The u s border patrol has been accused of racial profiling


The U. S. Border Patrol has been accused of racial profiling in its decisions about whom to select for questioning in the border regions. People who "look Mexican" have been stopped and question under suspicion of being illegal immigrants. Border Patrol agents say this is justified because a high percentage of Latinos in border areas are in the U.S. illegally. Latinos who are U.S. citizens say that they are repeatedly stopped just because of their race and they resent this. Do you think that using race in such decisions is a justifiable law-enforcement tactic or is it unjust discrimination? Explain. How do we weigh the costs of such profiling to social harmony and to those individuals wrongly accused?
