Berkeley -- Two dozen students from Berkeley High School protested raids by immigration agents, donning brown armbands on Thursday to show solidarity with the Latino community that is most often the target of immigration crackdowns.
The protest came a day after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided homes in Berkeley and Oakland and arrested suspected illegal immigrants. The raids touched off rumors that swirled around Berkeley and Oakland schools that ICE agents were going on campus to detain students who were in the country illegally.

Tough.
Can we sell Berkley to somebody? Are there any buyers? China? (Not the property, just the citizens.)
Combined with that. These snotty kids are PO’s they won’t have Lupe washing their clothes or Jose cutting their grass. Someone has to do it, don’t they?

There, fixed it. A perfect example of how the libs skew the story, without lying per se.
