Border Patrol State

I recently read the article "The Border Patrol State" by Leslie Silko. The article is used as an example of a narrative argument. In short, the article is about racial profiling by the border patrol. We did an in class analysis of this piece, and the general opinion was that the paper was not great. The author uses language too much to describe a problem that really isn't that bad of a problem. I do feel sympathy for the author, but I don't necessarily feel anger towards the border patrol because by making a few people slightly uncomfortable, they are helping solve a huge problem in the United States.
