(in the US) There is no such criminal charge as 'racial profiling.' There is no authority for a citizen to exercise a citizens arrest for any charge other than a felony offense... and even then, they had better be specifically aware of the laws of their particular state.

Is racial profiling a matter of discretion or ethics?

Racial profiling is the targeting of individuals by law enforcement officials for suspicion of crime based on their race, ethnicity, religion or national origin. An example would be the reliance on race to decide which cars to stop for minor traffic violations rather than stopping everyone who violates without regard to race. Racial profiling is a matter of discretion and ethics when law enforcement uses their discretion to violate ethics by racial profiling.

You can, but holding the person until law enforcement arrives could be a problem.ANOTHER VIEW: Many states restrict a so-called citizens arrest to felonies only. I would be very cautious of approaching anyone in this manner and do NOT recommend it - call law enforcement instead.

Can an illegal alien make a citizens arrest?

No. One would first have to a citizen to make a citizens arrest. The above is not true in Texas (at least). Despite the common name "citizen's arrest", the law in Texas (Article 14.01(a) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure) says any "person" may make an arrest if a felony crime is committed in their presence. Doing so is dangerous, both physically and legally, and may draw unwanted attention to an alien, but alien vs citizen status does not change the validity (or invalidity) of the arrest. It is almost always better to wait for police if possible regardless of citizenship and the law does vary from state to state.

What rights or privileges does a private investigator have as opposed to a civilian I have read that they have no authority but why is it that in shows like Law and Order Elliot can arrest a suspect?

Citizens arrest. Elliott I would assume is a detective hired by the county or city.Citizens and PI's both have the citizens arrest. Private Investigators are hired by a company or lawyer or individual. Elliott is hired by the city which holds a higher power.Another View: The character (Elliot Stabler) is NOT a private investigator. He can make arrests because his character (portrayed by Christopher Meloni) is an NYPD detective. See below link:
