The Border Patrol is a government entity and as far as I can tell, DOES practice racial profiling while the new AZ law does not. Living in Tucson and going deer hunting down Sasabe Rd. to my favorite hunting area, I cross paths with the Border Patrol at least 10-15 times a day when down there. I am a about 10 miles from the Mexican border and have NEVER been stopped or pulled over while on the other hand, I see spanish looking people pulled over all over the place. Middle aged senorita and her child pulled over aside standing there with the BP flipping the tailgate open on her pickup to reveal a false bottom and 5 people lined up like cordwood in it (one of MANY examles). 6 years driving down there for a week a time plus scouting and not once have I been pulled over. Is it because I am a fat, white polish man in my 40's? I wonder about that as I pass by the 2 grayhound style buses parked in the shade in the middle of nowhere everyday waiting to be filled up over and over again.
To me, it looks like the government is practicing racial profiling while whining and crying over something that is far less intrusive that they don't even understand. The party with the Mexican President was nauseating with all the fire and brimstone condemnation being spoken yet no one knows what they are even talking about. The rhetoric about a 'comprehensive' plan is pure crap because no one in Washington knows what to do and is afraid to do anything lest their party lose votes.
