Arrest

The controversy surrounded the recent court ruling which allows Texas police to arrest illegal migrants is coming from an unusual angle. Those opposed say this will lead to racial profiling. Common sense says this is exactly what will happen. It would be inefficient to stop people based on some statistical sampling. If a person is sent to Heathrow Airport in London to observe incoming passengers looking for potential terrorist they would not use random searching. They would concentrate on brown skinned males coming in from the Middle East as opposed to watching blue eyed blonds coming in from Scandinavian Countries. No matter what procedure is used there is always the possibility of stopping an innocent person but hopefully after investigation this person would be released. When police put out an all points bulletin they describe the person in detail. White male between ages 20 and 30 and about 6 feet tall wearing a brown coat and a red baseball hat. Do they expect the Texas police to stop elderly White women just to make it seem like they are not profiling.
