Racial Profiling

With the new Arizona immigration law, many politicians are concerned with the "potential" for racial profiling. Well I hate to be factual but we have been racially profiling for quite some time. Where does this heinous act take place? Are people of color secretly being kept out of certain houses? Are non-whites being kept out of jobs? Not really. While these things may happen occasionally, the real racial profiling is done by the government. It's called Affirmative Action.

Affirmative Action is racial profiling on a national level. It's illegal. We aren't supposed to pass laws or enact programs based on race alone for any reason. Why have we come to accept this kind of profiling which only benefits a specific segment of the population without question? On the same hand, any program that establishes quotas of any kind are supposed to be illegal yet they exist all over the place. Walk into any government office and check out the level of minority employees. It's estimated that blacks make up about twelve to fifteen percent of the population yet if one goes into most government offices, one is struck by the more than fifty to sixty percent of workers who are black. How is this possible? If the government is really balanced, shouldn't the level of employees roughly match the population? In areas with high hispanic populations, shouldn't the offices be filled with hispanics?

The only answer is racial profiling on a massive scale. We are worried to death about religion and state separation. (Actually the founders wanted government to be influenced by religion but they didn't want government influencing religion.) but don't blink at systematized racial profiling on a massive level.

Politicians will scream about a little state trying to find a way to control it's own southern border and limit the unending invasion. They will condemn the "potential" of profiling while promoting their own, self-serving brand of profiling which in the end damages America as much as the illegal invasion.
