Oklahoma tried to pass a regime of laws a few years back to deal with employers who violated the immigration laws. Our laws were almost all struck down. Arizona did something its legal experts thought just might stand a chance (I disagree).
But the potential of racial profiling happening is not enough by itself to make something illegal. If that were the case, laws making crack cocaine illegal should be declared unconstitutional as well since the vast majority of crack cocaine arrestees are black. The fact that one racial minority is more likely to violate a certain law is not proof that law enforcement will use profiling to enforce that law.

more arrests =/= that group is using the most
Hence, the profiling argument.
