text: can i stop people who i think are here in the usa illegally and question them? do i have the right to stop people who i think are here in the usa illegally and question them, and/or call the police, if they can't prove to me that they are legal? you can stop anyone you want you don't need a badge to stop someone on the street and ask a question but they might not understand you!!  and i don't think even if you did call the police that they would even take you seriously or come out there where ever you are...you can whoop their *ss if they don't prove they're legal they can't go to the cops cause they'll get in trouble too!!!
