SE, I think it only makes sense that someone who looks latin would attract more attention...since this is the Mexica/US border! Also immigrants of other types, including asians, find it easier to sneak into Mexico than the US so sure they would attract more attention as well. I have a German friend who is as blonde/blue as they come and he mentioned they grilled him a bit coming in once cuz of his accent. Being asian myself, I see the mental gymnastics the border guard is going through when I walk up so I try to be proactive and speak up first with a "How ya doin'", as soon as I open my mouth it's just a quick "what country are you a citizen of" I say "Pliedes" and the guy waves me through.
