WHY IS THIS? IN MY COUNTY/CITY I NOTICED THAT BORDER PATROL AGENTS PROFILE WHEN MAKING A STOP/ARREST BASED ON BROWN SKIN COLOR ONLY. WHY NOT STOP THE OTHER CAR WHO MIGHT BE GERMANS/POLISH OR ANY OTHER LIGHT/WHITE SKIN? I ASK THIS QUESTION WITH RESPECT TO GERMANS AND POLISH PEOPLE, I AM JUST USING THIS RACE AS AN EXAMPLE.

Why do you shop for food in grocery stores? Why do you turn the tap looking for a drink of water? Why at night do you first look under a street light for the keys you lost?

On the southern border they go mainly for brown skin tones since the majority of illegal crossings there are by brown skinned people and they have limited resources. Why not take the 75% chance over the 5% chance. At the Canadian border they check white people often.

That would depend upon which Border Patrol agents you are asking about. With your question, I am assuming you are near the Mexican border. Not many white/yellow/red skinned people cross the Mexican border. Border Patrols are allowed to use logic.

Because there aren't millions of Germans and Polish people who are illegally crossing the Mexican boarder.

We just haven't had a problem with Canadian illegals swarming in from our northern borders...



Try asking a question that is a little more challenging!

Omg tell me about it, When I went with my cousin to the Vancouver border from seattle We were stopped for 2 hours and searched completely just, because my cousin looked really Middle Eastern, had a beard and was on the "list", because he was the head of an Islamic charity.......



Man it was so dumb, we had to be questioned they brought in the dogs checked the car inside and out it was really ridiculous.... And that was just to get into Canada....



Racial profiling hasn't changed....

It would definitely decrease the waiting time at the Welfare Office. Unless of course you live in one of the sanctuary cities,then he would probably be forbidden from inquiring about their immigration status,just as the workers at the welfare office are. YTP

Only because they make up 80% of the illegal population.If you're digging for gold, do you take rocks that aren't yellow and shiny?
