Federal Immigration and Nationality Act allow state and local official enforce immigration laws and allow racial profiling.
Federal Immigration and Nationality Act
Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)
State and local law enforcement officials have the general power to investigate and arrest violators of federal immigration statutes without prior INS knowledge or approval, as long as they are authorized to do so by state law. There is no extant (Extant; still in existence; not destroyed, lost, or extinct) federal limitation on this authority. The 1996 immigration control legislation passed by Congress was intended to encourage states and local agencies to participate in the process of enforcing federal immigration laws. Immigration officers and local law enforcement officers may detain an individual for a brief warrantless interrogation where circumstances create a reasonable suspicion that the individual is illegally present in the U.S. Specific facts constituting a reasonable suspicion include evasive, nervous, or erratic behavior; dress or speech indicating foreign citizenship; and presence in an area known to contain a concentration of illegal aliens. Hispanic appearance alone is not sufficient. (But can be used because majority of Illegal Aliens are Hispanic) Immigration officers and police must have a valid warrant or valid employer's consent to enter workplaces or residences.
Under Immigration and Nationality Act Section 237 (a)(1)(B) which says:
"Any alien who is present in the United States in violation of this Act or any other law of the United States is deportable."
"Any alien who is present in the United States in violation of this Act or any other law of the United States is deportable."
(Not just those who have been here 30 years, one day, criminal or non-criminal. ANY ALIEN.
Using compassion and humane as an excuse is not in the Act.)
