At this point "suspected of" is the most plausible way of explaining the situation. If you can't speak English, you can't be a US citizen and need to be able to show to law enforcement at any time proof that you are in the country legally. If you can't, you should be suspected of being an illegal immigrant. If you do speak English and don't have a driver's license, checking to see if you are in the country legally should be routine, every time. There should be some way of doing this. If English is a second language in this case, this also should qualify somebody as being suspected of being an illegal immigrant.

If you are driving without a driver's license, this is a serious crime and even if law enforcement is not obliged to investigate legal status of the driver at the scene, then somewhere somebody in law enforcement needs to be able to find out what it is.

Law enforcement is bound to be careful of what they mean when they say "suspected of". They are bound to use the phrase in a context far different then the way we use it in common language.

Recently, another Tennessee legislator, Republican Curry Todd, who supports strict immigration measures, gained notoriety when he said that illegal immigrants “multiply like rats.” Todd later apologized for the comment, but maintains his opposition to illegal immigration.
Is there really a friendly way to describe the way that immigrants, legal or otherwise reproduce in this country? It is almost as though they have children as an act of vandalism. The pop them out in a frenzy and then they drape them all over the place, in schools, on the streets and it's like they are saying, "See? What are you going to do about it? Nothing!" It is an act of contempt. And then people brag about how they are "family oriented". Sorry, my idea of raising a family suggest a little more reflection on the needs of the children and illegals clearly imagine that this is not their problem.
