It is true of course that someone is more likely to be victimized by a citizen than an illegal; however, that's obvious because right now illegals are less than the citizens, so by numbers, of course. Sometimes that's not true however, depending on where you live.
Yeah, you would think they would avoid trying to break any more laws in order to stay off the radar. However, they've already gotten away with a big crime, I think you are attributing to them more respect for our laws than there is. Also being off the system of identification that citizens have they have more chances to break a law and not be tracked as easily.
I would think that because they have already committed a federal crime that it would reasonable to see why people would suspect they would commit another. Here is a link supplying some evidence. There is also a lot of data on there that I would deem credible.

Also, I will admit I made a very biased and filtered statement from my own very singular point of view regarding protestants and catholics. I was speaking only from my narrow point of view and that skewed a reality that I wasn't seeing.
I should also have clarified terms. What do you mean by racial profiling? It appears to me that you mean that racial profiling is an act of racist, hatred for other people.
I understood it that way, and I do not believe that racial profiling as a form of hatred is widespread. I do not think that hatred for one race by another is prominent across the U.S.
If you meant that racial profiling is used as a general identification of people, then I would have to agree despite my losing that argument. I would actually retract my statement and agree that racial profiling happens a lot, all the time, because that's what people do. They classify people.
For example, oriental people may have the profile that they are all smart, excellent classical musicians and hard workers, just because some of them here in the U.S. have made such great advances of those sort.
On the flip side, terrorists ought to be profiled. If you see a guy running across the street with a drawn gun, he is definitely going to get some attention, and the first thing you may think will probably be something negative, like ‘he’s a terrorist’.
You can profile on lot’s of different aspects, for example clothing. Culture has a lot to do with it as well, and whether you like it or not the muslim culture has given itself the image of being lenient if not proponent of terrorism. So that’s another example. If you neglect classifying you give up all protection or care for other people.
Stereotypes and profiles are not 100% true, obviously. The majority of people are up to no harm etc. However, if someone is not fitting the norm or does something that makes them stick out, they are more subject to profiling. They will be noticed. For example, if someone has a fancy car but lives in a poor neighborhood, that person will likely cause questions. People will wonder: ‘if he had the money for the car why does he live here?’ etc.
You seem to want racism to disappear when its not in your favor, but don’t mind racism when it is in your favor as with Affirmative Action.
Racism is putting a race or gender above other races or genders.
Favoring affirmative action dissolves your argument against racially profiling.
If you can’t live without Affirmative action, what does that say for those favored races or the people of minorities who benefit from it? Is it saying that they are not ever capable of being successful in whatever capacity they apply for? Of course not. Affirmative action is just a racist choice and irresponsible.
The way you feel about racial profiling could be the way I feel about affirmative action.
Based on skin color, other people get favors.
Does that sound right to you?
I’m not going to say that negative, bad racial profiling doesn’t happen, but I don’t see how it helps you to hold on to those cases which I believe are the minority.
Why continually stir up bad feelings?
All races do bad things, and we should own them from our individual races.
We don’t wink at them and say that we expect certain pay-back favors.
We can speak about bad things that have happened, but we need to look at the people as the offenders, not the race. We can’t see a white cop beating a black guy and horribly abusing his power of the badge and law and say well, ‘that’s how all white people feel’.
Or a black person who committed a murder or other horrible crime, we can’t say well, ‘that’s how all black people are’.
Neither of that is right.
