From that standpoint, i suppose it's necessary for security since the shift is now from large scale operations to small scale seems to be the new way. |
The Boarder Patrol sets up similar checkpoints on highways in areas that border Mexico. Just like trying to cross the boarder... drive up, give them your ID and they decide if they want to further inspect you or not.
Just as ever Muslim is more scrutinized by people around them when they travel by plane (and that is undeniable), every Hispanic is going to me more scrutinized in border states. It's just more efficient. Until Europeans that want to enter the country illegally start funneling through Mexico en masse, there's no denying the effectiveness of questioning the group of non-English speaking guys standing outside a hardware store begging for work more than the Asian wearing a suit and driving a Mercedes.
Unfortunately, this entire country is so race-sensitive and dictated by Politically Correctness that the most effective security measure for this country must yield to the PR whores. Hell, I'm surprised I haven't been called a racist yet.
