How does a policeman know who is an immigrant and who is not?
Rampant in the US.....
Its more prevalent in canada than in the US.
And far as the laws are concerned, my thinking is, abide by them and stay away from trouble.
pratickm should come up with more specific reasoning if he wants to make a point. I've seen him beating around the bush in his other posts too.
I'm going off topic from what the OP intended, but Manjeet's comments needed a response anyway....

I wouldn’t agree!
I’m in the US every couple of weeks. At airports in the mid-west, I’ve noticed that anyone who’s black or brown is almost invariably pulled aside for additional screening (wanding) even when they don’t trigger the metal detector. At first I thought it was just me, but then realized that it was pretty much the same for all blacks and browns around me. Racial profiling is more acute at some airports than others – in my experience not as bad at airports in the north-east US.
At Pearson, if browns and blacks were to be profiled, they’d probably have to stop every other traveller

Travellers on airplanes aren’t breaking any laws but still get profiled in the US................

How can anyone deport or not give licences to immigrants that are lawful??? I do not deny that such a law is not being passed but I cannot believe that a law may have such harsh implications. Indian Express is smoking!

By the way, more info: I got hold of Wall St Journal and the direct reference is for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and not for other with a LEGAL status.

If you can come up with a thread condemning the US every few days, can't I bash Canada at times....
Just kidding, I'm not a US citizen and have no emotional attachment to that country what so ever, but I definitely like it better than Canada.
