Perhaps I missed it, but I didn't see where one single raid was conducted during the month. I guess the rumors are true, there will be no more raids.

Seems we have a lot to be thankful for since Obama was elected (insert sarcasm).

What our government has chosen to overlook is the fact that illegal alien felons are also apprehended during worksite raids. Yep, we have definitely reversed directions from Bush's last year in office. Of course we know why this is happening but can't seem to do a damn thing about it. The Democrats do not want to deport the so-called non-criminal illegal aliens because, in an effort to expand their future voting base, they want to make legal citizens out of them.

There's plenty of blame to go around. Bush and McCain wanted to give them amnesty too.

Just like Obama, Clinton, Kennedy, etc.

Who said otherwise? Everyone knew what Bush's motives were. Nonetheless, I was just glad to see a reversal of past non-actions. IMO, we were actually turning the corner during his last year in office. However, since the Democrats took control of everything, including the White House, we've been steadly losing the small gains we accomplished during Bush's last year.
