Of course it will lead to racial profiling. But...we don't have an effective immigration policy, and while immigrants (legal and otherwise) have an overall very positive impact on our culture and our economy, any negative impacts they may have tend to be concentrated on border states like Arizona. <br /><br />Frankly, I think differences between liberals and conservatives on this topic live more in the realm of the symbolic and emotional than in the realm of the "rational". As a liberal, I'm generally happy to live in a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic nation, and I'd prefer to deal with occasional problem that pops up from immigration than the loss of liberty and diversity that stems from hard clamp downs on immigration.
