No problem there, unless they're looking for people who look sort of like this...

But then, how many Austrians are flooding across the Arizona border with Mexico?
Some think profiling is evil, but really it is just common sense. Who is coming across? Look for them. Not Austrians.

You oversimplify. Profiling for Arabic terrorists might work, because they are so delusional in their devotion to their religion that they won't break from an easily identifiable and stereotypical image. This notion is what prevents it from being inherently evil, there's a logic to it (the touted common sense). The day you see muslim-immigrant terrorists in Armani suits is the day the profiling becomes practically ineffectual for that sort of thing.
Profiling for South/Central Americans and Mexicans because you're a xenophobe/racist/ignoramus (or all the above), THAT has an inherent evil to it. Hunting down people for the sole infraction of illegal immigration and establishing an abuse-worthy tool for those rabid bean flickers is nothing noble, and a Mexican (legal or illegal) is no more deserving of that than an Austrian douchebag.
From the Arizona Republic newspaper, June 13th, 2011:
"The trees once grew farther apart, and the open space was maintained by the periodic fires that swept through forests, slow-burning blazes that rarely killed established trees."
"The timber industry helped keep forests thin ... Lawsuits by environmentalists to stop old-growth logging drove much of the timber industry out of business, and the forests grew denser still.
In such a condition, the forests can't stand up to a punishing drought when a fire breaks out. Any doubt about that burned up with the forests scorched years earlier by the Rodeo-Chediski Fire an hour up the highway from where the crews were working last November outside Greer."
"Early reports from the Wallow Fire suggest that, in areas that had been thinned under the stewardship project, flames dropped closer to ground level and burned more slowly. Firefighters have told people on the scene, including visiting lawmakers and resource managers, that they were able to better protect Alpine because trees had been thinned around the perimeter of the community."
"The environmental groups have come under heavy criticism in recent weeks by people in the Wallow Fire's path. They blame the groups for killing the timber industry with endangered-species lawsuits, allowing the forests to grow dangerously dense."
The evacuation of Eagar is now over and people are returning to their homes again. Fortunately, the fire did not harm Eagar, mainly due to the natural fire break of the grass lands in between most of Eagar and the forest. But when everyone was streaming out of Eagar on the day of the evacuation, it felt like the Anatevka scene for awhile there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWiRetxeviw (except you need to picture a bunch of Germanic people rather than Jews to get the idea).
