Seems like everyone is talking about illegal immigration these days, and that includes former Phoenix Suns star Charles Barkley.
Barkley says he's frustrated that politicians won't do anything about illegal immigration, but that he admires the immigrants.
``First of all, illegal immigrants are bustin' their behinds, they do the work that whites and blacks don't want to do, so that's what you've got to respect and admire," Barkley said on the Jay Lawrence Show on News/Talk 92-3 KTAR.
Asked about Sheriff Joe Arpaio's crime supression efforts in areas where illegal immigrants gather, Barkley said, ``As a black man, I don't think you can ever have racial profiling. I don't ever agree with that.''
Barkley said he is more concerned about jobs being outsourced overseas than he is about illegal immigrants taking jobs in the United States.
``It's just frustrating watching all these politicians talk about illegal immigration as they ship trillions of dollars worth of jobs and things overseas," he said.
