Tough sh*t. Now do that all over America, build the fence and let us get about our normal lives again.

I hope they are all so afraid that they go back to their countries.

“Sophia Martín, owner of Signs by Sophie on Main Street, was angered by the arrests, seeing only hard-working people being treated unfairly.

“Why don’t they go after the people that are committing crimes? After the ones who steal? After the ones who assault?” she said in Spanish.

... Illegals steal from the American taxpayer every single day.. and thats AFTER they committed the criminal act of sneaking into our country. This lady should be deported simply on the basis of stupidity.

Such a shame. Now they might have to hire actual citizens and pay better wages.

Why don’t they go after the people that are committing crimes?

Like illegally entering the country? Committing identity fraud? Tax evasion?

Mr. Lopez said he kept a running list of workers’ false names, real names, children and emergency phone numbers.

I believe this would be called "identity fraud"...

The “Hispanic community” is rocked by a raid on illegals?

So it is, a Hispanic thing then?

Others said the fear in the immigrant community was palpable after the arrests.

They are going after criminals since all illegal aliens are violating immigration.

I wonder how she would feel if one of these hard working people first steals her social security number, ruins her credit and then plows drunk into her car WITH her family inside.

Don’t really care. Illegal immigration is a loser for me. It is not all about politics.

Isn't there a law about having knowledge of a crime and not reporting it. Anyone suffering a loss from Identify thief should feel free to file against Mr. Lopez. He has admitted his part.

"Tension and fear burned through Chattanooga’s immigrant community Wednesday..."

Go back to where you belong. Then you wont have to be afraid of being taken to account for breaking our laws by entering our country illegally. Simple huh?
