I agree, perhaps it isn't even about legal and illegal, perhaps it is about state's rights over the domineering federal goverment, and it is about Republican vs Democrat. In other words the same old crap that is not going to help anyone, even those of color. Actually from what I have read from the Republican side, they are equally against this law. |

Arizona passed a sweeping and controversial immigration bill authorizing police officers to stop suspected illegal immigrants and demand proof of citizenship. Logic tells us the majority of the immigrants are Spanish speaking and brown skinned. Can you argue that fact? No. So the law itself incourages the profiling of brown skinned, Spanish speaking Americans. I submit this again as arguement. Another thing I hear people crying about is that this law will bring about a lot of profiling. What is profiling except for a tool to use to keep us safe. How is that wrong? I am not saying that all Hispanic people are undocumented but in our community, and obviously in the case of Arizona the rate of undocumented people are of Hispanic decent. That being a fact why shouldn't police be allowed to ask Hispanic people for ID?
If there was a serial killer in Muscatine and FBI profilers said he was a tall, fat white man, in his fifties, with a goofy moustache and very ugly, I would get stopped every ten minutes. But each time I would comply with the officer and show my ID. Why? Because he is doing his job to keep me and my family, and your family safe. He is doing what he is suppose to be doing. He is keeping us safe. How did he come upon thinking I was the killer? I fit the description (So do a lot of you by the way) so is that profiling? Is it wrong? I don't think so. I see profiling as another tool to use to keep us safe from the bad guys.

Suspected????? gee, davie....what does that mean? Every criminal was "suspected" before they became criminals. Logic tells you who the majority is? Can we argue that fact? Sure can. That's the problem...you are trying to apply YOUR logic to this to win...and it just never works for you.
Can you clarify....I speak Spanish and I have quite a tan from outdoor work...so I am a Spanish speaking American. How much of a tan does one need to be profiled in your scared small world, davie?

Mr. Opinionated - In the example you provide you'd have every right to feel violated. The fact you'd comply changes nothing. Many of the law abiding spanish of this country will comply also. Later.... |
