Border Patrol Using Racial Profiling

Well duh. How many pale skinned, blonde headed, blue eyed people have you heard crossing the border from Mexico into the US?MercuryNews

A civil rights lawyer on Wednesday demanded authorities investigate a roundup of hundreds of undocumented immigrants in what he called a desert dragnet based on racial profiling.

In a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, attorney Luis Carrillo claimed U.S. Border Patrol agents only pulled over people with brown skin in the five-day operation known as "Operation Desert Denial."

More than 600 undocumented immigrants were detained from May 19 to May 24 along Interstate 40 near Barstow.

No light-skinned people were detained, Carrillo said.

"They gave people with blue eyes and light skin a free pass," he said.

600 illegals rounded up, sounds like a good job to me.
