Media makes citizenship status of Hispanic surname suspects part of the story (Latina Lista)

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.”*
