Of course it's profiling. The last time I checked Mexico is the only country that borders Arizona. I just checked again and, yes, still the only country that shares that border. If Mexicans want to come here so bad they can come here legally like everyone else. We turn back Cubans that come on makeshift boats, people get sent back from Asia and Europe if they plan to just walk in without a visa or any legal documentation, but the moment we target Mexicans it's as if we're committing some sort of crime.

Just goes to show how clueless people are.

I dunno but if I were legal and looked mexican and I got stopped every other day to check if im legal or not, Id probably get pissed.

The profiling thing kinda bugs me, even though there really is no way around it. We need to control our borders more, it should be on a federal level, not just a state level.

That's just it. The border patrol deal put in place by federal government isn't doing much good so the state stepped up to the plate and did something about it.

Once the border is sealed up and illegal immigration laws are tightened then the amount of illegal immigrants in the country will go down. We need to stop the bleeding before fighting the infection.
