Profiling Against Immigrants

144 Words1 Page

Profiling against immigrants isn't only targeted towards illegal immigrants. It is targeted towards all generations of Latinos in the United State, this is discriminatory and unconstitutional. We shouldn't allow citizens as well as none citizens to be harassed by authorities because they look like where they came from. Latino illegal immigrants only make up two-thirds of the immigrants in this country, and of the percent, 93 percent of arrested immigrants have been Latinos. My question now is how will we fight against illegal immigration if not all immigrants have dark skin and accents.

    MacDonald makes a lot of good points about how the politicization of criminal justice can hurt the entire field. I do not agree that racial profiling does not exist, but I do agree that political witch hunts and fishing expeditions are likely to punish good officers and limit their ability to do their jobs, while failing to ensure that minorities are treated equally.

  • Racial Profiling Is Ineffective Analysis

    263 Words  | 2 Pages

    Racial profiling is ineffective because most descriptions of suspects are too vague and when police set up a description of what a criminal looks like, if they were to base it on the race of the criminal the amount of people who would fit that description is immense. The Boston Marathon Bombing is an example of this. When the police were on the lookout for possible suspects, they were looking for any brown men who were wearing backpacks. Elahe Izadi wrote an article titled "Racial Profiling Is Ineffective in Catching Terrorists" in which she discusses the flaws of racial profiling. Izadi points out, "Even if the public had known whether the suspects were white or "dark-skinned," that piece of information was still too vague to be useful—how
