I like to consider myself conservative by ideology.  Smallest possible federal government, with responsibility spread as evenly as can be among state local and municipal governments.  Essentially I'm Libertarian.  As for immigration, coming here illegally and using up my tax dollars for social security and food stamps?  Very bad.  The very existence of social security and food stamps?  Also very bad.

you were at a private event where security is expected (typically printed on the back of the ticket: by entering the venue, you agree to be searched").  walking down the street = no such expectation.

 As a naturalized citizen I probably take exception to illegals more than others. What makes them think they have the right to just show up, with no respect for the laws and customs of their chosen host country, then get free medical treatment, drive around without auto insurance and have their kids go to school at our expense? I know that is probably a small minority of illegals and most just want to keep under the radar, but that doesn't make them any less illegal.

mankie, your anti-immig stance is clouding your ability to stay on topic.   when did anyone bring up immigrants that are illegal, don't conform to norms or laws, etc?  topic of the day is people being singled out because of appearance, regardless of legal status.  go.
 
 nice rant tho   :roll:

I was responding to the initial comment that started the thread, not the actual article linked to it.

Well, sure they would.  Show me searches w/o probable cause and I'll condemn them.  I believe what the article mentioned specifically was that they were focusing on the sector of the illegal immigrant population that was acting criminally.  Traffic stops for one.  I'd like to give the Frederick county government the benefit of the doubt that when pulling people over they are indeed speeding.  And if you fail to show proper ID at that time, speak Spanish but virtually no English, and are of brown skin tone with black hair.  You bet they should follow up on that and if you turn out to be illegal, so be it.
 
 I'm Libertarian but ultimately try to be practical.  I'm all for espousing Libertarian ideals, however am fully aware that they couldn't be implemented instantaneously.  Until we have some sort of control over the thousands that pour across our borders, and some sort of decent, not needlessly harsh laws and policy in place to deal w/ illegals that have been here for years, liberties will be trod upon.  It's a work in progress.
