but most are legal citizens...
There are a lot of Hispanics in Arizona: 30% of the population according to the latest census, which is double the rate for the country as a whole. That's almost two million people, legally in the country.. Only 9 percent of those are illegals... that's a 3 to 1 ratio... by the sheer numbers involved profiling is going to happen of LEGAL citizens.
wait and see!
that's not wrong... count to 30 and put a mark on a piece of paper every time you say a number in one column... every third number put a mark on that same piece of paper in another column.... in one column you'll have thirty marks... in the other column you'll have 10 marks... divide the 30 by the 10... you'll get a 3... hence a 3 to 1 ratio...
WOW
naw, i'll be bragging that you were wrong and beyond mad that profiling happened...
if you only knew the absurd assumptions that drive these models.A recent University of Arizona study found that Arizona's immigrant workers paid an estimated $2.4 billion in state taxes, and accounted for $44 billion in economic output that created 400,000 full-time jobs. And experts say that losing hundreds of thousands of these workers may compromise the state's long-term economic recovery. In the interest of leading the nation sharply to the right on immigration policy, it seems that Arizona's lawmakers are willing to take the risk.
