Seriously though, what naivety to think that racial profiling won't be involved. Of course it will.

I have no problem with immigrant/guest workers being issued relevant papers and identification, that's reasonable.

What I take issue with is the blanket approach taken in this bill which affects the treatment and rights of citizens of the United States. It puts the burden of proof on the citizen to prove that he is indeed what he is. Why should a citizen be subject to delay, detainment or arrest resultant from government sanctioned racial profiling? Racial profiling is subconscious and natural and, enabled by these new powers, will lead to the harassment of legal hispanic citizens.

I think the use of probable cause would be used quite a bit concerning this bill. Sadly the probable cause is you look Mexican. Thus the profiling.


What is your suggestion to the problem?
