Immigration Enforcement Un-American?

My entire point is that you cannot completely seperate race and immigration because of subconcious prejudice.

When approaching, or are being approached by, a person, I note size, sex, hair, dress, color, body language, etc.

If I know them, I immediately search my memory for previous behavior by that person... friend or foe, like or dislike, etc.

In the case of a stranger I search my memory for previous experiences with people with similar appearance.
Bigger would be more of a threat than smaller, male would be more of a threat than female(except in court),
someone in rags would be more of a threat than in a suit, and so on.

Of course there's no guarantee the well dressed little woman won't kill me, but I have to make a judgment on past experience.
I suppose second hand experience via the media or stories from peers would be in my database too.
I guess you're calling that prejudice, but I have to rely on what I've got.
