House Judiciary Democrats Want Immigration Raids To End
Thu, 07/31/2008 - 12:53 — Judicial Watch Blog


Democrats on the crucial House committee that oversees the Department of Homeland Security as well as the Justice Department have joined illegal immigrant advocates in calling for an end to federal raids at businesses that knowingly hire large numbers of illegal workers.

Although the House Judiciary Committee is charged with overseeing the administration of justice within federal law enforcement entities, Democrat members are demanding that the Homeland Security agency in charge of immigration enforcement (Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE) stop doing its job.

In fact, at a recent hearing the California Democrat (Zoe Lofgren) who chairs the House Judiciary Committee’s immigration panel, blasted the Bush Administration for conducting what her entire party describes as harsh and punitive immigration raids. The Democrats called special attention to a recent raid at an Iowa meatpacking plant where nearly 400 illegal workers were arrested.

More than 300 illegal immigrants, mostly from Mexico and Central America, were eventually charged with Social Security fraud for using illegal Social Security numbers as well as aggravated identity theft. Representative Lofgren complained at the hearing that federal agents rounded up the workers and they were “herded into a cattle arena and prodded down a cattle chute, coerced into guilty pleas and then to federal prison.â€

are you kidding me, it's working, they're going home! Some democrats and especially those socio ethno centric are sounding so silly with their misplaced compassion and sanctimonious rhetoric. Listen Rep Gutierriez, you are wrong, period. Those people are here illegally (and i am so sorry that a majority of them speak Spanish) and some are even commiting other crimes, so put a sock in it and stop advocating for law breakers. Enough of this BS!
