Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

They may not burst into workplaces wielding guns and dogs, but the effects are no less devastating.
Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) is increasing immigration controls that have a serious impact on immigrants in the workplace using a different—and quieter—tactic. Recently, eight workers were arrested after they chained themselves together in an act of civil disobedience inside a Chiplotle Mexican Grill restaurant in Minneapolis.
The action was part of a protest over the firing of between 350 to 700 immigrant workers from the restaurant chain’s 50 restaurants without notice in December. The workers were dismissed after ICE perused I-9 forms. Chipotle says each worker was given a chance to show documentation, and all dismissed employees were paid "promptly."
The strategy of “silent raids" avoids dramatic workplace raids, but still tightens the screw on workers. If paperwork is not in order, ICE demands that the employer fire the employee. Last year ICE conducted more than 2,200 I-9 audits. (There were 1,400 in 2009.)
In Los Angeles, ICE audits caused the layoffs of 253 workers at Overhill Farms. As reported on this website, American Apparel laid off 1,800 workers in 2009, many of whom had worked for the company for many years. ABM Janitorial company laid off 1,200 workers and SEIU members in Minneapolis, and Seattle Building Maintenance fired over 100 janitorial workers, they too were all SEIU members.
“Injustice for All,” a report issued by Human Rights Immigrant Community Action Network, (a project of the National Network for Immigrant & Refugee Rights; NNIRR), states that these silent raids ignore workplace abuses and allow employers off the hook as long as they rid themselves of the undocumented workers.

Yep you can tell Obama’s campaigning and his administration trying ‘improve their image’...
Why did he sue Arizona, again????
Arrest them. Deport them. If the employers were complicit, arrest them, too. Repeat as necessary until every single illegal has either been caught and deported, or self-deports.
Not even a drop in the ocean. Bring back massive workplace raids. That method instills fear amoung the illegal alien community that is stealing American jobs and supports self-deportation of the law breaking illegal aliens.
Friday good news!
Workplace raids are effective, but the manpower required must be very high. Personally, I’d like to see a new program where off-duty and retired law enforcement officers can round up illegals for deportation and collect a $1,000 bounty. If the illegal can be tied to an employer, fine them to pay the bounties. To prevent indiscriminate roundups, charge the bounty hunter a $5,000 fine if the person can prove legal residence.
Bounties would provide a nice source of new income for retired police after we cut their ridiculous pensions down to more reasonable levels.
It actually did bring a tear to my eye... a tear of joy. Hire Americans.
Cue the tiny violins
Your idea merits a second look.

Ping!
Make the bounty $100 alive, $5,000 dead!
They’re NOT “immigrants” if they are here illegally.
That's why you'll find 'em piled 100 deep in a rental shotgun shack. Of course, once they're in the community there are other ways of augmenting their income....
That’s really over the line.
What the hell is the point of all this? The illegals are NEVER apprehended. They just move on to other jobs. And even if they are deported, they just come back. Nothing will ever fix this problem until we build a border wall.
I think $5,000 dead is just right, it eliminate the cost of deportation!!
A bounty on gang members and drug smugglers is fine with me,I hope you don’t want to shoot for bounty some poor peon who snuck over the border to try to feed his kids.
