States shouldn't get into the business of deportation. Especially if their first step is racial and ethnic profiling.
I wonder what the people will look like. You know, the ones police in Texas are supposed to stop and question if they look as if they might be in the U.S. illegally. Lone Star Republicans passed Senate Bill 4 last year, which would make illegally crossing the border into Texas from Mexico a misdemeanor with a punishment of up to six months in jail. Repeat offenders could face 20 years. The state could even try to deport people to Mexico.
And the premise of SB 4 is to have police officers stop, question and maybe even arrest people they suspect of illegally crossing the southern border. So again I ask: What will the people look like? Because despite the rash of “Don’t California my Texas” bumper stickers I’ve seen around the state, the facts of the census show the two states are pretty much the same in terms of diversity.
