The race of the illegals is not the focus of the law.

If an area of New York was having serious problems with gang activities, and most of the gangs were composed of blacks, would it be unfair to make a law to curb gang activity simply because mostly blacks would be affected? Of course not...unless you believe that the race card is acceptable to use in any situation where minorities are affected by anything.
