why are you trying to make a big deal out of nothing? Why do you claim that “only brown people” will be screened for immigration status?….
The article reads:
“Under the program anybody booked into county jails has their fingerprints screened…”
mighty big stretch implying that this is targeted towards “brown people”.
Do you know where Webb County Texas is? I wouldn’t doubt that 95% of the people taken into custody are “brown people”. Simple statistics.
