"But it looks like that honeymoon is over."

Damn Straight. Come legally and you are welcome back. Otherwise LEAVE.

"But it looks like that honeymoon is over.".

Good. Now get the f*** out of our country.

With house construction in the dumps now, what are all the illegals who used to work for contractors doing for money? They ought to be leaving for home. They'll probably be doing more crime, however.

"But it looks like that honeymoon is over."

If you have a gang member in your family, you are going to have a lot of problems. State and Federal agents are rounding up gang members all over the place. Just leave a little place in San Fernando alone. That Mexican sweatheart makes tostadas with beans, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, onions and spices that will make you blow farts for weeks.

Notice the quotes and the language. Reuters is trying to make it sound like California is becoming a police state.

"The police could come for us at any time."
"The police didn't just take people with deportation orders, they took anybody........ and now people are afraid to go out,".

I wonder if they even interviewed real people or just fantasized it like they do a lot of their articles.

They are standing around every Home Depot and Lowes ... literally hundreds of them around every store all the time.

""We're terrified. The police could come for us at any time and deport us,"

I can't read that line enough times..

"Oh happy happy joy joy"!

Good. Criminals SHOULD fear the Law.

Its only the start. Expect it to expand and increase
by magnitudes as America demands an end to the stupidity of the current situation. The lie that Illegal Aliens do jobs that Americans wont do is fooling less and less people.

2008 Presidential Election likely will be won by a Republican having cutting benefits and enforcing the existing laws against employing undocumented workers as fundamental promises.

"The police didn't just take people with deportation orders, they took anybody ... guys who were just hanging out in the street and even from a Jack in the Box restaurant ... and now people are afraid to go out," he added.

I have an easy solution for their quandary...GO HOME.

What a bunch of liberal tripe. If they're that scared, they wouldn't have come across in the first place or at least high tail it outta the country tonight. But, noooo. They ain't movin'. They'll be here tomorrow, the next day, next week, next year, and forever until the powers that be wake up.

Some immigrants who followed the speech closely on Spanish-language television in Los Angeles

Immigrants?? I think they mean ILLEGAL ALIENS. They probably don't have to lose any sleep over the raids, because there's millions of illegal aliens here to choose from, whole towns full of them.

"We used to feel secure here," Nicaraguan electrician Manuel Salomon....

OMG. Who would be stupid enough to allow an electrician from Nicaragua wire their home? Does he have a license from California? Your insurance won't cover a house that burns down if wired by a non-licensed electrician.

Quote: "We hadn't seen anything like this here before..."

Well, why the hell not?

This should have been the 1000th raid, not the 1st.

Hey, JG, I get a seat on most local buses lately. Wonder why. :)

[janetgreen]

High five, Newman! I think we'll have to take our country back, bus by bus... :^)
