As someone else mentioned the people working at the airport probably not. The on the street teams could be racist, could believe the lies about the immigrant crime rate (which I would differ from those who just hate other races because maybe they just don't know), some could be authoritarian who can't pass the police academy, some are probably in it for the money, some could just be a gung ho on the idea of "coming here legally".
