I think naming a street in every city Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. is proactive profiling. It tells tourists and visitors what exit not to get off on for fuel and lodging.
Its people that say things like this that are the problem. What if this and what if that. Going to extremes. I said check for identification.
Nobodies saying to do all that or shoot them as they cross the border (which would actually be more effective in preventing illegal immigrants imo)......
All I'm saying is, if you see a couple Mexicans walking in Arizona, whats the big deal if a cop asks to see ID?
I like the way you think
I really dont. Profiling leading to harassment is not good, but being asked to show ID is not harassment. I have to show my ID on a daily basis and its not cause of my skin color.
We have illegals coming in from Mexico. We should be looking for/questioning Mexicans.
The terrorist attacks were by Islamic nations....we should be on the lookout for middle easterners in airports.
In "The Fugitive", Harrison Fords wife was killed by a one armed man. Now it stands to reason he would "profile" and look for such a man.
People need to stop whining. There are no easy solutions to hard problems. Yes, I'm white. I dont know what it feels like to be "racially profiled". However, I have nothing to hide and have done nothing wrong so me having/showing ID is not a problem.....heres a sample conversation.....
Police: "Can I see some ID?"
Me: "Sure. Here you go."
Of course we all know about Rodney King and a few other incidents. Those kind of things are terrible. But wWhat about the millions of police incounters daily you dont hear about? So there are some bad cops. Big deal. Look around at your job and tell me some bad/stupid people dont work with you.
America needs to buck up. This crybaby shit is getting old. 
this is beyond words
You're all lost and hope your freedoms are infringed on and never given back so you all understand that this isn't right
Explain how its not right. Is it right they are in this country illegally? Them being here illegally IS INFRINGING on my well being....higher crime, taxes etc....
Unfortunately it needs to come to just that. Taking the high road and foregoing common sense all these decades has gotten our sovereighnty sodomized by illegals. The line needs to be drawn, even at the inconveniences of some of us.

Kujay,
That's the sad part to all of this as I've many Hispanic American friends, all split over the issue. There just doesn't seem to be a perfect resolution to this appease everyone here. Its either amnesty or this. Maybe perhaps we all should take the Aborigine's point of view of " We don't own the land, but we all belong to the land" and smoke the peace pipe as America disintegrates? Understandably our own debt is doing that already as we point fingers at each other.
Playing the devil's advocate here, defend America while we still have one? We all know what good "illegal immigration" did to the Native American Indians centuries back.
Realistically, this wouldn't be even an issue if the Fed. govt did their job. Funny how no sitting president ever wants to tackle the problem. This would only a topic "du jour" only had the Arizona law not been in the news over and over. To me, this is all just a circus act to rile up the people during these tough economic times, similar to the Asian Financial Crisis of '97. Just hope things don't boil over similar to it.
What percentage of the US population is legal hispanic americans? Very, very low number I'm sure. You do whats best for the majority imo.....
Did you seriously ask me this question?
I'll type real slowly so you can follow along.
47 million people agree you need some help with your misplaced anger issues.
