a guy from robbing a house or robbing somebody on the street by throwing people out of the country here illegally. explain the mechanics to how that works. you pick up people. are you intimidating people? is that what you're doing? >> you arrest somebody for a burglary and you do an immigration check. you find out they're here illegal. you do. you start the deportation process. you get that going. so it's the association between crime and illegal immigration. that's the nexus. that's what we're trying to tackle with this. what we had is we had law enforcement officers who in the past they had seen law enforcement officers who had been falsely accused of racial profiling have their careers s destroyed and we want to make it clear, you as a police officer, you have all the tools. when you arrest someone for burglary and you arrest someone for rape or for some other crime, often committed against low-income hispanics, you have more tools at your disposal now. >> okay. let me ask senator gutierrez, do you believe what you just heard was racist or was it simply about self-protection and security concern?
