BUUUUUUUUUUUU HUUUUUUUUUUUUU
(That’s “Boo Hoo” in Spanish)
They’re right next door to me, ICE. Go and GET them.
No, no. It’s “Cry Me A Rio.”
No moral issues as far as I’m concerned. They broke the law, they go home. Very simple, and much better treatment than the average US citizen criminal faces in his own country.
I agree that employers should be fined too. Other than that, I am glad to see the Government finally doing its job (though its probably just doing it for show).
Exactly, no one is the blame but the illegals them selves..they could of stayed home....
And much better treatment than the average US citizen criminal faces in Mejico.
“Aided by local law enforcement, ICE arrested 389 workers during the largest single-site immigration raid in U.S. history at the Postville meatpacking plant, the areas major employer. In an unprecedented move, ICE criminally charged 302 of these workers with aggravated ID theft and/or using false social security numbers. Within days, ICE resolved their fate: 297 men and women pled guilty and were sentenced to prison and subsequent deportation.”
****
ICE agents rock! They sure do more than the BP.
And Ms. Aldana, with all your mumbo jumbo legal arguments, shouldn’t there only be 1 question here?
Are these invaders here LEGALLY?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
>The involvement of local law enforcement in these raids is also worrisome
This guy should be hanged
Obedience of the law is demanded; not asked as a favor.
No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man's permission when we ask him to obey it.
There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only 100% Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.

Congress exempted illegal aliens from identity theft laws?
There was a time in this country when someone this stupid could not get a job as a janitor at a “law school.” Now, a person with her level of intelligence can actually get a job as a “teacher” at a “law school.” Must be one of those “wrong direction” things that the pollsters are always asking about.
“Legally speaking, ICE and federal prosecutors overstepped their powers when they criminally charged the workers. Congress specifically exempted from prosecution workers who use false Social Security numbers to engage in otherwise lawful conduct, such as to procure jobs.”
Actually its Congress who has overstepped their powers by exempting illegals from prosecution.
As for the fact that the employers face no charges, she's right. We can and should fix that. Under current law, this employer is liable for fines of up to $5,000/illegal, with IIRC an additional fine of $6,000/illegal if a "pattern of practice" of hiring illegals can be established. A fine of about $3 million would send a nice message to other employers. Let's roll.
Just because this government has failed to enforce the law in the past doesn't mean they shouldn't do it now.
Fact is they should greatly intensify the capture an deportation to make up for their past dereliction of duty
Since all the illegals are surely not in jail, it's certain that illegals made up a majority of the population. It's also clear that the American citizens of the town have been victims of an invasion that rendered them aliens in their own hometown. It's also clear that when companies built a meatpacking plant in an area without a large enough population to fill the jobs, and then advertize the jobs in Spanish language papers, and hire huge numbers of Spanish speakers, they know perfectly well they are conspiring to break our immigration laws. The feds should go after them with RICO laws, jail the top management and seize the plant.
