Ethnic profiling in the US--not promising for treatment of Etans

I've been looking at the news stories about some of Arizona's immigration laws and really hope they don't catch on in Rochester, NY. It really worries me that ethnic profiling goes on among earth-born humans. If they do this to EACH OTHER, what might they be capable of doing when the rest of the Etans on the colony ship arrive?

But let us not loose hope before the rest of us even get here. I know if we do this reasonably, show that we mean no harm, and can offer vast technological advances to Earth-born humans, we can integrate peacefully into earth society. And if we cannot integrate peacefully, well, we are technologically superior and could use force...
