You've read the law, right? You noticed how it strictly forbid racial profiling, right? You completely ignored it because it was inconvenient, didn't you?

[Zifnab]

The laws don't just target Mexicans, Central Americans, and South Americans.  Its just that most of them are from there.

Quoting for emphasis.

I agree.  It is very convenient.

Yes, of course.  Because all you have to do is say, "Hey, most-famously-racist cops in the country, you can't profile anymore!", and it stops that shit cold.

[tehstefan]

Yeah, I mean, it worked for desegregation right? They said it was illegal, and it just stopped. Mmhmm.

Dear Diary,

Today I learned nothing brings out irrational hatred like suggesting law enforcement enforces laws.

[Aqizzar]

You're actually trying to say that just calling a something against the law means the people who have the power to enforce the law, and whose word is always treated as sacrosanct, will just...

Actually, you're right, it is irrational.  You've stupided me right out of the ability to form a coherent response.  Well done sir, you've said something so outlandish I don't know where to begin proving you wrong.

[Nikov]

Yes. It is remarkably stupid to assume judges, juries, officers, detectives, political action groups and politicians will all hop on the "lets be racist fuckwits" wagon just because of your bias against the police.

Hey, what do you call assuming someone behaves in a certain way just because of who they are or what they do?

Profiling! The same mortal sin you presume the police officers will commit, you yourself are committing against them! What a glorious hypocritical discussion we're all having here. Lets keep this thread unlocked for shameless and self-rightous bigotry.

Iknorite?  We are all hypocrites of the highest caliber and expect the same from our fellow humans.

[Nikov]

And sarcastic trolls. Can't forget that.

[Zangi]

You got good material. Your levels of assumption are epic.

[Nikov]

If assumptions were radioactive, I'd finally get some peace and quiet after you all curled up and died.

[Pathos]

TL;DR: There's no such thing as a racist if the law forbids being racist.

I'll make the same assumption about a *portion* of said law enforcement because I work with them. Some are blatantly racist. That said, others are Hispanic themselves. Actually, a LOT of law enforcement personnel on the border are Hispanic. I mean, two of the major job requirements are that you live in the area, and speak at least passable Spanish.

If people want to come here and work and pay taxes, I say let 'em in, just get a basic cataloguing. Americans tend to forget--when most of our ancestors came here, there were no reams of paperwork to fill out, no hundreds of dollars worth of clerical fees and licenses to pay, no lengthy background check. My great-grandparents got off the boat, gave their names in a barely understandable dialect of German, said what country they were from, and what state they were headed for. That was IT.

I think the immigration issue really should take a backseat to the narco-war issue. That shit is starting to make the Taliban look like a British polo club by comparison. They found a handful of corpses in some caves near Cancun the other day, with their f**king hearts cut out and "Z" (probably for "Zetas") carved into their stomachs. I know Federal agents who have flatly said that they would take a year's detail in Baghdad over a month in Juarez.
