If they want to avoid it, seems like Mexico would be a great place to hide.

Politicians love to brag that the minimum wage was raised as our illegal "slaves" work for less. If you're going to make the rules, everybody must play by them.
One other thing, no need to deport 20,000,000 - 30,000,000 of them, they self deport if our laws are enforced.

That’s not the worst part—giant robots from outer space are stomping on people and frying them with laser beams from their eyes.

That’s very true—I’m sure most would blend in very well in Mexico.

My teachers would say: “Little tumblindice, if we’ve told you once, we’ve told you a hundred billion gazillion times—stop exaggerating!”
So journalism school wasn’t an option.

When Mayor Viivi Shirley watched TV news reports of the Postville raid, one of her first thoughts was, "Thank God it wasn't Perry."

When you break the law there are consequences.

And when politicians help lawbreakers break the law the people they are suppose to represent pay the consequences too.

The Mayor of Perry should know better!

One thing I don’t understand. Why are they there to be afraid in the first place? Message not get across the first time?

Should I be sad for the ILLEGALS in Postville, Iowa? Sorry, not sad, but ICE needs more raids. Arrest business owners who hire ILLEGALS! No more CITIZENS to babies of ILLEGAL moms. We need to build the fence - or put a sign up ‘Warning MINEFIELD’ at the border.

Yes, and especially hard-hit are women, children, and minorities.

I read the whole article, and I still didn’t see the “sad” part of the story. Can some one please point this out to me, because I feel if you break the law and on the run, you should be scared.

Perry’s on the list. With Iowa loosing rural schools, the one way they get to keep their local is to have lots of little anchor babies and other enrolled. Perry is a bigger target than Potsville.

And don’t forget the homeless! Outer space robots hate the homeless.
Looks like ICE hit a nest in Mississipi as well (above thread).
Go get` em boys—save the women, children, minorities, undocumented immigrants and homeless from the giant robots with lasers in their frikkin’ heads!
