More BS.
So many people seem to get their panties in a knot over profiling. Heres an idea people, if you really don't like "racial" profiling, the simple solution is make it not work. Perhaps, I don't know, say help the police catch criminals in your community istead of harrassing them when they try to. The reason "racial" profiling keeps popping up is because it is an effective tool for police. If the communities that may end up being profiled worked together and with police to clean up criminals in their communities, then "racial" profiling will eventually disapear because it won't work anymore and then only truely racists officers will use it.
I have no problem with his enforcement of laws, in fact, I would very much welcome someone like him in my own county. All law enforcement officers, regardless of the level they are hired at should enforce all laws, not just the ones at their level. In all other areas of law enforcement, the Feds have few problem seeking and receiving help from local law enforcement. I doubt very much if a local officer arrests a peson from the FBI's most wanted list who didn't commit any crimes locally is going to be censured and disciplined for doing so, but if they run accross an illegal immigrant, all hell breaks lose if the local officer acts. This is just plain stupid, entering the US without proper documentation and authorization is a crime.
All Illegal Immigrants are criminals, even if they commit no other crime, they have commited a criminal act by illegally entering the US. All Law Enforcement personnel and agencies have the responsibility to Enforce Laws, all laws. In Arizona, it would be impossible to enforce immigration laws without it being very heavily biased towards Hispanics. Some call it racial profiling because it is heavily biased towards Hispanics, but, except for a few Chinese and other Asians that come in through California, pretty much all of the arrest of illegal immigrants are going to be Hispanic in Arizona.
