I would say it sucks to be them. If I were them I would totally upset with illegals for bringing this crap down on me. I would then begin to turn in each and every illegal I ever met or heard of.
al qaeda is not a threat to america, either. comparing a very minor threat to an extremely minor threat (both sensationalized), you eschew any sort of proper perspective and context.
here's another way of looking at it: a large group of immigrants have entered the country illegally, and certain people in that group are responsible for fewer american deaths in this country than poor diet & physical inactivity.
they dont seem so bad now...
FBI reports al Qaeda threat to shopping malls By Jerry Seper November 9, 2007

Questions for all of those who think this is not targeting.
What do you think about I as an Hispanic American male going to OK?
Do you think I would be well received?
Should my hispanic american family vacation there and expect fairness?
Up to you; I don't care where y'all go on vacation.
If they're ethnically profiling people, it's because 70% of illegals come from a single country: Mexico, with other Latin American countries contributing a non-insignificant number to that total. Who are they supposed to be profiling?

It's unfortunate, but that's the way it works. They're not going to target little old white or black ladies.
Look at it this way - every ethnic group has been or will be targeted at some time in history. Used to be the Irish-Americans, the African-Americans (still do), the German-Americans, the Japanese-Americans (bigtime), etc.
And you call yourself an American? Its Veterans Day for christ sakes.
