As I said at .the beginning. It is not the thrust of the bill that I opposeit s the mechanics of the bill that I oppose because I know these people to be proud people. Let me tell you somethingthose of you who represent these minorities have in the past received many. many complaints about how they are treated. by the immigration and border patrol officials. I myself. as some of you. have seen check points along our highways where our border patrol waves on a blond. blueeyed man but stops every automobile that carries a Latin person. Not too long ago to the embarrassment of those people. a district judge was stopped right down there in my district. Officers made him get out of his car for no reason at all except that he was a Latin Americanwhen right before him dozens of cars were waved on.
Identified stereotypes
Latin people are unfairly targeted by immigration officials.
