NEW BEDFORD, Mass. — The day after his wife was deported to their home country, Honduras, Lilo Mancía grieved as though she had died.
Neighbors arrived with doughnuts and juice for their two small children, while Mr. Mancía, an illegal immigrant like his wife, María Briselda Amaya, took telephone calls from relatives and tried not to break down.
“The first thing I thought of was the children,” Mr. Mancía, who is fighting his own deportation order, told the visitors gathered in his second floor walkup apartment in New Bedford a couple of weeks ago. “The future we imagined for them, it all collapsed.”
Last year on May 1, hoping to influence Congress to adopt legislation making illegal immigrants legal, hundreds of thousands of immigrants held marches and work stoppages across the country. This May 1 there will be another round of rallies and marches, but this time immigrants will also be protesting a surge in deportations.
The events are expected to be much smaller than a year ago, organizers said, as stepped-up enforcement by the authorities has made illegal immigrants wary of protesting in public and more doubtful that Congress will soon act to give them a chance at legalization.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, facing intense political pressure to toughen enforcement, removed 221,664 illegal immigrants from the country over the last year, an increase of more than 37,000 — about 20 percent — over the year before, according to the agency’s tally.

BWAHAHAHA! Self-made joke!
Send them back.
If necessary in a sack.
I guess it's too hard for the illegals to figure out that the more militant they act, the more we will call for a surge in deportations.
That's one step in the right direction.
Let's keep moving forward on this. NO amnesty.
Come to our country legally, or don't come at all.
And quit yer whining.
These sorry suckers deserve what they get. Their country sucks, so instead of working on their own problems, they run away to where we’ve already fixed the place up.
Then, after living the good life, thanks to Americans, do they say “so long, and thanks?”
No. They try to make us feel like we’re the bad guys here, because we don’t just keep giving and giving.
They don’t want to go back to Honduras?
Then I cordially invite them to go to hell.
Why read anything the Old Grey Mare publishes? Who believes anything the NYT writes?
Seriesly, these large groups of illegals gathered in small places make the arrest/deportation process a lot simpler. Cordon the area and permit only citizens/legals out until the buses arrive.
Is there any law that dictates we deport illegals to their own country? What if we sent them overseas? I know it would cost millions (billions?) but I think the messge would come across to others wishing to do the same. And we’d have a one-time cost, instead of constant draining. (Like an investment)
Use BugMeNot to bypass reg on NYTimes and any other free sites.
Here we have criminals, whining about their criminal acts not going the way they had planned.
What is the difference between illegal invaders thinking they could cash in on "freebies" at taxpayer expense, and a bank robber who gets caught and says "The future we imagined for them, it all collapsed", because he planned all sorts of lavish luxuries from the fruits of his law-breaking, and now he faces the legal consequences of ignoring the laws he broke????
The people that are deported are not the gang members, not the ones working as day-laborers off the books. ICE goes after those that have at least made an attempt to enter legally, those that are “in the system”.
It would be hard, dangerous and politically difficult to round up the millions of illegals “under the radar” so ICE winds up focusing on those that work, pay taxes, and want to enter legally. It’s a shame.
That is not true. Most of the illegals rounded up were ones with criminal warrents. (mostly not showing up for hearings after they were released the first time.) The fact they were easy to find is their fault.

Even though as you point out above...thats where they ought to start because some of those gangs are very dangerous. We have too many dangerous illegals in our country besides gang members too. Look at how many drunk illegals kill people all the time. Or the rapists & the child molesters. Until these people can become legal they all need to go home. I am tired of seeing towns become little Mexico and everything is in Spanish. I am also tired of these people demanding they stay here after knowing full well they were breaking the law coming into our country. If you are illegal why on earth would you have babies here? Its not fair to have them just to try to stay here. The children need to go with their families.
“I guess it’s too hard for the illegals to figure out that the more militant they act.....”
The less they are fit to be Americans.....
