Now this is interesting ... I wasn't going to mention this little story here, because it's a story from my septuagenarian mother from a friend of hers, about that friend's daughter-in-law ... so I wasn't entirely sure whether the entire 3rd-hand story was totally straight!Correct, although profiling does go on. As an Asian Australian myself, as well as my Asian Canadian friends across the border, I've heard of checks done through multiple of my friends and experienced it myself.
But the aforementioned daughter-in-law lives in Canada with Mum's friend's son, they're both Australian and she has an Asian background. The husband-and-wife tried flying into the USA a few weeks ago for a weekend with friends, and she was detained for a few hours and sent back to Canada for ... Reasons. Didn't occur to me that maybe she'd been "profiled".
As I said, though, Mum may have gotten it a bit mixed-up (and she probably envisages Trump personally standing there at Immigration randomly pointing at people to be denied entry for no reason
