No I don't.
•The illegal alien population makes up at least 46 percent of the state’s total foreign-born population (856,663), and 6% of the state’s total population.
•Nearly half (47%) of all illegal border crossings into the U.S. occur along the Arizona border with Mexico.
•From 2001 to 2010, an average of 1,374 illegal aliens a day were apprehended in the Arizona border sector. DHS does not know how many illegal aliens successfully entered Arizona each day during that period.
•Between 1996 and 2010, the federal government estimates that the illegal alien population in Arizona increased 213%.
•The total education, medical, and incarceration costs in Arizona due to illegal immigration are $2.6 billion a year.

I think its a reasonable idea to look for the population that's sneaking in the most obvious to the area.
people go off on this crazy idea like profiling is bad. you got to be kidding me. They pay people BIG bucks to profile all kinds of people. They profile criminals, they profile you when they do all these test on you when you get a job, they profile you when you go on a flight, they profile you want credit, the gov even profiles its citizens as terrorist. there is all kinds of profiling going on so we really need to stop acting silly, to use your words. Because im not going to go in the yard looking for stray snakes when the yard has been overrun with cattle. Im gonna roundup the cattle.
