Joe Walsh: Profile "young Muslim men" "When it comes to immigration, we need to begin profiling who our enemy is in this war," he said

Former Rep. Joe Walsh, a Republican from Illinois, argued that in the wake of the Boston bombings law enforcement should use racial profiling to target "young Muslim men" -- and make that part of the immigration process.

"We're at war, and this country got a stark reminder last week again that we're at war," Walsh said on MSNBC. "And not only should we take a pause, when it comes to our immigration, we need to begin profiling who our enemy is in this war: young Muslim men."

He continued: "You know, there's also a piece of this legislation that bans our law enforcement officials of profiling. We need to profile even when it comes to our immigration policy." Walsh added: "These two guys weren't just losers. They were part of radical Islam. They were radicalized."
