegally, then, yes, they've lost the right to be in the US.
By your logic, somebody shouldn't have to prove they have a driver's license when they're pulled over. If we want to have an orderly process of immigration, we have to have some enforcement.
My relatives are Cuban and have lived in a police state. Arizona is way better. I'm sure it's way better than 17th-century India, rights-wise.
