The ACLU of Georgia has accused Gwinnett of using racial profiling against Hispanics.
Yes, we are profiling, if profiling means that criminals get their immigration status checked. If you ask me, the profiling should begin at the border. If 40-ish, white women with eyeglasses and big feet are found to go into Mexico illegally and commit crimes, then I expect Mexico to profile me.
Mexico is another country, not my country, and Mexico has the right to profile me. I don't go to other countries and tell them what to do or make demands as if I'm a citizen there. I don't go to another country illegally and expect them to support me and educate my children while I can send my money back to America.
But go through the steps to be here legally, I'll back you 100% and be glad to do it. I don't expect you to want to be an American citizen, I just ask that you be legal and accounted for - just like I am. If you came to America illegally and wanted to get legal, I'd help you find the right government office and I'd help you fill out the paperwork.
