The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and investigators who did that nationwide raid at Swift packing plants the other day. We should throw them a parade. We should treat them like the national heroes they are.
It wasn't ICE that locked those people up and broke apart those families -- it was the ongoing illegal conduct of the people taken into custody. They came into this country illegally and many of them used stolen names and Social Security numbers to commit workplace fraud.
And neither of those are victimless crimes. Illegal immigration is an attack on the nation's prosperity, integrity, culture and law, and an attack on the wages of all working Americans. Identity theft is an assault on the person whose name and Social Security number were stolen.
The fact is people who break the law are taken into custody. People who come into this country illegally are sometimes deported. Any inconvenience or hardship that puts on a family is the direct consequence of the of the illegal action, not of the law-enforcement officials who are doing their sworn duty.
That raid was a wonderful first step. Hopefully it will be followed by similar raids all across the country, in every industry. I'd love it if I saw an ICE raid where I live.
Because borders mean something and laws mean something don't they ?
And the people who enforce both deserve our gratitude and praise do they not ?

I have to agree with you 100%. The entire country needs more of these raids. We should continue them until the employers absolutely refuse to hire the illegals. And all those found to be here illegally should be sent back home.
And yes, the ICE teams all deserve our thanks...but sadly, law enforcement rarely gets the gratitude they deserve.

Yeah Man, Way to go I.C.E. Keep up the good work.
I am waiting for them to get going in the agriculture industry in Florida. A few days ago, I was in my car outside a retail store waiting for a friend. A van pulls up. I glance up, see three hispanic guys, walk toward the store, I look up again, see five more, look up again, see four more, lool up again, see three hispanic females. All of the guys wore those extra baggy pants and all had military like (high and Tight) hair cuts. A total of fifteen people got out of this normal looking van, not a fifteen passenger van. The strange thing, the plates were from Indiana. I was in Florida, and not in a tourist area, or vacation area. Seemed strange to me. What should i do report them? Or just mind my own business?

Yes, If praise will encourage them to do their job, we should praise them.
Shame on them, though =( They could have been doing their job before all Americans started complaining!!!

I can think of many others to thank. This is just window dressing.

It's about freakin' time! Thanks to the I.C.E.!!
It's time we bring back the rule of law to this land and kick those who disrespect our laws back to where they came from.
