Maybe it will keep our voters happy and distracted. Healthcare not going well? Let's just hate some Mexicans today. Listen, almost 8 out of 10 Latinos in the United States are citizens, 1 out of 10 are legal permanent residents. That leaves 1 in 10 who are undocumented, but this policy is about going after all of us, whether we are citizens or not of the United States of America. These bills are nothing new, and they are not really about fighting crime. They are about racial profiling and putting Latinos ``in their place.'' Latinos, African Americans, Muslims, women, they know what it is like to be targeted.
