Airport raid in California target Hispanics disproportionately

The American Southwest will be "Big Kosovo" in 20 years, with Mexicans as our Albanians.

The Kosovo Serbs used to love all that cheap Albanian labor, and thought that open borders were a swell idea.

After inspecting thousands of people, it just becomes second nature, and it actually has very little to do with race.

I agree. I find it interesting that liberals portray illegal alienage as a race. They also describe "Mexican" as a race rather than a nationality.

disproportionately

LOL! Are there a disproportionate amount of Hispanics in CA?

Common sense writer/no/sarcasm off!

"To ask individuals to identify themselves just because they look, act or behave like immigrants is illegal and it creates panic in our community. We are not going to keep quiet about it," said the chairwoman of the Los Angeles Coalition for Immigrant Rights, Angelica Salas.

And patriotic Americans are not going to keep quiet about our disdain and contempt for individuals like Angelica Salas. The United States has the right to enforce it's immigration laws and the use of profiling is a very important part of the enforcement process. And no, Ms. Salas and the editorial staff of the Mexico City News, racial profiling is not illegal in the United States. If it was illegal, no police department could do their job because a suspect's race is a very important factor that police use in tracking down criminals. If I tell the police that a white man just robbed me at gunpoint, the police are going to be on the lookout for a white suspect in trying to make an arrest. That is racial profiling and it is perfectly legal.

This state is highly hispanic. How can you avoid checking them out to in this situation?

If they are dark, they can look like Middle East people. Due to 9-11 it is logical that some would get checked out as possible terrorist.
