No, but the notion that you can pick someone up because they *look* like 
an illegal immigrant (which BTW violates the 4th amendment right to 
protection against unreasonable search/seizure) *is* patently racist.

The law goes further, though, by making it possible for people to sue law 
enforcement for *not* enforcing the law - so if someone thinks their 
neighbor is an illegal and calls the police, and the police do nothing 
about it, then the neighbor can sue the state for failing to take action 
(so I understand).
