Now this may not be the most PC post on this topic, but even though we live in a society that preaches against racial profiling, in this day in age I believe it to be at least a little necessary. On a whole, I am a little more leery of a sketchy looking middle easterner sitting next to me on a plane than I am a person of Spanish origin. I would not say that is being prejudice, more like keeping up with the times.

I do not know the ins and outs of what Arizona is trying to do, but why is it wrong for an official to approach anyone of Spanish origin and verify their right to be in this country. We have a big enough problem in this country with illegals that the people of Spanish origin that are here legally should understand the need to enforce what is right. If I was in an area where a crime had taken place and the description of the perp matched what I look like, then would I not scream bloody murder if someone verified whether or not I was the culprit? That is not to say that it would not suck to have a run in with the fuzz over a crime that I did not commit, but that is a part of life and I would get over it without trying to file a farcken lawsuit. I realize that it comes down to enforcement doing the right thing, but what is the right thing?

It is irritating how soft America is getting with EVERYTHING. And for those of you who think that illegals are only doing the jobs that no one else will do for nothing, then you should go to any construction site and see who is doing a majority of the skilled work. I would venture to guess that they send more money home than they put back into our economy.

Flame away if you like, just my two cents.
