Media makes citizenship status of Hispanic surname suspects part of the story (Latina Lista) From: latinalista.net

Tagged: , ,

“One crux of immigration enforcement is identifying undocumented immigrants in the first place.

Visually identifying people as being potentially undocumented falls under racial profiling. So, unlike the military standard — Don’t ask, don’t tell — anyone suspected of being an immigrant these days is being asked to prove their citizenship.

Yet, the current climate of immigrant bashing takes this a step further — anyone who is Hispanic and is involved in a crime is suspected of being undocumented by the media unless proven otherwise.”*
